Take the pop culture acronym challenge

Origin of elevator budget
The "elevator budget" slang term comes from the high price of apartments with elevators on the Manhattan Island of New York City. If a person can afford an apartment with an elevator, they have a higher budget than those who can only afford apartments without an elevator (where they have to walk up the stairs).
