Solved Updating balance variable and calling it in a string

I have a plugin where so far I can do "/getdust" to get a "Magic Dust" which atm is just a glowstone dust with NBT data. When you right click the dust it gets added to a balance and disappears from your inventory.

I have a second command "/dbal" to view your balance of dust. The problem is when I perform the /dbal command in the game no matter how much dust is consumed it always sends as if the value of my balance is zero.

I'm, sure I'm just making some mistake of where I'm defining my variable or maybe I need to redefine my balance variable before I call it, but I'm unsure so I'm asking for help. I've attached the code below, Thanks.

MAIN: where I make the commands and such

    {

        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new EventsClass(), this);

        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("getdust") && player.hasPermission("dust.get")) //permission node is "dust.get"
        {
            ItemStack dust = new ItemStack(Material.valueOf(Main.getPlugin(Main.class).getConfig().getString("magicDustType")));
            ItemMeta dustMeta = dust.getItemMeta();
            dustMeta.setDisplayName(ChatColor.YELLOW + "" + ChatColor.BOLD + "Magic Dust");
            dustMeta.addItemFlags(ItemFlag.HIDE_ENCHANTS);
            dustMeta.addEnchant(Enchantment.MENDING, 1, true);
            ArrayList<String> dustlore = new ArrayList<String>();
            dustlore.add(ChatColor.WHITE + "" + ChatColor.ITALIC + "Right Click To Consume To Balance");
            dustMeta.setLore(dustlore);
            dust.setItemMeta(dustMeta);
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', Main.getPlugin(Main.class).getConfig().getString("dustGetMessage"))); //sends message defines in config
            player.getInventory().addItem(dust);
            return true;
        }
        if(cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("dbal") && player.hasPermission("dust.bal")) //permission node is "dust.bal"
        {
            player.sendMessage("You have " + ec.dustBal + " Magic Dust"); 
            return true;
        }
        return true;
   
    }

}
