I personally avoid the first floor since it’s the most likely part for break ins and robberies in apartment buildings. More bugs can be found on first floor. If your curtains are open people can just be looking in your place(which can contribute to people deciding if you have things worth stealing). Heating bills will be higher since heat rises and it’s harder to warm a first floor room. Any packages in front of the door are more likely to be stolen. Less natural light. Etc.
Damn
I love the first floor units it depends on the area but I like it cause I can walk around much as I like and not have to worry about disturbing the people below me it dose not get as hot in the summer moving in furniture is way more easy same with moving out. There are pros to it
@@ryans413 Yeah it is true there are some pros. Though I’d rather be safer than have those few conveniences.
Wow, I didn't know about the heating being more expensive on the first floor. Though luckily I don't even use a heater. Thanks!
@@ryans413 are you talking about a house or an apartment?
Cause I never notice the people above me walking. 🤔
My coworker told me to get an Amazon list together of things i would need, and slowly get them each paycheck, so you have it when you move it🙂
Thats really smart, gonna get that started soon
I have been verrrrrry slowly collecting bits and pieces that don't take up too much room in my parents house XD I basically have everything I need except the big things like a fridge, washing machine, etc.
MUST HAVES
Bed
Place to eat
Towels
Toilet paper
Cleaning supplies
Soap
Cups plates utensils
Trash bins
Shower curtains
Food
Covers for windows
Toolbox tools
Plunger
Broom and dust pan
Fan and heater
yes!
Too complicated, atleast 3 walls and maybe a roof
@@lemonous6289 mf house is just a triangular box with a dirt floor
first aid!!
Pots and pans an oven mitt a shoe rack at least a microwave or air fryer a dresser to put clothes away hangers to hang up clothes a laundry bin and basket a couch. Not all that is must haves but you’ll notice it’s a little inconvenient without.
ALWAYS VIEW IN PERSON BEFORE SIGNING ON.
Online pictures will be angled to not show swollen skirting, or have furniture places to cover water damage stains etc which indicates poor living conditions and a landlord who doesn't care about their tenants.
You can't see fine details like swollen skirting, water bubbled wall paper, or smell rotting carpet through a video tour.
The photos may also be older than what the current state looks like (eg 1 yr prior photos wouldn't show any damage from a destructive last tennant).
On signing the contract you're usually also signing a "entry report" (agreed condition of flat prior to moving in).
If they change that to not include damage that IS there and you signed it, they can foot you with the bill because you signed a legal document that said the damage didn't exist before you moved in.
You NEED to go in person to make sure you don't get screwed over.
I'm speaking from experience as a first time flatter with my friends, we all got screwed over.
Our flat had serious prior flood damage. Mould all under the carpet and behind installed cupboards etc.
Not just discolouration mould.
It was FLUFFY.
We didn't discover this until 6 months later, when our flat had it's first flood, there was an inch of water over all the carpet. After the chemdry company dried it out, and we had moved things around to look at the damage was when we had discovered the *previuosly existing damage and mould* that we had been *living in* the entire time.
We thought us getting sick constantly was just fresher flu.
Nope, mould spores and bronchitus from the humidity of floorboards thay never dried due to yearly floodings.
They'd hidden the worst of the damage by installing permanent furniture like wardrobes and cabnets over it.
We should have realized and had a better look around when we had moved in and seen the swollen skirting, but we were too excited about having our own place that we just skipped over doing a nit picky thourough investigation.
Nit picking at ugly skirting seemed like a Karen thing to do. Now we know better.
We ended up needing to pay $1500 worth of hostel fees EACH to stay somewhere safe while we applied for emergency accomodation (thank god my uni is nice and gave us accomodation free the rest of the year once our application went thru) and started legal proceedings against the landlord.
Even when a flat is unliveable, if you signed a contract, you have to pay for it through to the end.
We were paying that bitch $375 a week all year despite the poor conditions while we were in there, and even legally needing to pay her when we weren't living there.
We got a refund for the electricity for dehumidifiers and chemdry company bills (~$700), since it counts as "tennant-landlord organized repairs" but nothing else.
Hi!! Yes I completely agree! That sounds so awful, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that 😞
Great advice! I'll use that when I'm ready to move out! :) I'm planning ahead of time so in the future I won't freak out. (I am currently 12... yes, long ways to go but I am and over thinker and someone that freaks out and gets stressed easily sadly :/)
@@NataliaRaquel Yeah.... That must've been a nightmare to live in that place! 🤢🤢🤢🤢
it’s not always available to show in person at the time.
