Yes, sweetheart, it is math. There’s an actual income-to-rent ratio that’s considered a standard for landlords to use. You either meet it, or you don’t. And it’s based on what you can prove you earn, not what you might be able to get once you find a job.

>Everyone is being money into this like I said I needed that and not someone with a Good credit score

A potential landlord is gonna bring money into this, dipshit. And even if you can find a sucker dumb enough to put their credit score at risk for some rando on the internet and the princely sum of $300, a good credit score and less than 3x rent in income still doesn’t get you an apartment, You may not want to hear it but everyone who’s telling you “you don’t make enough money” is saying that because they’re familiar with what it takes to rent an apartment in DC. Your little $6000 savings is enough for first months rent, security deposit, and most of a month‘s cushion to find a job, if you’re ok with not having any furniture and not really eating. This is the reality of living in one of the most expensive cities in the country, and when people tried to explain this to you, you threw a hissy fit and deleted your post.

>Best of luck to you and your search for a woman's touch

This is unnecessary. I didn’t attack you personally. If this is how you react to being told you can’t have what you want, things aren’t going to go well for you when you’re out on your own.

Bookmark https://smyal.org/, they help homeless LGBTQ+ young people , hopefully you won’t need them but if you do, I hope you listen to them more respectfully than you’ve listened to anyone in here.
