On Who Didn't Have a George Foreman Grill?
The George Foreman grill is the shit. Really good for quick fish and chicken, and the only decent way to grill in an apartment. I made my mother promise to buy me one for my first apartment when I was still in college.

@Logan Sachon I would hope not? I didn't have a problem... I mean no ones really been sleeping on these beds. They're like tester beds, so I don't think that they hold much appeal to bugs. That is just me though. I was also way less paranoid about bed bugs than I am now...

@lalaland That's a good point. I bought my mattress/box springs and just put them on the floor till I could afford a bed (/really needed the underbed storage)

@deepomega I used to date a guy who opted for the "nest" approach. It did not last.

My bed was my splurge. I bought it when I first moved to New York and was spending a lot of time alone on Netflix, because that’s what unemployed yet-to-be popular people do. Hence, my bed was my home within my home. (You’ll be glad to know, I’m sure, that I did in fact get a life shortly thereafter) Go to Sleepy’s and see if they have a floor model mattress they’re willing to sell you for cheap, like $200/300 or so? This is what I did and it’s awesome. If you’re super on a budget, skip the box springs and go for those IKEA slats, but be warned that they suck. Seriously. They’ll break somehow in a year or two. IKEA has a wood bed for $50. If you get that one just make sure that the legs can’t slide around or it, too, will be broken within 3 years. I know this because it has happened to two of my friends. It will however see you through to (hopefully) more prosperous times… I got the cheapest metal one (like $200) they had and it is basically impossible to break and super easy to put up and take down.

On How to Stop Going into Credit Card Debt for the Sake of "Points"
I guess credit cards can do a number on your psychology if you're not paying attention. But I do want the rewards on my credit card. I could pay in cash if I needed to, but if I'm already going to spend the money, why not have the added benefit of rewards that add up until a free flight home? Make my purchases (that I had already planned on making!)benefit me somehow. What all the hoopla over credit cards comes down to is this: Plastic does not make you richer, so don't buy things that you weren't already going to get anyway (and have already budgeted for!). I've been saving up for a trip abroad for 2 years. I didn't buy the tickets in cash--even thought I had it. I bought it with the card and then used some of my savings to pay it off. The rewards I got from this (and from going through my credit card company to use Expedia) means I got 5x the rewards on it and now have a free hotel night to use sometime.