Im moving into my first ever apartment in a few weeks. Always have lived at home with my ma and sister. Im 30 and at first I was excited but now that it's getting closer to the move in date I can help but feel anxious, sad and super on edge.
Congrats on your new place 🎉 you got this! You're gonna be okay don't worry.
@@ohmyitsrennn1331 💕 thank you! I moved in a few days ago and Im trying to relax.
How are you getting on? I move soon too 😬
@@beautiful94x51 Its going good so far, the first three nights alone had me shaky and sad. I dont have a car so learning the bus routes and train schedules was a bit of a challenge. For the most part I think I got it. After a bit of being on my own, I noticed that I wanted to challenge myself a little bit more so I've been trying out different recipes. I'm also trying to talk to new people. I've yet to make a friend but I still have my fingers crossed! 😄.
The day of move was stressful and gave me a splitting headache. A small yelling match happened due to stress and exhaustion. I hope your move day is a bit less tiring. I suggest some aspirin and if you have them, get some friends to help move you in. 😄 After a bit it becomes exciting! I hope in the end it is a fun experience.
I’m praying I’ll move out of my moms place by the end of the year and never look back! I’m 27 and I lived alone once, it was fabulous! I felt the same as you at first but it was the best living experience ever, I grew a lot! I feel like I was happy to move back home for a while once I moved back to my hometown but I’ve become stuck and way too complacent here… it’s been 3 years!
I like all your advice except your take on renters insurance. Highly highly recommend renters insurance. It’s only like $20 a month or less and it protects all of your belongings if there was ever flooding, a natural disaster, a fire, or theft
I never thought about going to goodwill for cup, bowls, etc!
One tip for bed frame, i use pallets. You can most of the time get them for free at large box stores or large shops in general. We sanded two and cut them to size. Now i have a free rustic feeling bed ''frame''
Be careful with these as some are sprayed w chemicals to keep them from rotting or bugs
I'm so going to rewatch this in a few years time for when I move out :) amazing tips natalia !
Sadie Smart thank you!! Yes I hope they help you out when you move out 😊
I'm so scared of moving out to be honest. Where I live the minimum wage is $350 and half of it goes on rent, bills and food. As a student in university, I can't afford a well paid job in the beginning and after I calculated everything based on the minimum wage I'll be left with $140 for the rest of the month. I won't die of hunger, that's for sure. But I don't know if I'll be able to actually live decent taking in account I'll also need other basic home supplies. Prices here skyrocketed in the last few months and something that last year was like 3 bucks, almost doubled in price in present.
Update: I moved out, found a decent job and cheap rent!! I'm not so scared anymore!
@@user-xz8ch5jc7n thats nice!
@@user-xz8ch5jc7n omg that’s so inspiring ~ glad you did it!
Move to India ! Prices are comparatively way too low! and very friendly and supportive neighbors (specially very kind& helpful to foreigners)! :) :))
I'm moving into my first ever apartment in 3 days everything is signed 1st and 2nd months rent paid I make between $2,500-$3,000 a month and I'm excited but terrified I'm moving into a beautiful studio apartment with my cat and my rent is $750 a month with heat and hot water INCLUDED.. after paying bills, utilities, groceries, pet bills, I'll have over $1,000 left a month still have anxiety about it
$1000 left over is pretty good tho
@@ranagarelnabi5075 yeah that's true just extremely anxious about the entire situation...I always planned to have my own apartment before 20 and I turn 20 in November so I made it it's just anxiety
how was it moving out!!
I wish studio's cost that cheap here in Sacramento, CA. Try more like 4 × $750.
Hello, that’s actually awesome! May I take what are you doing where you’re making $2,500-$3,000 a month?
I'm moving out in 2 weeks!! so so relatable
Francesca Venezia congratulations 🎊 good luck with moving out 😊
I really appreciate that you get into a lot of important tips that can sometimes be ignored by other youtubers. This is really insightful. I'll definitely save this one so that I can look it up whenever I needed it.
I’m currently working to move out for the first time. Right now I’m making my plans, looking at places and budgeting out my money. I want to get a few more paychecks under my belt before I feel financially comfortable to move out.
Everything went well I hope?
