Hell ye man, Thanksgiving 2018 I moved out to live alone. You get furniture slowly but it'll always be home to you.

Which road?
oprondek1978
The four corners area and Texas for almost 11 years. New place in Fernley, NV
justanotheravocado
Awesome. Been there, and it’s so great to be on your own two feet. You’ll get stuff. But you have you, and that’s better than stuff.
joysoystinkysauce
This! Best feeling in the world.
mypreferedusernamewastaken
Well done @op. There is something to be said about having your own space. I wish you all the best ?
oprondek1978
Thank you. It means a lot to me that everyone has reached out and been so kind.
mypreferedusernamewastaken
I used to own my own house, now I’m unemployed and staying at a friends house, so I totally understand.
ThisIsSuperSeriousGuys
You say not much but there are millions who would kill for that. Congratulations and enjoy your new beginning!
oprondek1978
Thank you.

I lost almost everything when my wife passed. Don’t judge yourself by society’s standards. One step at a time. You’re doing awesome!
THEcheesewire
Hell yeah bruv! I’m happy for you!
oprondek1978
I’m happy as well. Thank you.
FirenFlightMedic
Wayfair has some reasonably priced cabinets, shower curtains and throw pillows
cdub77
Cabinets from wayfair ? Aren’t they like $12,000 and come with an underage sex trafficked child?
FirenFlightMedic
I mean I imagine you can use it for maid service instead
Bodhidiver
Congrats!
oprondek1978
Thank you.

Sometimes, my friend, that is all you need to find happiness. Congratulations!

