Strap in as we venture through the minefield of social etiquette and financial dynamics in modern relationships. Adam shares his journey of crafting unforgettable moments amidst financial constraints, sparking a broader dialogue on work ethic and priorities that resonates whether you're single, hitched, or anywhere in between.
