I'm thinking about getting a roommate, I haven't really considered it before but a friend that I knew from school suggested it and since I don't really work I guess it could be beneficial financially.

I've own my home and have only had one roommate before, until she moved her boyfriend in and then they never paid any rent for 8 months, it practically killed our friendship and I don't want to get into any kind of mess again with someone. I like my space and I've lived alone since I was 18 but I'm thinking this might help with me feeling lonely at times.

What do you guys think? And should I come up with some sort of contract?
