Used minimoves cause I was only taking two larger furniture pieces, a small family table, and a couple boxes. So the movers were only 2,300 (2,000 once they showed a week late)+ a couple hundred for tips on either end. Plane was 700~ cause I was flying a family member and my cat out with me and flying said family memeber home. First + security was 3000~. Got furniture from goodwill, ikea, and a used furniture store in Seattle totaling 1,400~.

Start up cost of getting all the like base ingredients for everything (love to cook and bake) was pretty high, feel like my first couple grocery bills were 100-150 but have leveled off to about 50-70. Plus getting misc things for my cat like scratching posts, cat trees, litter box, food, litter ect. Was probably like 200 all told? Got a massive cat tree off Craigslist for like 20 bucks.

Am I in the nicest apartment with the best furniture? No my apartment is a little small (1 bedroom though) and some of my furniture is a mismash of two pieces to create a piece that’s useful to me, but it works and I got out here! That’s all that really matters.

No, that’s why you’ve gotta save. Took me about 8k to move all told with security and first month, flights, shipping and buying furniture. To be fair though moving cross country had been my goal for a while.
