The Ugly Truth

I am breaking up with my boyfriend today. On top of the emotional disaster that's about to happen, it means a lot for my finances too. Although boyfriend has not ponied up for his fair share since we moved in together in June, I was still relying on his help with the costs involved. I can't come up with $1200 on my own and manage to pay my car payment, insurance and all other costs of living. My monthly living expenses are $1,450. And I make about $1500, if I'm lucky. That does not include household purchases, groceries, gas, etc. So without a roommate, I'm screwed.
But as far as living with some one goes, this could be worse that living with boyfriend. I keep to myself. I go to work, I come home, I study, I paint or write, I watch television, then I go to bed early. I don't feel comfortable with people I don't know in my house. I don't feel comfortable with random men coming in and out. I need a female roommate that's, for the most part, just like me. And what are the odds of that happening?
I guess I should focus on one thing at a time... break up with boyfriend.