Thank you that was helpful .. getting ready to move out and live on my own for the first time , so excited !!
I have 6 weeks before I move out & im so excited, thank you for the advice
You opened my eyes to things I didn’t think of such as dog rent & down payment, insurance (even tho I know of it I didn’t look up how much it really is). Should’ve also mentioned cleaning & safe products.
Glad you liked it! And yes great idea, will mention them in future videos!
love the tips!! this is so useful because i knew so little about some of those things until recently!!
Sofia Arlow yay so happy the tips helped! Thank you ☺️ 💕
I'm moving out in three weeks with a roommate who has been my best friend for 10 years. She's working full time and I'm a full-time college student and part-time worker. I've done my budgeting for my monthly income but I'm still so nervous.
did you move out
You’re very lucky
Moving out end of the year! Thank you so much !!!
Of course, best of luck!!
Thank you so much. Very stressed about moving out so thank you thank you! Could you do an adulting video on time management? One of the biggest struggles for me! :)
just moved out boiii. long time comin
Thats awesome! Congrats 🎉
Thanks for the advice! Much needed 😩🙏
You're so welcome! 🥰
Great video, thanks for the amazing tips!
Thank you so much for this information. This is my senior year, I’m so nervous to live on my own 😬. Even though I also want to live on my own away from my family 😂 I have mixed feelings about this being my last year 😅 I just hope I’ll know what I’m doing
Just found your channel + love the vibe 💛 Your editing is great!
Thank you so much ❤️
Took me a month to fully move in and a year later I was still adding things to my place
Thanks it really help to be aware of what things i should take into account
Great video! This is super useful, thanks!
Thank you for the support! So glad you found it helpful 😊
I recommend volunteering to housesit for friends and family before moving out, too. It likely won’t be as long term but it can help you get a feel for it.
Renters insurance is around $10 monthly. Worth considering
My fiance and I are going to move out with my best friend so this is really helpful for us!
This will be MY first time living alone so I'm new to all of this unlike my bsf and fiance
I knew these videos had to exist!
This video is so helpfully especially since i live in fl. I'm planning on moving out next year and this gave me some ideas on what i should save up for especially with the anxiety i have about moving and becoming an adult thank u sm :]
Of course! It can be really intimidating but once you start the process it gets easier! 😊
I’m looking at moving to FL!
@@abbyjoystudio hope you love it!
thanks for checklist
This was super helpful!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my god I'm so glad it's Florida too cause mannn is it expensive here
Yes soooo expensive!
Love this video! I am moving to FL this summer on my own, specifically the Orlando area. Any suggestions on neighborhoods or apartment complexes, etc.
Depends on budget, i would recommend moving in the outskirts of orlando
"wait and be frugal with spending money on decorations" little does she know im setting aside $1000 in my savings for the apartment just for decorations...... HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA
thats awesome! as long as its in your budget then decorate away 😊
I am going to be moving in to my own apartment soon. And I am a little anxious about it. Haven't lived on my own since I was in college out of state almost 10 years ago. Any advice on how I can make the Adjustment easier
I’m moving out in 2 months. I’ll be living with room mates I’m very excited but also terrified.
yea i need this
😊
I’m gonna get paid well for my first job, but I work in LA. Really debating on living closer, but everything is 2-3x the price 😅
Renters insurance I was surprised was very inexpensive. It was only $8. That’s for a 1 bedroom in Wisconsin.
I watch in December 2023 and now life in Florida becomes horrible! I’m moving out after 20 years being Floridian. The estimate she mentions in the video now is Three times that!!!
I love the video but I feel like nobody is actually making videos about living ALONE. like alone alone. not splitting the bills with anyone
Any advice on stop eating out cause my grocery column would be my fast food column 😢😂
My plan is to finish college and stay home so I save money. After I graduate and get a job with my degree/certificate I’ll start touring and actively looking. I’m lucky my dad was in the military so the first 2 years of college is paid as well as the first 6-12 months of rent.
i have a question i know i ammoving in 2 ears but wanna get ready so how does grogercy lists work that sounds ssooooooo stressfull to me
Also, use trash bags when moving if you dont have money for boxes
I have to move out when I'm 16🥲 and my dream high-school is 4 hours away... goodbye childhood
im moving out of state and cant see the apartment in person. what should i do ?
