Halley and James say their relationship seems perfect; aside from getting their money in order. Halley does lashes and permanent makeup for a living and makes about $95,000 a year, while James is a musician and makes $16,000 a year. After eight years of pursuing a musical career, James is ready to walk away to make more money. 

As a first step, they’re looking to move to Colorado where they can upgrade their living situation and lower their expenses. Halley’s hope is for James to eventually make the same amount of money as her; and believes if he does, they will soar. While the pandemic hurt James’ career, he was still living paycheck to paycheck prior to the pandemic—which he wants to put an end to.
