$2000 is after taxes.
I don’t have a car. But yeah I’d have to start watching my spending. But it shouldn’t be hard. I think these apartments pay for electric but I’m not sure. I’d have to be frugal with water though.
I also have pretty much all my furnishings for an apartment except for bathroom stuff. Plus I’d probably have to get a small couch when I have company over. I have a lounge chair right now. I can get a good deal on a couch at my job. But right now I have a bedroom set and even a ton of kitchen stuff.
