Default Wheel bearing going bad?

About a week ago I started hearng a groaning side expecially when taking a turn to the right so im preety sure my bearing is going bad. Only problem is I can't afford to fix it for another two weeks and I gotta go to work and back. Will it be OK till then?

Right now I only believe my right front wheel bearing is going back because the noise comes from that side.

I bought a Timkin bearing for $50 at autozone and tomarrow getting it installed at a local shop.

Is it ok to just change one right now and the left front later when I get more cash?