Looking at multiple sites where people can leave reviews (Google Reviews, Apartments.com, ApartmentsGuide.com, etc) because it gives you multiple perspectives and a lot of the time you can see photos previous/current residents have shared which can be super helpful. Also if you know someone who lives in the area you are going to move to and they can check it out and get some questions answered that you have that would be great too!
I decided to sublease, so I’m not stuck for months on end.
And it gives me an opportunity to view the apartments in person when I move and am subleasing in the same area.
Then when I find one I like I can sign a longer term lease with comfort.
Girl you better do the trip and see the bloody apartment in person or you're gonna regret it, I'm telling you
Pays $1,000+ for appartment, goes to Goodwill because wants to save money on plates and cups.🤪😛🧐
Or even better a lot of people give them away for free as long as you pick them up. On OFFERUP just go on the free tab
Go to dollar tree for dishes!!
Yes! Thats also a great place for cheap dishware
Yes!! ☺
Duh? Apartments don't come cheap
what would be a good amount to have saved up before moving out?
Honestly for me I felt comfortable having at least 2 months of rent saved up in case of any emergencies 😊
@@NataliaRaquel would a job as a student help me to save up rent?
thank you!!!
Atleast $10,000! You will blow through a couple thousands quick from furniture and essentials alone
@@iammichaelamonique girl what💀 where do you live
@@jadafriday8605 that's reasonable! Moving is expensive and you will certainly spend a thousand on moving in alone. Not to mention buying cleaning supplies, curtains, maybe a microwave if it doesn't come with the place, or a bed if you don't have one you can move. New couch, chairs, table, TV stand, TV if you want it, even just basics as I previously mentioned. She's being realistic. You're not
No vacation expenses 🤔
so if im a student and look for a job rn, would that help me with saving up rent for maybe 3-6 months- if thats even a decent amount
see i'm a student as well and even though I don't have my own place yet. I think its super important to have a job either part time or full time. Next semester I'm going to try to be working full time but don't stress yourself out if you're not able to work full time. Overall working in general just helps.
Don’t have a kid because it costs like $100,000 dollars from 0 to 18 years
Where do you live? Rent for 1k?? Im in orlando
📈📈
You technically didn’t move out on your own. You moved in with your bf.
yep, moving in alone is way more stressful
@@tonirak241 I hate videos like this, pointless.
@White There is a thing called white priviliege, it's a real thing
First of all I am not even white I am 100% hispanic, and second of all I consider any form of moving out and not being supported by anyone but your own financial means to be "moving out on your own". Yes it would be way more expensive to live completely on my own but that is why people get roommates, which splitting things with a significant other would be the same premise.
@@NataliaRaquel I wouldn't compare a 'roomate' as the same as moving in with a partner. I have to disagree. Moving out on your own [by yourself] is actually harder than having a partner to lean on. For example, furniture shopping where do you start? short on money and have to sacrifice between gas or lunch? oh well. The term on your own actually means on your own. No partner. No roommates. No mom or dad. I'm sure you did your fair share in contributing as a girlfriend but you did not handle the stress on your own darling.
not me being 12 watching this 😭
mind blown how there 60 on gas... no one seems to notice that
I'm lucky because Im get money when I graduate because of a tribe I'm in
So I just don't know what to do what do I do, do I get an apartment or save up to get a house
👍🏾👍🏾
Pet rent?? 😭
That's it, I'm gonna go on the first flight to Mars.
right 🤣
Thanks this is awesome! Also how did you get a boyfriend what (your gorgeous btw)@
Lmaoooo 60 for gas 💀
God damn living can be like this? 😂 my truck/insurance alone is $1300 a month and about $350 in gas a week.
60 for gas 1 time a month? Bs
400(maybe 800?) for a car? Jeez. I hope this Includes insurance.
unfortunately not :(
@@NataliaRaquel what the hell are you driving? A lambo?
@@surviver5738 I wish
We get f'd over in the car insurance part for being younger..
The place in mind is not modern LMAO
go baCK kitchen
You think you're big by saying that
I can’t believe I’m watching a woman who just showed off her damned insta at the beginning of the video… smh, losing faith in humanity
what’s wrong with that…? i feel like showing off an insta is such a non issue. there are definitely worse things she could’ve done for you to “lose faith in humanity” over
Yes, remain ignorant. This means you aren’t a solution to the overall problem, you are a part of it as a whole.
