My husband and I talked a lot about whether or not I could even afford trying to be a counselor. After all, it is just him and I paying rent, utilities, food, gas, etc. We normally only squeak by financially with both of our incomes combined and we bring home about $3800.00 a month USD. But, we don't have to invest anymore money into things like our cats or furniture so we are going to attempt it.
It will be close. If I wanted money it would be better to work in a gas station or part time.
