My neighbor said she has to move by July

She told me that last week. This is the one who lives below me and is on permanent disability. (yet somehow was out there shoveling the past couple of days while I had to pay someone to do it) She gets Social Security and also somehow her 18 year old son gets it too. I have no idea how because he isn't disabled. In any case the son's SS ends when he graduates high school in June. She told me she lives on something like $2500/month. I don't even know how that is possible in a state like NJ. When his SS ends she will be living on like $1500. Well that is impossible because my rent here is $1550 and hers is even higher than mine because she is month-to-month rather than on an annual contract. She does work at Walmart (but is limited in how much she can earn) and occasionally does Instacart. Still she regularly asks her sister to send her $$ to pay bills. So she will be leaving here in the coming months. She applied for some low-income housing a few towns away with cheaper rent but I still don't think that is going to be the solution. She said she is looking to quit Walmart. She was supportive of her son quitting his job. She said that she will have to put down her 13 year old yellow lab. I definitely don't understand some of her decisions but I will be sorry to see her go. She is the person who has the extra key here and who takes care of my cats when I'm in the hospital. I have other friends from the pool here who can do that for me. Still I'll miss her.
