You have a job. You will get alimony and child support. I don’t mean to pry or have this come off mean. But are you really living in poverty? Or is it a perceived poverty because it’s not the lifestyle you were living ? Or because he will live better than you? Are you really in that bad of shape? Or is it just in comparisons to how you were living ?
Ginger you've been calling me out on my bs since I got here and while my ego hates it sometimes I know this is how I get better.
As of right now my budget (on paper) says I have $350 left over each month and this is my bare bones budget. This budget isn't sustainable long term and I knew that before I rented this house. Yeah it's a crappy house but it's in a nice neighborhood and I was smart enough to discuss this with my L before I did this. He will have to pay me alimony it's just a matter of how much and when. A house in the ghetto will save me $300 a month so it's not like I went all out. I'm living lean.
