Chapter 1: What is Kelsey’s relationship background?
I've always been told I'm a really good listener, right? And I maximized that while I was lying.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding. But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one.
The demand curve in action. And that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek. I'm Max Chavkin.

Chapter 2: How did Kelsey cope with her childhood?
When they arrived in their new city, they had to face the reality of living alone. Kelsey found a job in hospitality while she started her master's degree. But Morgan was too sick to work.
And the reality of affording grad school, working full time, going to school full time, paying for both of our lives and also paying for cancer treatments, medicines, was really a tremendous burden.
Kelsey was only 22 and she was the sole provider. Morgan found new doctors. And now that they were married, Kelsey was paying for more of Morgan's care.
I would say like 25% of every paycheck was going to Morgan. And so after a couple months of being on the East Coast, it was like thousands and thousands of dollars we were pouring into anything related to her health.
She became hyper fixated on financials.
I remember specifically Googling what it actually costs if someone dies. She wanted to be cremated, and I just remember looking at this $1,500 price tag, thinking, I'm never going to get what I need to cremate her.
But she found it hard to have open conversations with Morgan about it.
Because she didn't want to talk about death. It was just like every tiny little thing was overwhelmingly my responsibility.
It had been a year since Morgan shared her diagnosis. Even though Kelsey was now paying for Morgan's care, she still wasn't privy to the details of it.
