I have a friend, to whom I have rented my house. So far, she has paid her rent on time, and she actually does a few things to fix up the place (it's nowhere near "done"). We have worked together for months, and I believe she's a competent, hard-working person. If only it were easy...
She only nets about $140 a week. And she has three pets. And she's not very good at... cash allocation. She has five bucks to buy a dvd, but she tried to beg me for some stamps (to send in utility checks).
She wants a roommate... but she thinks we can't get one until the house is 100% finished (it's like 60% now). But she has excuses about doing some little things... and I know they're crap.
Get a second job, right? Nope, she "can't" leave her animals alone in the house all day, because her dog eats garbage, or some crap. And the animals are staying...
I don't plan to throw her out. But how do I get her head in the game, thinking of how we Can instead of how we "can't"? Real answers.

Tell her you need some alternate solutions then.
Make a plan together and put it on the calendar of what needs to be done and when to have things ready for a roomate ASAP.
Good luck!

Not knowing the housing market in your area...your roommate might be surprised to find out that people are willing to move into a work in progress for a slightly cheaper rent. Also, point out the benefits of a third person's income into the mix.
Secondly, introduce your roommate to online billpay no stamps needed.
