money or love?

Okay.

Okay, guys.

What is the first time you realized there was actually a dilemma between money or love when choosing a partner?

Oh.

Interesting.

Yikes.

Wow.

I think for me it was after I lost my job and I had to quickly go and like make my own money on my own because I didn't want to return to corporate.

And

I was like, wow, if I had a partner, I'd have...

If I had a partner with money, I'd have like such a long runway.

And at the time I lost my job, I guess the first time, I was still with my ex and he... stepped up and he was like I'll take care of you until you find your job and I was like wow that's actually really important to me yeah and I didn't even know because like love love can make you feel emotionally secure but how how will that pay your rent so that's when I realized like wow this is really important to me

Was there like a new feeling of being cared for that you didn't experience before? Yeah.

That was not emotional.

It ignited emotions, but it was not inherently an emotional care.

For him to be like, I got your groceries until you find a new job.

That's crazy.

It takes so much stress off.

Yeah.

So much burden off.

That love can't

take

away.

I have this joke that like I don't take advice from married people because or like people that are in long term relationships because to be single, like through your late 20s and early 30s and probably like, I don't know, let's not say anything past that.

But to be single through your late 20s and early 30s and not to have anyone to fall back on is its own stressor that I think single people don't get enough airtime for.
