  • Hey, it's Marielle.

  • When Vivian Tu first got financially naked in front of her partner, it was out of desperation.

  • She and her roommate had moved into a roach-infested apartment in New York City.

  • These roaches were getting into everything.

  • They were in our clothes.

  • They were crawling all over our food.

  • One of them died in our ice tray.

  • Ultimately, we had to pay $8,000 in total, so for her, for me, to break our lease.

  • And that was all the money that I had saved after a year of working.
