<human>: Well my wife and I just separated for what truly seems to be the final time(long story so I'll share that one later), and I'm currently in an iffy situation. I live in the Bay area of California serving as a soldier, and the readily available housing is extremely expensive(around 1650 a month). I could keep paying for the house easily but I believe a small condo would be much more suitable for my needs. The only problem is I have 2 cats and 2, 11 week old, puppies and a majority of the places I've found only allow 1 animal if any at all. Should I ruck up the price and deal with half my paycheck disappearing monthly or should I take the options I have to move into a smaller, but most likely better quality house/apartment. I'm only 20 years old and the whole housing game is a bit of an enigma to me. It also doesn't help that every day is usually a 15 hour work day.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I want to move out of shitty military housing that is super expensive but I have many restraints and 4 awesome pets to worry about. What would you do Reddit?
