Glayvin...I understand after living by yourself for awhile, it's hard to think about bringing in a roommate. But I would strongly urge you to hold off on renting yourself a one bedroom until a few months of work on the line. In the meantime, crash with a buddy. I found myself away from home so regularly for the first couple years it would have been insane to literally toss money away on rent for a place I lived in just a few nights a month.
