When we got married seven years ago, we bought a two-family house. We live in half,and rent the other half. It was the only way we could afford to own a home.We have one child.
Anyway, our current tenants are a man,wife and two kids.They have been there for two years. The couple doesn't get along,and the man has moved out for the second time, this time he has rented his own apartment. It is unlikely they can afford both places, as ours is a large 3 bedroom. They have always lived beyond their means,(expensive electronics, designer stuff). The husband is giving the wife child support, but it is going to be tough for her to afford our place. My husband wants to lower her rent by $100 a month for six months to help her get by. We have a car payment and credit card payment debt, and I scrimp to get by. We don't go on vacations, and live frugally. I feel it is encouraging her to stay in a place she can't afford, and we take the hit. He says he will work overtime to help out. Help!
