Shauna and Nick had a long distance relationship until Shauna moved from St. Louis to the Toronto area to be with Nick six months ago. At the time, Nick bought a house for the two of them in which to live. However, both have found that being together is not the total fairytale each envisioned largely because of the way they relate to each other through their money. Nick admits that they both spend recklessly, but he blames Shauna for carrying more debt (although in reality, her debt is only slightly higher than his).
