We put a deposit down on an apartment!! Managed to come WAY under budget which is awesome. Moving in August. Currently in the "resisting buying all furniture with nailheads" stage.
Fuck yeah for saving money! Now, take the difference between what you were willing to spend and what your current apartment costs and squirrel it away. It'll be there for when you really need it, like a rainy day, a down payment for a new car, or even for a house. When do you guys move in? What kinds of things do you plan to do when you have guests over? A home isn't a home until you fill it with friends. :)
You know it. I'm looking forward to being able to actually save rather than continuously overspending on tent. We move in mid August. I'm for sure trying to get game night to be a regular thing. I'm gonna have my mom send my super nice Mah Jong set from California so I can teach (and relearn) the game with my friends bc I am a literal Jewish grandma. I also have friends who I'm sure will want to come over and play with my cat(s) to-be and that's fine with me.
