Where do I even start?
I remember Demilade and I lived in our former apartment for one good year without even thinking of fixing up the living room. My first cat lived there. Lucky beast had the biggest room in the house all to herself.
Then I moved into a bigger apartment this year. Old house built in the 70βs or 80βs. So that means a lot of space, it also meant I had to do a shit ton of work on it (but it was totally worth it).
Now the blessing of a old house is that you have a really huge space, despite my chair and throw pillows the living room echos. So this blessing has a way of affecting your bank account a bit.
First off the floors were the old Terrazzo floors, so we had to rug the whole house (Omo, having a flatmate that matches your energy >>>>>), tears. That one fess knack us blow.
Painting was relatively cheap. I already have stuff I bought within the last two years, so the kitchen did not sink a hole in our acc.
Plumbing seems to be a reoccurring cost at the moment, and it ate 6-zeros from us before oh (excluding the rent). More tears.
Now old houses have big beautiful windows, I have decided to let the light in, all my neighbours have curtains so my logic is that they cannot see inside my house since they are so busy covering up theirs. They are also very rich people, how else do you explain their being able to afford curtains? That thing is approaching another 6-zeros FFS.
I am a traditional human, I believe meals should be eaten on the dining table. Omo na so carpenter knack my bill. π’π’π’ At this point my flatmate has told me that I am on my own πππ.
Turns out that a lot of people experience the blessing of having to fix up a house. Let us see their tweets π€§
Even my rich friend nor wan furnish e house.
This one cracked me up because nothing in the world prepares you for this:
Omo, the cost of things outside would make you a minimalist
I should try this out. Mum just might buy them for me:
Finally sha
Oh life tip, when you buy a fridge, also budget money for stabilizer , get surge protectors for all you electronic devices and invest in insurance.
Now I just remembered my friend who is moving to her own place this month and does not even have kitchen stuff yet. Shey we should not open GoFundMe for her like this? God be with you sis.
Omo just start saving money for house when you turn 18, so you can at least not break down crying π€§.
God go help me sha.
Lol, this is my first article of the year.
I remember shopping for my NYSC apartment, after they gave me price for curtain I jejely bought rod and went to the bedsheet guy and got more for curtain...
After reading this and the tweets, I am grateful to God, I've pots and cooking things, I have an armchair, I have a bed and a music player. I'm grateful.
