How did your love story begin?

A mutual friend, Elise, invited me along to set up Mike with our other girlfriend. I was there to help Elise keep conversation flowing. But Mike and I ended up talking all night and we said to our Elise and her boyfriend separately that we enjoyed each other! Nothing happened - he was there to meet my other friend. But nine months later after completing my masters degree, I (Judy) joined eharmony to start dating again and Mike was in my top matches! We’ve been together ever since (2007).

What would you do with $20,000?

I was the breadwinner in our family until I was laid off August 2024 from my corporate communications leadership role. The job market has been brutal, but I also created an LLC so I can consult and freelance, and that is enough for many bills and food/expenses. But we would take that money and use it toward debt and mortgage payments we owe as a result of my being out of work almost a year.
