does /biz/ have any tips on how to budget save on 'furnishing' a small apt or house? Comfort being the priority.

Don't panic anon. Do you have access to a car or any money at all? Check out your local craigslist; couches are one of the most common things given away, you can score a futon for free or under $50 if you can haul it.

buy second hand furniture. often people just want it gone and will give it away for free if you can collect it. do not get a second hand mattress though..

Get an air mattress it's a good temporary solution for a bed. if you're living alone it's really all you need to start out.

just get a good 20 to 24 inch tall mattress, don't get a peasant teir 4 inch air mattress.

Ahh I see. If you don’t mind me asking, do you regret getting into that argument with your mother? Considering everything that’s happened, would you go back in time and do things differently if the opportunity presented itself?

Get an air matress at walmart until you get a decent job. Cardboard box for a night stand. Goodwill has okay prices on dishes and cookware. Search criagslist/Facebook market place for free shit. Probaby not going to be well off until you get a source of income. I would do that first

Just use cardboard boxes and discarded plywood for everything. A box with a sheet of plywood on top makes an excellent table. As far as sleeping goes, a box with a sheet of plywood on top makes an excellent bed.

I use craigslist or curbside for most everything when I first got my apartment. I paid $50 altogether for a bigass rug, couch, loveseat, coffee table, and dresser. I made frenz with one of the maintenance guys and he kept giving me free shit, I actually started selling furniture for here and there when I had more than I needed, I just kept the better out of what was given and sold if new item was worse. If you live near a military base just go cruising around, often you'll see new stuff sitting outside. They move all the time and will usually just throw it away and buy new instead of move everything. Same idea with university part of town, but that's more seasonal, look around semester end.

I crashed at a friend's place when I got thrown out, then bought camping gear from Walmart for $20 and started camping in Walmart parking lots. Got a planet fitness membership and only used it to shower. After a week I got a super cheap niggershack. Somehow had 23 btc from doing random surveys in 2010 and sold those are $13-14k.
