♪♫ Nothing
I have been thinking a lot about my own apartment lately. I won't be able to move into an apartment until July or August, but I am preparing well in advance for it. I already have $3000 saved. My goal is $5000, which I will reach in June. I have a list of things I need as well. I am getting so excited! It has me thinking about my first apartment. I lived in it for two years and I was gorgeous. I really lucked out. The building was less than ten years old and in amazing condition. I lived in the "bad" part of town, but on a street that was considered to be quiet/nice compared to the others. I also lived right by the water and had an amazing view of it from my bedroom window.
I was on government assistance at the time, due to being only sixteen - eighteen years old at the time. They took only a third of my check for rent and the rest I used for food. School provided me a bus pass for school hours and my worker gave me a hole punch bus card as well. My grandmother generously paid $50 a month for my internet. I had a cheap cell phone plan that was paid for by my mother. I also did my laundry at the youth center to save money. It was one of the best times of my life. I miss it.
Now I'm thinking about how I want to decorate my next apartment. Currently I live in a furnished rooming house for college, so I have practically no furniture. The white furniture I used to have, fell apart a few years ago. It lasted a solid ten years though! I definitely need new bedroom furniture and I'm still a big fan of white... and luckily I found a gorgeous set at Walmart! I won't be buying it for a few more months, maybe longer, but I'm excited! It had good reviews, despite being cheaper furniture. I'm getting a wide dresser with a mirror, a chest and two night stands (one for when my boyfriend visits me!). I also will be keeping my current bed and bed frame (I have a queen size bed that is only a few years old & a basic metal bed frame). For the bed frame, I will be getting a white headboard to attach to it. Also, I have selected an affordable quilt set for my bed!
I have estimated that all of this will cost me around $1700. That is a generous estimate too. Likely will be closer to $1500. Then I have another $3300 to work with for the rest of my apartment. I plan to get lots of used furniture too, which will save money. I just wanted my bedroom to have all new furniture so that it can match and be pretty!
That is all for now. I will be posting updates when I purchase things for my apartment, but that process won't start until May or June. See ya next time!
