Should I get a roomate just so I can get a new car?

Question

I have a big house all to myself and my animals( 1 dog & 1 cat). If I got a roommate I could get a new car? Or should I just stick with my old car and my peaceful house?

Answer 1

It's totally a personal choice.  If you really wish to have a new car and don't have the money to spare, renting one or two rooms out will get you the extra money you need.  Some people really hate to live with a housemate and rather to work harder to earn some extra $$ instead. If you're living by yourself, make sure be careful to choose your tenant and run a credit check on them.  Sign an agreement will also protect your right as LL.

Answer 2

if you do get a roommate, give them

a full written lease and add a mediator to it.

NOTHING is free.  YOU already figured that.

question is, what is your 'prison sentence?"

Answer 3

Broke Desperate and Stupid travel in packs and your about to do all 3 of them in one transaction.  What happens if the roommate moves out and then you are stuck with a large car payment that you cant afford. I have a better option for you save your money and in a year or so sell you car and upgrade in car to newer one.  The average new car depericates 60% in the first 4 years.   Save you money and buy a car 2-3 years old and let someone else take the hit.
