I’m mentally ready to move out but i don’t have the furniture i really want and that’s what’s holding me back from moving just yet. I kind of want to work two jobs because i don’t think I’ll make it on my own doing just one job... I’m scared I’m going to get burnt out and on top of that is it okay to move out with nothing but a bed and the necessary stuff ?

    If you want it bad enough, you'll find a way to do it. Creating obstacles limits you.
    when I moved out, i had no furniture, just clothes and a couple blankets for me and my little son. we moved into a 2-bedroom apartment. we slept on the floor until I could get a mattress. that stayed on the floor until i got a bed frame. I eventually got the things I needed. It just takes time. A bed and the necessary stuff sounds like all you need. <3

    p.s. have you thought about a roommate?

    I can’t motivate myself enough to get a second job, I’ll apply but when it comes to working the actual second job i get lazy quick

    You either want it or you dont. Sounds like you dont want it. I think you are mislead if you think anything anyone says here will change that for you.

    You need much, much less than you think you do.

    I am currently looking at apartments. I am unable to work more hours due to health reasons, so I'm figuring out how to save. I just downloaded a budget app to figure out where I can make tweaks overtime, researching how to save on utilities (i.e. not planning to get cable since everything I want is online). I am hoping to find a place that has easy public transportation/bike ride to work. Honestly don't need much, but every little thing counts.

    This is a good point too. Sometimes, you think you need it until you have it, then its just crap you dont even appreciate.

    I actually fantasize about moving out with nothing so I can have nothing. Or very little. Clothes, shampoo, food in a fridge, a sleeping bag , and most importantly, my rower. Stuff just holds you back. You are more than your fancy end tables.

    Throw pillows?

    Yeah, I wouldn't 'invest' in those.


    I'm a mininalmist.

    I could actually live very, very lean if I wanted to.

    I think maybe some kind of a dining table would be helpful.

    I see you owning something like this:

    The only thing I ever needed to move out was a sugardaddy. I mean, I still can’t touch my toes without feeling sad, but I think it worked out for the best.

    You might be mentally ready to move out but you are not financially ready to move out, least not with what you think you need.

    Do you live near any colleges/universities?

    No i have a good job that pays me $16.91 but i don’t think that’s enough for me to have everything i want in my apartment,

    I think if you have to work two jobs to afford the rent, you can't afford the rent and you have an inkling that's true. That's where you hesitation comes from maybe? Maybe look for a shared arrangement to start off with.

    I can afford the rent with my full time job alone but for my furniture and things I want in my house i want a second job

    Look into renting a fully furnished place. Things were in a rocky place with my marriage a while back. I contacted a guy that had his duplex listed as a vacation rental and asked him what he would charge by the month. Ended up being the same price as renting an unfurnished apartment/home with no lease. Win/win.
