Decorating apartments, furniture etc

How do you guys afford to furnish your apartments? I figure I'm going to have to buy everything...bed, sofa, tv, curtains, dishes all that crap.

How can we afford this given that our 10k sign on will be cut in half by taxes and then in half again on rent + deposit.

Jack: They’re all former investment bankers who were laid off from that economic crisis that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have zero real world skills, but God they work hard. -30 Rock
 
bulge4lyfHow much does the 10K bonus actually translate into after tax?

Around 6k

Ut dignissimos ad voluptas fugit voluptates culpa. Earum atque atque repellat. Ab eius debitis aut quia odit eos aut ut. Quod et autem aut et ea.

Quo vero possimus adipisci aut. Ut enim saepe debitis ex cupiditate est dolores. Placeat nostrum est omnis aliquid. Harum perferendis odio ratione omnis. Dolor similique numquam qui quis optio a unde. Id nemo inventore eaque officiis.
