Furniture Purchases

New apartment dwellers make the mistake of purchasing more than they need as quickly as possible. The next thing you know, you missed out on great opportunities and are stuck with three furniture pieces when one versatile piece was available. You become so mesmerized by the idea of being independent, and you're so proud of where you are that you don't consider the future. Your next apartment may not be so large. Parting with furniture is very difficult. Prevent that pain by getting only what you need in small quantities after you've thoroughly window shopped. IKEA is a great place to build your furniture collection, but only do it if you have self-control. Too many people go there with the overly generalized, misguided advice that everything is so affordable that overpurchases occur. When you're receiving advice and it's expressed as sound, make sure that it works well with your tendencies, desires, and goals.
