Last month, I decided to move out of my parents' place and start living on my own.
I searched in the newspaper for apartment listings and found a place not too far from my work.
The landlord showed me around the apartment, and because it suited my needs, I signed the rental agreement and paid a deposit,
some of which I might get back when I move out.
The apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and kitchen.
It also has a small utility room where I keep my washer and dryer.
Right before I moved in, the landlord put in new carpet and had the walls painted, so it looks like a new place.
The rent is $650 a month, not including utilities. I pay about $100 for gas, electricity, water, sewage, and Internet service.
Unfortunately, the apartment complex doesn't allow pets, so my dog has to stay with my parents for now.
I might get a roommate at some point to share expenses, but I haven't decided on that yet.
The place looks a little empty because it isn't furnished, but for the time being, I only have the basics: a bed, a table, a small sofa in the living room, and a TV.
It's not as liveable and cozy as my parents' place, but it will have to do for now.
