I worked out of my home for years. (Current business involves phone work.) My office was once a huge garage (4 to 6 cars easy), and now has a separate entrance, and would be perfect as a rental. It would cost me a lot to create a kitchen, and to put a shower into its current half bath,
but the income would be worth it.
Friends want me to do it, but I'm uneasy about another's vibrations in my space. And other than sharing the laundry room, they wouldn't even be in my space.
If you're feeling that way too, then respect and pay attention to that feeling.
Goldenratio asks if "living by yourself more desirable than the folding money?" I ask if folding money is more desirable than peace and sanity?
Instead of getting your own space and then adding a roommate, why not go on interviews to become someone else's roommate in their space? Contract should read that either party may end relationship with one, or two months notice. Much easier to get out if there are problems. And it would erase the fear you seem to have from your sf experience.
Does 2 months left on your contract have to mean the end of your job? Contracts can be renewed, and here too Diana's basic magic works.
I remember when I moved from NYC to Calif., (maybe about your age (?), mid twenties). Everyone told me it would be impossible to find a rental with my dog. I felt certain that it was impossible to consider living without dog, (Gladys at that time), and certain that I would therefore find my place. I did, actually we did.
That certainty in your heart is the magic, as Diana says, "shift the belief system."
I'm sure all of here wish you well.
