I think it is time I got my own apartment...tell me about ur first time living alone

[newarkhiphop]

why can't u live in jersey? isn't the cost of living reasonable over there, yet you're still close enough to the city to take public transportation whenever u want?

barely

living alone =


I remember leaving my mommas crib and getting a spot down town......It was lonely for the first few months because I didn't really know anyone but eventually I got used it to it. Id always ask my homies to come over but they lived in the old neighbourhood relatively far away. I started meeting other people my age living down town and found a new social scene, it pretty much became a 2nd childhood with a new adventure every day. There is nothing like having your own space where you can literally shut the world out. The extra p*ssy you will get is just a plus.

Only advice I can give you is to buy groceries and not to eat out everyday. You don't really need cable or a home phone, just internet.

I lived with roommates for 5 almost 6 yrs, I stayed there the longest while other roommates came and went so I had variety of experiences. some people are great, some people are wack as fukk...all matters who you get really. I had 2 roommates (and one guy that lived in the back house) who were like my best friends. we chilled damn near every day while still giving each other space, everyone had respect and cleaned up after themselves, if someone borrowed something is was replaced the same or next day, then 1 left and some bytch ass cac and his cat moved in. this nikka was filthy and fukked the whole vibe of the house up. I was gone shortly after.

I live alone now, but I miss those times when I'd chill and smoke out with my roommates, get down on some mario cart on ps3 (or whatever that game is thats just like it), all of our friends got along too, so we'd have a bunch of people over for hookah + movie nights. we even hooked each other up with homegirls. we also lived with this white chick who was cool as hell too, she smoked weed, would chill in my room blaze out watch movies, spin records (she dj'd). shyt was coo when compatible (and have respect) with roommates, when you don't its hell on earth, but when you do it's quite nice

Great advice in here

So, should I aim for downtown area? Studio or one bedroom?

Complex or house type spot?

Imma just save and save and I really do hate roommates lol

when i got my own place from the very start i had a chick stealth move in with me. like most women she used her vagina as leverage to do it. came over all the time fukking me then there was a tooth brush, some flat irons, next she was storing s few clothes over my place. before i knew it the chick was living in my shyt. i come to find out she even got an ebt card using my address.

it took about a year to get her out. whatever you do don't let the p*ssy blind you to these style moves. don't let a chick move in with you or do it on some stealth shyt.


apartment life sucks too. neighbors above you possibly. multiple trips to the car grocery shopping. if you have a public laundry room that's ass too. also in the event of a tornado you're about as fukked as somebody in a trailer park.

i wanna move into a house, just don't wanna pay for all the shyt a home owner has to pay for nor do i want a mortgage.

my rent is $425 and my energy bill is $60-75 a month. if i got a mortgage i could probably do better than that.

Is it worth it?

Did it break your pockets?

Did you furnish it right away or later?

I need ny own place, but I dont wanna overdo it and struggle...bc I love to travel and go ham on weekends.

Before we talk about moving out... What are your plans for the near future.

Are you working a job that will get you somewhere?
Are you going to school?

OR Are you moving solely to have freedom?

Honestly, if you are in school, stay home. No need to struggle if you dont have to.

Stack your bread and try to get your sh** together for your future.

Freedom, Women, walking around naked, whatever... will be so much better if you can really afford to do it.

Live like a boss when you are really a boss.

I see...

In that case, You have to do your homework (of course).

See what you can afford. But keep in mind the big picture. This isnt going to be you permanent residence. So get your bread up, network at your job and elsewhere and use your youth, degree, and network skills to your advantage.

That way, you can buy your own home ( if you choose) and really live like a Kang...

I bought a house when I was 24. Had a lot of doe...kinda rushed and bought a crib. My bills are high...mortgage at $1650 plus other shyt. I'm living in this big

ass house alone now. I wish I bought a condo or something smaller, but and this is the biggest plus. Is when I bring a chick over or if I'm gonna go on a date

with a chick I'll say let's meet at my place and I'll drive. They see the house, invite em in for a sec...brush it off like its nothing and they like..

this your house

yup

and you live by yourself

yup

:nice:

and just like that, if a chick was just a lil bit into you, she def feeling me now!

Cuz bottom line, bytches love a guy whose on his own and if they think you got money, its a wrap.

But I would recommend if you have the opportunity to save money...save as much as you can...keep saving. Get a place when you feel you have plenty of dough stacked, not when someone else tells you should.

 

[daboywonder2002]

whatever you do, please don't go to places like rent a center and aarons for your furniture. yes, the furniture is nice. but in end you will have paid way more money than you expect. if you dont have money for furniture, ikea is your friend. i dont know about yall, but i like some of the stuff ikea has to offer. either that or save your money until you can get the furniture you really want .

I'm about to move in two months.

Looking at some townhomes with 2 of my homies ... but I'm also looking at 1 bedroom places on the side.

Y'all make me not want to move in with them with these solo stories. Plus I have more expensive shyt than them, I don't want them to bring nikkas over and they see all my shyt.

 

[Rockstar Mom]

shyts almost impossible for a young nikka in NYC to move out without a real decent job. rents here start at 1k for studios and 1 bedrooms in the slums. im trying to stack to move the fukk out but this shyt almost seems impossible and im exstremely low maintenance i know how to survive on 200 a month

for those living on they own in NYC how much did ya make before ya felt comfortable moving out?

why do people always say this? I'm a single parent NOT living on government assistance, and pay $700 in a rent stabilized building.

You just don't know where to look.

 

[|r|e|a|d|]

My first spot was a townhouse in the ATL area (Stone Mountain). Paid about $800 a month total (rent, utilities, internet, and Dish).

If you can find something in your budget that works, it's totally worth it. Going from having to deal with roommates in the apartment I had back in college and dealing with the bullshyt that comes with that (nikkas being late with bread, not doing dishes, arguing with they chicks, etc) to having my own spot was a monumental transition, mainly because you set your own rules and agenda. Plus on the chick side, there is nothing like having your own spot.

The main thing is making your budget and sticking to it. Not just making sure you got enough for rent and utilities, but also food costs, gas money, and the other essentials. I've seen cats who moved into their first spot after only living with their parents and just go on wyle out mode, blow their rent money at the bar and/or the club, on weed, on stunting, or on some chick, and end up ass out making them "Help a nikka out" calls to they friends and family once the 1st rolls around.

As long as you take your time picking a good spot (neighborhood, neighbors, proximity to work and where you like to hang, etc) and it's within your means, getting your first spot is one of those moments in your life that you always remember and appreciate.

I still remember the first bytch I kicked out of my spot. Ah, memories.

C/S this entire post

I got my first crib when i was 17, after i got the crib i had sum loot for a tv an airmattress a desk sum pots and 1 of them answering machines that took regular size tapes hooked up the adapter and that was my radio. But you couldnt tell me nuffin bangin hoes left and right. Freshman year in school my first homecoming the crib looked like the ghost face video fools were sleeping in the halls the balcony the closets the kitchen.
Ahhh the joy of throwin a broad out the crib.

But living on yo own>>>>
Living on yo own and no roomates>>>>>>>>>>

man, most of these broads will bust for a cat with a 1 BR apartment. You show them you got a full crib, they probably stripping down before the date begins
