Can't Make Ends Meet

Dependopotamus testified that she cannot afford her rent at her new luxury apartment.
Part of the problem is that she got an apartment in the most expensive complex in the county.

The other part of it is her lack of budgeting skills.

Dependopotamus has been paid $2025 per month in child support and spouse support.
That's her "take-home" pay. A salary calculator tells me that this is comparable to a $30,000 / year job.
It's just her and my nephew - and he only part-time. She has no car payment.
If she worked a minimum-wage job ($7.25/hr.), her combined income would be the equivalent of $45K. That's higher than the state of Tennessee's median income ($44K)!

That's more take-home pay than half of the households of TN earn.


She cannot do what 1.2 million households in Tennessee do every day.
