It is based solely on my income. Because H and I were not married very long, I would get maybe 4 months worth of spousal support and no CS bc S8 is from a previous relationship. The realtor also said that it's not about having money in the bank, but about not making enough money to sustain some place long term. I.e. even if I had money in the bank from H, and there was an emergency or that money ran out, I could survive on my income, but just barely. And that makes renters nervous.
I would have to go a few towns away to afford a place, which would change S8's life a lot. School, afterschool, friends, etc. It's such a tough spot to be in.
I took this job at a school district because it would be good for a family and because H could support me during the 2 months in the summer when I won't be getting a paycheck at all.
I had only been working there 3 weeks when BD came...
