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.

bulge4lyfHow much does the 10K bonus actually translate into after tax?

Around 6k
