I talked to my insurance company; insurance is more than 3x what it was in NC. Ditch the car.
And yeah, it is fairly easy (and fun!) to pick up inexpensive furniture here. And, of course, the size of bed (desk/chair/sofa/etc) will depend on the apartment you get.
(Someone else mentioned $500 bucks for a nice bed. That is some one-percenter bedding right there, if you ask me!)
I had packed six boxes, and my parents shipped them to me when I finally found a place to live. Turns out those boxes are still unpacked (and taking up space in my room!)
- mnutt 14y agoIt may be obvious, but don't buy a used mattress from someone you don't know in NYC. The bed bug risk means that it isn't worth it. And I don't think that $500 for mattress + bed frame is ridiculous, given that you spend roughly 1/3 of your life on it.
- gnosis 14y agoSome unconventional alternatives to a mattress and bed frame: - if your floor is warm enough, a sleeping bag on the floor (or perhaps on a foam mat -- the kind used for camping) might work - try a hammock (some are sold with special suspension intended to be used indoors) - a couch or futon
