Nevada Chapter 7 Income Limits Novels & Stories

"She was in the NICU for a month. On a ventilator. She had a brain bleed. She needs her mother." "She also needs food. Housing. Healthcare. All of which require income." "You're working." "And barely keeping up with bills. Add six months of single income? We'd drain savings. Go into debt. Possibly lose the house." I hadn't thought that far. Hadn't done the math. "So what are you saying?" "I'm saying we need to be realistic. You going back to work isn't abandonment. It's necessity." "She's two months old." "Adjusted age. Actual age is four months."

Four to six weeks before her entire world collapsed. She pulled out her notebook and did the math again, even though she already knew the answer. Monthly income: six hundred dollars (if she worked every available shift). Monthly expenses: two hundred seventy-five dollars (rent, utilities, food). Available funds after basic expenses: three hundred twenty-five dollars. Monthly cost of mother’s care: four thousand dollars. Shortfall: thirty-six hundred seventy-five dollars. Every single month. For the next four to six weeks, she had to figure out how to pull three thousand dollars a month out of nowhere. There was no job in Greywatch that paid enough. There was no way to earn that kind of money