Found Grocery Oulet. Which is Nevadas Aldi
UranusSpelunker
The only thing I can see worth complaining about is the can of water on the floor. :)
UranusSpelunker
In all seriousness good for you. I hope it feels like home. My advice outfitting the kitchen- estate sales new stuff cheap & not haunted...
oprondek1978
My brother gave me a bunch of cast iron skillets and a Dutch oven. I’m good with cooking
oprondek1978
Ha ha. New place. Have to drink cheap.
vorpalblade82
My Dad always told me "4 walls and a roof, we're doing ok".
liloneperson
Yard/ garage sale are the best! You can haggle as much as you need
warreeve
Estate sales are great also
Yesisaidthat
And Craigslist And Facebook market place
ToreDavidsonHurt
I've gotten so much good stuff from Facebook for free it's insane
oprondek1978
I don’t do FB. This is my only social media outlet
Roguishpotato
EricAirheart
Amazing! Keep it up!
hat0791
Been there. But remember it's easy to become complacent about self care and your space when you haven't had one of your own for a long time
hat0791
Be sure to take steps towards improving your space and making it a place that's special to you, make it a home. Congrats and best of luck!
oprondek1978
I will. I have a kitchen I can cook in. I won’t take it for granted. Thank you
hat0791
Still making progress? Hope all is going well!
oprondek1978
I have everything I need now. Still loving it. Thank you!!!
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
It's YOUR shit OP and that's all it matters. Congrats
biggeera
this is a subtle way of calling OPs place shit, damn dude u r such an asshole
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
You missed an /s there or something pal?
biggeera
fuck you , you are a piece of shit
mattsmith42
Hey Bhageera how about fuck you? It's clearly you who are a piece of shit. It's an encouraging comment and anyway I read it as shit=stuff.
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
Okay... Weirdo. If your first reaction after reading my comment was "He is calling OPs place shit" then maybe you got some opinions.
iGotBanned5000
Start simple. Use OfferUp and become a hoarder like the rest of us.
SoftKleenex
Is that the new Craigslist?
iGotBanned5000
Better by far
oprondek1978
I’ve never checked offer up. I will. Thank you.
Yesisaidthat
Don't forget craigslist and FB market place
TheLateNightImgurTimes
Dude.... Clean that cooler
[deleted]
[deleted]
TheLateNightImgurTimes
Haha it's perfect!
thejinseng
Statistics indicate the dirtier the cooler, the fresher the drinks it holds.
oprondek1978
It’s been on the road for 5 years. I just moved in yesterday. I’ll clean it. Thank you.
TheLateNightImgurTimes
You will thank yourself ?
SoFloRoofer
Who cares, the carpet appears nice and vacuumed. Congrats on your new home.
Anddroid
Used furniture stores. Target has 6' plastic tables (folding legs) that are strong for $42. Folding chairs at Walmart for $10. Art at>
yeahiheardaboutpluto
Some days I miss my folding table desk. Could pile SO MUCH stuff on it and nothing ever damaged it.
SnossedAndLost
One of the big benefits of buying used/ cheap shit. Hardly worry about damage at all. It already got its life use, everything else is bonus.
Anddroid
places like Savers, Goodwill, etc short money to dress it up a little. Gets you started and feeling a little more comfortable.
madmatt2024
Don't forget about Habitat for Humanity. They have what they call "ReStores" where they sell donated items.
nolanurse
Clean place to sleep, roof over your head and a fan.... Winning.
CriticalJudgementalElitistPrick
Your own clean shitter is probably a highlight
oprondek1978
The fan is my favorite. Been living in motels. I forgot how wonderful a fan blowing while you sleep is.
IamHereForTheComments
Uh. phrasing?
oprondek1978
Archer??
illseeyouinanotherlifebrother
Congratulations OP! Become a dumpster diver like us. People throw out perfectly good stuff every day. Happy for you
spookyactionatadistance
Ya. Here everybody moves out on July 1st. The things I've found. Technics 12, Canton Speakers, iPhone 3g box with 150 ecstasy pills in it.
somewhatmexican
Do you want bedbugs? Because that’s how you get bedbugs.
Sanztrack
Haha, I found a brand new Keurig Elite at goodwill the other day, still had the tags on it and everything. $200 coffee maker for $10 XD
alldaydre
Don’t know how you Americans drink Keurig. It’s like sex in a canoe.
NothingButReactionGifs
I was gonna be a shit and say "Us?" But I totally salvage furniture.
ChewyChewbacca88
Yeah I won’t lie I got ALOT of my furniture in my first place from charity shops and FB marketplace.
pandra000
How do you know? My friend is throwing all her stuff cause she's got a mouldy apartment that makes her sick. How u know it's not unhealthy?
isamario
Go by University's during move out day. Soooooo much amazing crap in the trash. At least, there used to be...
mcpastalover
Especially dumpsters behind thrift stores. Growing up if there was stuff the store wouldn’t take my mom would pitch it in their trash
Foffett
90% of everything i own is dumpster dived or charity/op/thrift shopped
Slixxman69
I'd be careful cause well...bedbugs
madmatt2024
If it isn't upholstered then you really don't have to worry about bed bugs.
thisisneil
Yea I was gonna say it’s almost not even worth that risk. Those SUCK and are expensive to properly get rid of.
AstroHun
I got a whole goddamn baby this way.
ChewyChewbacca88
Prom night dumpster baby?
illseeyouinanotherlifebrother
angryannotations
I got a lot of furniture at my apt complex that way. In the process of moving now; saw someone reclaim a table I put out by the dumpsters.
pandra000
Yes... That how you get a mold and lice infected house lol. Purple throw shit cause it's nasty sometimes.
EekumBokumEekumBokum
Ahhhh..the circle of apt life continues
TheSiskoIsOfBajor
When I moved home from college, I put a lot good stuff next to the dumpster. I figured someone would eventually grab it.
AShartInTheWind
I've found 3 bikes around my complex since I moved in a few months ago. Fixed a few parts and sold them on FB.
SemiLucidUser
Me too! It's amazing how people just leave them in front of stores and houses.
AShartInTheWind
Nice, but mine were next to the dumpsters.
oprondek1978
The out pouring of support is why this is the only social media app I use. I’ll get stuff in time. Spent everything getting my new place. TY
CitizenPrime
Post a selfie and see how supportive this community is
xaviar3000
Why, because we don’t care what you look like?
pineapplewalrus
I started out the same way. All my stuff us used or I found on the side of the road. It makes you appreciate things
Scruffy2
Craigslist FREE section is a goldmine for surprisingly decent stuff
WorkAndSleep951978
Same here.
NiftyGoblin
go by the rich area of town before pick up day, you can find nice practically new furniture, just avoid cushioned/fabric stuff incase of>
NiftyGoblin
>bed bugs. But tables, dining chairs, dressers etc are good! Lot of times rich folk just throw it out because they want a new furniture set.
oprondek1978
Since people have been asking I created a amazon wish list. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/QFASITB1DP46?ref_=wl_share.
angrytaco
White folding table is like 40 bucks at Walmart and it makes a terrific computer desk, that's what I use. You could also check goodwill
Yesisaidthat
Just put everything into buying a house, I have zero furniture. Going to buy it all on craigslist and FB. Except mattresses never buy used.
Decoyape11
Hell yeah keep on.... truckin? Good for you dude!!
DudeMcDude
Hey dude, this is going to be me soon, for very different reasons. Unintended furniture is the best furniture.
YuliqaMadiq
I remember when I first moved out my parents house. I loved like this. You should check out the free section on Craigslist.
Fairdinkums
I've been in the exact same place mate. Mortgages and bills come first, when you've got them in check add the little luxuries to your life.
TheRickestRickFromEarthDimensionC137
Just....just get some bleach for your cooler-stand. For your health, pls.
dunkledan
Walmart got cots for 70 if you get tired of blowin that up
zenabel
Are you on Facebook? Look if your area has a “Buy Nothing” group. Also check out Craigslist free stuff category!
oprondek1978
No. This is the only social media I have
RiskinItforBiscuits
You are an inspiration! Dumpster and curb side collection is often easy pickin's for good quality things. Keep celebrating the wins!
Yesisaidthat
Just hit up Craigslist or FB market place
Textuality
Stuff can come later. Having a place to call your own is what matters. :)

