Around how much would it cost to move into my first apartment?

[chaos]

I've allready calculated a few costs, but how much do you think all of this will cost -



1. Bathroom things. (Towels, toilet paper, tooth brush holder, etc.)

2. Cleaning things. (Vaccum, spot Shot, mop, sponge, etc.)

3. Kitchen things. (Pots, pans, cups, plates, etc.)



It's only for 1 person btw.

Thank you for your estimate. (:

Bathroom Things: About $60-$75
Cleaning Things: $100-$150
Kitchen Things: $75-$150

Your first month rent, plus security deposit.
Probably deposits for each utility (gas, electric, phone)
Depends on where you buy the supplies you listed, but for a couple of hundred you can start with the basics.
Go to Goodwill or a thrift shop to buy second hand kitchen items if you are trying to save money.
You are ahead of the game because you are thinking of all those things.
Good luck!

Keep the list going. Look around where you are living now and list out everything you see that you will need for the new place. Look in the closets, drawers, cabinets, etc. and list. Don't forget things like curtains and blinds, trash can, trash bags, lamps, and everything you need ... and those things you just plain want. The big ticket items will be the furniture. Remember you can get alot of the stuff 2nd hand (thrift shops, donations from family, Craig's List, dumpsters) and also remember that you don't need everything all at once. Like with any goal, make sure to write things down and make them realistic.

You're worrying about the small details. You need to make a budget and list all of your real bills. Call around and get pricing for apartments. remember you usually have to put down a deposit. If an apartment is $600 per month, you need 600 extra for deposit. Then think of utilities, food, and any other expenses you have. You can borrow plates and cups, buy a cheap vacuum at wal-mart, buy used furniture. You probably need about $3000 to start out.
