Default Caring for a living thing?

I want to get a cat or a dog but I been thing. "Am I really ready to take in a living creature?" Sure I have money now but what will happen if I lose my income?

My therapist says I should get a pet to help with my mental heath. Is that really the right reason to get a pet? Is it really fair to the creature to just get it to full the void in my life? What if it gets sick will I have enough to get it the care it needs? As a animal lover I am torn between my desire to give my pet a good life and my desire to fill the void of loneliness since I started living on my own.

Is it really right to just get a living feeling creature for my own selfish desires?
