* EarnYourHappyEnding: A great example of this; [[spoiler:after spending the entire series struggling to make ends meet, the Evans family finally gets a break, with J.J. getting a job as a professional cartoonist, Keith getting a new football contract after knee is healed, him and Thelma having a baby, and moving in to a bigger apartment, bringing Florida with them to be their live-in nanny. Also, Michael goes to college, and Willona gets a promotion at her botique, and she and Penny end up moving into the same apartment building as Keith, Thelma and Florida, thus continuing to be their downstairs neighbor.]]

* ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: As much as they struggled to make ends meet, James and Florida would readily turn down an opportunity if it went against moral principles. Such as when James is offered a job from a televangelist friend, which he’d initially accepted. But when he saw the impact his doing so would have on his children (he would have been feigning ailments so that he could be “healed“), he changed his mind. Likewise, Florida turning down a TV commercial spot upon learning she’d be selling a product made mostly of alcohol; she also stated she wouldn't do it if she had to do "dialect" i.e. not speak proper English; as soon as Michael gets drunk from drinking the tonic, Florida wants no further part of it. Also when J.J. is making good money with a small-time gangster/gambling operation, Florida refuses to accept any of his "dirty money" and kicks him out of their apartment, until he comes to his senses.
