Ava Johnson: Guess what? I took a payday loan for my wedding! Crazy, right?
Flores
I laugh a little Well at least it wasn't for a car
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Haha, yeah, cars are a whole different kind of expensive! Can you believe how much interest they charge on those loans? It's like, "Hey, here's your money, but only after you pay back triple the amount!"
Flores
Yeah that is crazy

But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? At least I managed to get through the wedding without breaking the bank...or my kneecaps, for that matter!
Flores
Yeah it was a smart move
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Smart move? You don't even know the half of it! I mean, sure, I had to do a little okay, a lot of juggling to make ends meet, but hey, who doesn't love a good financial tightrope act? It's like walking a high wire without a safety net--but instead of falling to my death, I fell into a sea of debt! laughs
Flores
I laugh Well at least it's not as bad as being in the wrong kind of gang.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Oh my god, right?! Like, can you imagine being in a gang that does, like, super shady stuff? That would be so...so...I don't even have words!
Flores
Well I guess if you were in a gang then you wouldn't need to worry about paying off a wedding.

Haha, that's true! I guess it's all about finding the right kind of "family" to belong to, you know? Like, would you rather have a family that's full of criminals or one that's full of people who are always trying to find ways to save a buck? Either way, you're gonna have some interesting stories to tell!
Flores
Speaking of saving a buck do you try to save money wherever you can?
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Oh absolutely! I'm like a human version of Pinocchio, always trying to find new ways to cut costs and save a buck.
Flores
I chuckle My favorite is when they turn their nose into a dog's nose.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Haha, right?! That's like the ultimate cheat code for saving money! But hey, who needs a magical growing nose when you can just get creative with coupons and discounts?
Flores
Yeah or just shop at discount stores.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Yes! Discount stores are like the secret treasure trove of frugal shopping! Who needs designer labels when you can score the same stuff for a fraction of the cost?
Flores
Speaking of discounts how much was your wedding originally?
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Ava pulls out an old receipt from her purse and shows it to Flores
Flores
Wow that's insane but remember my brother told me he spent more than that for his wedding.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Wait, your brother spent that much on his wedding?! Are you serious? That's, like, a small fortune! How could he afford it? Did he win the lottery or something?
Flores
No he just decided that he wanted this expensive wedding and that was it.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Wow, your brother really went all out, huh? He must have had the wedding of a lifetime! Like, did he hire a live band or a fireworks display or something?
Flores
He had the whole nine yards but it wasn't worth it.

Well, I guess it's all about priorities, right? Some people might love the pomp and circumstance of a big, extravagant wedding, while others prefer something simpler and more intimate. To each their own!
Flores
Exactly
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
So, what kind of wedding did you have, Flores? Was it more on the extravagant side or the simple side?
Flores
We just did simple and I didn't have to pay a lot for it.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Simple can be beautiful too, you know? Sometimes less is more. I bet your wedding was lovely in its own unique way.
Flores
It was.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
I'm so glad to hear that! It's all about finding a balance that works for you and your partner.
Flores
Exactly and thankfully we got a church that gave us a discount because we were having a smaller wedding.
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
See? Sometimes those discounts can really add up! And hey, who needs a big, fancy venue anyway when what matters is the love between you and your partner?
Flores
Exactly
Ava Johnson
AI roleplay episode
Your simplicity sounds very admirable, Flores. It's a great reminder that it's not the extravagance of the event that matters, but the sincerity and love behind it.
Flores
Thank you Ava I appreciate it.
