Making Changes/Moving Out

As I had mentioned in previous posts, I have gotten promoted. I finally sat down with my parents this evening to discuss me moving out and what options I have. I am in search of a studio apartment that isn't too far from where I live now. I'm not looking to commute to work. The less gas money, the better. I did some researching and with my expected pay (after taxes), it looks like I may be able to afford a place on my own. I never realized how much cheaper studios were compared to one bedroom apartments. I really don't need that much space. I also do not want a roommate. I am totally comfortable living on my own even if that means money will be tight.

My parents and I also discussed me getting my own phone plan. I am currently paying for my data and insurance on my phone each month (I also paid for my phone on my own) and I may switch to a different and much cheaper carrier. Virgin Mobile, I'm coming for you.

I keep dreaming of being able to hang things on my walls, find an old, Goodwill couch, and having so much more space to store all of my coffee mugs. It's going to be wonderful. 

Pinterest is helping me with potential home decor and DIY ideas.

I just can't wait to have my own place. It's going to take awhile and a lot of money, but I want to do this so badly. And if it doesn't work out, I got the okay from my parents to move back in when I can't afford rent. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday everyone. Home decor and design has always been a favorite thing of mine. In the last few years, I have become extremely interested. I feel like I spend more money at Cost Plus than I do at any other clothing store. I dream of the days I will have an entire house to use as a blank canvas for design. I've been online window shopping for my future house. Here's a little glimpse at what I find beautiful.

Side Note!

I apologize for my lack of posting lately. I have been swamped with work and I got sick (again). I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the food at my work. I may never eat there again. Throwing up is on my list of Least Favorite Things. So I'll spare my body the agony by depriving it of fish tacos. Nothing is fun about coming home late from work and spending your sleepless night with your head in the toilet. All I've done all day was sleep in until 2:30, take a bath, eat some toast, and watch horrible television. Sounds fun, right?

Well, I have one week off of work from one of my jobs next week (perks of working for a school). I am ready to have some real time off. Hello, Spring Break! 

And with that, I bid you adieu!

A home to call my own.

I am still living under the rent free roof of my parent's house, but a day doesn't go by where I don't think about moving out. I love my family and all that they have provided for me over the years, but I am ready to be out on my own. I am currently working two part time jobs and am in the process of looking for something full time. But until then, I shall daydream of the potential greatness of my future home.

I cannot wait to furnish my own place. I just need money first. I'll show you guys my crib sometime soon. I should probably clean before that happens. Enjoy your Tuesday, my pretties.
