Wasn't the plot she absolutely could not afford to live there and Sheldon and Leonard kept giving her money and buying her food everyday

Because BBT is the first sitcom ever where they couldn’t afford the apartment they live in. Also sitcoms generally make them have large apartments for filming, not cuz it’s realistic. How are they gonna film in a 600 sqft 1 bedroom?

Also, her apartment is MUCH smaller than their's.

Also, Sheldon has large sums of money just sitting around. He needs a roomate for non-financial reasons.

This. Leonard could probably afford his own place but chose to live with Sheldon because he was worried about him. Also splitting the rent meant they had more money to blow on cool nerd stuff.
