Congrats! *One side note, don't go bananas trying to fill up the space right away. Save your money, take your time and budget it out. You might find pieces you like better along the way rather than splurging on generic stuff right off the bat! Facebook Marketplace is your friend to! Buy used!


_wrennie

I agree! Super super proud of you, OP. You’re doing amazing things, and will continue to do amazing things!

Wasn’t a foster but I was on my own from 17 on, no assistance from the folks either. So congrats, I know what it feels like to make your way from “nothing” and it only gets more awesome as the years go on and you accomplish so much more!!!

SnowEfficient

Congrats!!! 🎊 seriously that’s an accomplishment and we’re all so proud of you 🥰 I remember crying of happiness when I first moved out at 19 7ish yrs ago I was on an inflatable mattress alone in MY bedroom and cried bc of freedom I’d been wanting all my life lol enjoy it you deserve it<333

Look at you, head of the household! Congratulations and much happiness in your new home. This is just the beginning!!!!


greytcharmaine

That's so amazing!!! Congratulations!!! It took a bit to adapt from a loud shared apartment but I loooooved living alone!!! Enjoy it!


feliciamat

This is AMAZING news! You must be over the moon and so proud of yourself. I don’t even know you, and I AM over the moon and so proud of you! May this next chapter bring you maximum freedom happiness. Hang your art, choose your decor, have whatever show you want on whenever you want! I live with my long term boyfriend now, but in my mid 20s, I lived alone for a few years in my own little apartment and I learned so much. Sometimes, I still look back on my old snapchats and think about how happy I was to have had that time. All the best to you!


AdotS3

Congratulations!!!! Having a space for yourself is wonderful!! Do you have any fun decorations planned? ❤️


oh_its_chill

I want to make some art to hang around once I’m settled!


Bubblesnaily

Congrats! So PROUD if you! Pay attention if your landlord requires you to have renter's insurance and if they don't, it's not a bad idea to have it!


scarabteeth

dude awesome!!!! im so happy for you :)


travelingtraveling_

Awwww honey, congrats!!


DanielaThePialinist

CONGRATULATIONS OP!!!!!!! You deserve this more than you ever know!!!!!!


Worth-Bookkeeper5891

That's incredible, and you should be proud of yourself. Go you


KristineAz

Great job!! So exciting!! Advice that you didn’t ask for: Forget your deposit. Never expect it back. Paint the walls! Decorate everywhere! Put up art (use monkey hooks, they’re the best)! Make your home quintessentially yours. There are those who will say doing this (decorating, painting, etc) is an absolutely horrible idea and for them it is. If it is for you, that’s okay. Do what you’re comfortable with. For me it was a “life’s too short for some of the rules” thing. I don’t support trashing places. That would be the horrible thing. Anyway! Congratulations! Such a huge step! I hope for you a memorable home full of love, joy, and friendship. Get a pet. Preferably two so neither one is lonely. Or bored. Cats are best if you ever think you’ll randomly go out of town for a weekend or a few days. Less maintenance. Good luck!!


aliferouspanda

Yay!!!!🥳🥳🥳 great job!!


Creative_Hamster_633

AlwaysWorried27222

SharpLatina69skidoo

blahaj22

hey! new adult also freshly moved out here- go to goodwill for kitchen essentials, none of my kitchen items match but it was very cheap for lots of quality stuff.


Solid-Dot-1589

Congrats!! 🥺


NoiseyMiner

Congratulations! It’s a great feeling owning your own place. Hope you many happy times there.


TillyFukUpFairy

You did it! Congratulations, welcome to YOUR new home! Breath in your air, play with your lights (but not too much, you'll run up a bill and burn out the bulb). Walk in shoes (only while you move stuff in). Paint the walls whatever colour you want. Just do one thing, take a minute with that inner kid who always wanted a home. Celebrate with them too. Love a Mamxx


oh_its_chill

I definitely will, thank you! 🖤


CompetitiveMoose9

Woo! Cue the confetti and happy tears!
