I am not one to normally complain about my personal life on here however I will make an exception this time. I cannot discuss it in other places, so alas I am left with no where else to turn.

My roommate is moving out. She isn’t sure when but she is sure she is moving. Our lease is not up until April 1. Ok, so I get her to agree that even if she moves out early she will continue to pay the rent until the end of the lease. Fair, right?

But what about after she moves? Having spent a good part of 2008 and 2009 unemployed, I am in no position to move. But I cannot afford to stay here. Not really. Sure, I can pay the rent and the bills but it leaves me very little left at the end of the day. And that is no life I want to lead!

So then my options are move somewhere cheaper or find a roommate. But cheaper places wont take Ludo and a roommate is not an ideal situation when I won’t know the person ahead of time nor will I be confidant in their ability to care for my pup.

I am stressed. I know it is two and a half months away but I need to begin planning now. Do I get a roommate? Do I move? Do I stay and deal with no savings, no insurance, and no chance for a vacation anytime soon?

Help.
