My first place away from mom and dad was "furnished" garage apartment that was $90 per month and not wort that. It was a horrible place but it made me real happy to move up to a nicer place.
In my single days I dated more than a few women that lived in the typical apartment complex. Some of them had an interesting pool areas in the summer. Most had horrible parking situations and getting groceries from the car to the apartment was an exercise in frustration. Most had no sound insulation between the apartments and the racket was horrible. For some reason we seemed to spend a lot more time at my house than the apartments of the ladies.
I miss apartment living like a toothache.
Just remember you are saving money for that perfect place with a 3 car garage!
