    don't be afraid to stop at a yard sale. you can get some really good deals at yard sales and sometimes people do realize what they have and you can get something really worth some cash for little to nothing. so get up early on Saturday and check out those yard sales. your comfy couch could be in someones front yard with a 10$ take. so its a little worn throw a couch cover over the top and they will never know. you don't have to be rich to outfit your new apartment with what you need to live comfortable.

    you can outfit your home overnight or over a few different paychecks. take your time and don't rush. But once you get what you want don't let your so called "friends" trash what you paid for. don't let them disrespect you by disrespecting your stuff. you paid good money for it and its yours. unless they are going to replace it for you make sure they treat as if they paid for it.
