Plus and Minus

It took an obscene number of days and a bizarre amount of states, but we got ourselves moved.

Sort of.

See, we’re employed! You would think this would make it EASIER to locate housing, but you would, in fact, be HORRIBLY WRONG.

See, we moved to a part of Colorado that has income restrictions on a large amount of their housing. Now, you would THINK this would mean that you have to make over a certain amount to qualify for their housing, but yet again, you would be HORRIBLY WRONG.

No, you have to make UNDER a certain amount. Which, hey, I am ALL for low income housing, but the amount you have to make under and the amount you would pay in rent per month MAKE NO FREAKING SENSE.

So, we have 3 people in our family. Our income restriction would be 43500 per year. Now, please explain to me how someone making 43000 and under per year would be able to pay 1100 per month for an apartment? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

I’m planning on how to decorate our new cardboard box, as that might be all we can find.