Easier to root for a stranger going through rough times than your racists high school classmates

Appreciate the sentiment. Thank you.

Keep an eye on Facebook free stuff.
fencer1964
Nextdoor is way better for local and free PS: Facebook sucks.
oprondek1978
This is the only social media I’m on
texasredheadguy
You want me to get you a microwave? Do you have cleaning supplies?
oprondek1978
That’s awesome for you to offer. I have a microwave (came with the place) cleaning supplies would be great. Message me.
jesserayross2
What’s the point of working on the road for so long if you have nothing to show for it?
oprondek1978
My daughter has never struggled. That’s the point. I sacrifice, so she has everything I never had. The point was of all parents. Give all.
jesserayross2
That’s cool, I’m a dad also and never wanted to get to involved in work for fear of missing out. I’m not rich though so I get what you say.
n0peimsuperman
I spent $900 on my first mattress set and it had to be replaced within 6 years, I got one of those memory foam ones from amazon and 1/2
n0peimsuperman
A cool metal frame from amazon for 1/3 the price and it’s so much more comfortable. Sometimes cheaper is better. Good luck and congrats!
madmatt2024
I did the same thing. A twin was under $200 shipped. The only downside is they are heavy and have no handles.
TheOneAndOnlySomething
I find the memory foam mattresses do well on a carpeted floor. Solid even support for a soft mattress works very well
BL4UPUNKT
Care for something timber? I like to make things for fun, let me know -aussie here.
oprondek1978
That would be awesome. I build squirrel and bird houses. You can see the squirrel house on my feed. Let me know what u have in mind
BL4UPUNKT
I'll be honest, I'm not very creative with ideas, I can make things once I have a prompt, but I have no idea what you have or need/want.
oprondek1978
A place to hang my keys and put mail when I walk in the door would be fantastic
BL4UPUNKT
I got the perfect thing in mind, pm me for PO box.

You should make an amazon wishlist so you get more of what you need and fewer duplicates. Maybe add towels blanket dishes cups cutlery etc
