    I've had my own place for about 5 years but here I am watching your entire video before work 😅 I love everything about moving into a new place tbh. It's such a big responsibility when you get the first and you learn so much along the way but also, it's fun. Cooking is deff where I lack!!! Haha.

    • @SelenaTrevino
      @SelenaTrevino  2 года назад +1

      Omg no way?! Congrats haha have you stayed at the same place the entire time or moved every year? I’m so curious 🤪 but yes I agree I feel like I’m definitely stil learning! Cooking for oneself is soooo hard 😂 atleast for me!

    1. I'm the same way and prefer to be alone as my "home base"!
    2. UGH deciding what to eat every day is the WORST. I think you'd love hello fresh or green chef, its a super fun at home date night. I recommend one of you cooks while the other cleans up :)
    3. Your mom sounds amazing and I would love to hear that story one day

    • @SelenaTrevino

Also so glad it wasn’t just me who was confused about a cashier’s check 😂 INVESTMENT PIECES such great choices and I loved your tips for minimal wall styles - I needed that support for leaving a lot of walls blank. Lastly please show us an unofficial current state of the apartment tour 😍❤️‍🔥 I love you so much, this literally made me so at peace this morning during my wfh day
    Oh my gosh, the emotions at the end have me emotional 🥺 your gratitude and discipline will get you so far in life bb. Love you Selena

  • @tatianabritton6258

    one tip that i learned in regards to paying bills/budgeting/etc., first start with creating a spreadsheet of showing what must be paid (bills - car note, rent, phone) vs what is (expenses - tv streaming services, apple music, amazon prime). then open multiple accounts and have each account dedicated to that one specific expense. so for me, i have two checking accounts, one for personal spending and one for my reoccurring subscriptions that can be canceled anytime. then i have all savings accounts for my car note, my cell phone bill, insurance, paying my credit card, and the rest of the works. The reason behind this is to split up your responsibilities, that way you can’t accidentally spend the ____ money thinking you had the funds for it but in all actuality certain transactions did not post yet and your actual balance of money available is less than currently posted. one thing i will say is to call you bank and have a cs representative open it for you and explain why, otherwise it may trigger a fraud alert on your account and you’ll be temporarily locked out.

    I was recently looking for my own place but I stopped for a while because my older sister and I have chosen to move together, but as someone who did a lot of research on having my own apartment, you gave really good advice that I didn’t even think of. This was a great video! We definitely need those apartment ideas videos as well as a video on your journey! I would love to see those videos from you. Oh, and “real one”. From beginning to end as always, lol. ❤️

    Awesome video, Selena!! 🥰I definitely relate to a lot of the stuff you said - cleaning is so much even just for one person!!! I actually just made a similar video but more focused on apartment hunting and I feel like making these types of videos are so fun to reflect on, especially about how far we've all come. I also loved the part at the end about your mom! I feel the same way. I had big apartment hunting struggles just a couple of weeks ago and my mom was my #1 supporter throughout the whole experience. S/o to all the amazing moms out there!
