How I did it: Well after we lost our old apartment... we wern't in the best shape.. our credit was shot we were both broke. & We have to live seperately which in my opinion was the worst part. I stayed with him at his Dad's for about 3 months that didn't work out. So I went to my brother's for the last 5 and it's been really hard. Going through job after job, but we finally got everything figured out. We had to watch our spending. & actually shop around this time. & it helps to know people because word of mouth actually helped us find our place. & we're paying almost $100 less than our old apartment for nearly 600 MORE square ft. and a basement!!! Our old apartment was just a garden style with one level and no basement... this one is a townhome with a basement. So be sure to shop around to get the best deal. I know it's exciting to move and a lot of people due to the excitement go to the first place that will have them.

Lessons & tips: Really think about what you need... when you go to the store make a list before hand that way you don't spend more money than you planned and you know what you NEED.
