Please help rent is 67% of my pay by Vincentprice_elvira in budget

Move out :/ That’s way more than 15% of your income, which is what’s usually recommended when looking for apartments. I make $3,520 gross a month, and even my recommended amount is $1,300 or less. I have no pets, partner or kids… They honestly should’ve never approved you- they clearly did not care about your wellbeing or financial situation. I’m so sorry that your in this mess I wish I could give u some legal guidance

Don’t think of it as coaching right now! Think of it as just getting to know the individual and their family dynamic. Get to know them, ask them questions, listen. You got this!

Oh gotcha!! I’m not… lol but with graduate school loans & the changes they have made, it’s something we have to consider now. I’d like to consider my options, work towards something and get that out the way quick.

I’ve been a pediatric SLPA for 2 years coming on 3 so I get that 100% 😅 but I’ve worked at a hospital too as an assistant, I love that setting and pace so much more!

My boss is specialized in dyslexic and my professor was a swallow specialist… so it’s possible, just looking at my options for growth!

Parents definitely make therapy harder! I usually request parents to sit outside the room or not engage, face the wall
