Some people get into debt, again, because they have a hard time just making money sometimes or something happens in their life where they have to have an expensive car repair.

It makes it hard to have money when you're not working like that.

I feel like I've been lucky.

I've dated plenty of people where we had very different financial circumstances and we always find a way or have found ways to make it equitable.

And that's what's important to me at the end of the day.

This was a great chat, Sarah.
