    Yep. People underestimate how much money you can save by just… not buying new furniture. Thrift shops and hand me downs from elderly family members downsizing make up the overwhelming majority of the furniture in my house.

    Do I sometimes wish I could have a different style? Sure. Do I want it bad enough to spend hundreds of dollars on it? No.

    The only exceptions is stuff you rest on. Chairs, couches, beds. Don’t skimp on those or your body will hate you even more than usual.

      You’re off by at least one order of magnitude. I went to a furniture shop recently and shit’s expensive, yo.
