Last Friday I finally moved into my new apartment. The moving part of it sucked, as was expected. Wrestled a couch for a good 30 minutes before we got it into the living room. It's about a 15 minute walk to Dee Why Beach and 5 minute walk to the bus stops and supermarket. The Dee Why RSL is also only about a 5 minute stumble as well which is were we go occasionally to pre-drink before going out or have a couple or ten beers.
I opted for the smaller bedroom to keep my rent costs as low as possible. Going from $560/month to $930/month and $50K+ to $0 salary seems a bit ass-backwards but I also didn't have a 15 minute walk to the beach from my apartment in Orlando. You truly do get what you pay for. The place doesn't have A/C or heat and water is included in the rent price so I'll save some cash on that end.
I'm living like a minimalist bachelor now which is another change from my Ikea sponsored bedroom of the past. Bought a mattress, sheets, quilt, duvet cover, two pillows, some hangers, two towels, a laundry basket, a fan, and two freestanding racks for a grand total of $380. Deal. Luckily, I'm rooming with someone who already had the kitchen stuff and furniture for the lounge so there are some creature comforts at my disposable. My favourite part about this place is that we already have a little bar area stocked with some whiskey and a bunch of wine. Does that make me sound like an alcoholic? When in Rome...
And without any further ado, here's my new apartment!
