Lessons learned from trial and error

Well I have been in my place for a couple months now and the feeling that I am wandering around in someone else's house is starting to subside. After spending alot of money I have come to a few conclusions.
  • Rule numero uno: Always start at the dollar store. -if you decide not to then don't go there later or you'll be mad.
  • #2 Cragslist + A buddy with a truck + Patience= Extra money left over to spend at Forever21. I seriously don't know how I would have done without Craigs.
  • #3 If you don't need it right away don't buy it. Why? Because it will go on sale.
  • #4 Along those same lines don't buy something if you only kind of like it. Your going to be looking at it every day and eventually you'll probably get something else to replace it. So unless its free put it down.
  • #5 Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Tuesday Morning never cease to amaze me. However don't expect to find exactly what you went in there for.
  • #6 Overstock.com
  • #7 Ask around. If you need work done put the word out often someones brother in law magically knows how to install doggie doors.
  • #8 Don't rush it. You want your home to look like your own so collect stuff you really love over time. Besides you will always have something new :)
Thats all I have up till now. If you want to educate me with your own I'll certainly take the advise.
