Met my wife when I was between jobs. I didn't land a job until we had already dated for three months. And then I was making more money than anyone she had ever dated in the past, and ended up having a more stable job situation than they did as well.

Now granted I still had my apartment for that three months, so it probably didn't feel that radically different. I just burned though most of my emergency savings and had to build it back up again after.
