yeah, if you want shitty stuff.
might as well buy it new so your not replacing furniture every few months.

ummmm no. You can still find really nice shit.

Buying new furniture for an apt when you're in college sounds really f*cking stupid.

I spend about $250/mo in groceries...but I eat out maybe once per month and most meals last 3 meals...meaning dinner tonight it also lunch and dinner tomorrow.

Ouch sounds rough. I'll take it you're a pretty slender guy? Unless you eat 5,000 calorie dinners...

gas 30 being generous

You will need renters insurance. Most renters will not let you sign the lease without a policy in hand. 200/ month per person for groceries will not buy living necessities, such as trash bags and other houshold items. I would hope you'll invest in air fresheners too, or else the house will smell like a sweaty gym sock pretty quickly. Laundry detergent is pretty darn expensive.

Rent: 800

Renters insurance: 160/year

Utilities: 120

Groceries, soap, household items: 475

Car Payment: 500

Car insurance: 315 (for 3 cars)

School loan: 100

Furniture for 1 bed apt.: 4,000 all at once

Cable, internet: Free provided by job

Cell phone: 160 (for 2 lines)

Total: $2370/month

Gotta do what you gotta do man; I plan on applying for it when I move out. Even if it's just $60/month, that's $60 I can put towards paying back my loans or car payment.
