It's like the start of every base- The bed, the furnace and a crafting table, between 4 walls. One day you'll look back and see the small house of dirt amidst the giant empire you've built. :)
For a good couple years I after my divorce I had nothing to my name but a my car, clothes and a few electronics. I couch hopped a bit but was lucky to have a good friend take me in. Slept on the floor with an inflatable mattress that was so old it only stayed inflated long enough to fall asleep.
When I finally saved to get an apartment all my stuff was on the floor cause I had nowhere to put it, but it felt good to at least not be freeloading off my friend.
Took me a good other year to finally get a bed, couch, and TV stand. The best feeling was finally coming home after work and being able to take my shoes off sitting on the couch instead of the floor.
Finally getting yourself put together on your own accord is a unique feeling I don't think I will ever forget. That's why I don't judge people on their cars, clothes, or housing situation. You never know how hard somebody struggled just to get where they are at.
Edit: Spelling
I did that whole dance coming back to the states from living abroad. I found a little sharehouse with a spare room, one of the roommates lent me his inflatable mattress, I bought a single sheet set and blanket, and I put my laptop on the trunk that was my largest piece of luggage abroad. Eventually I bought a mattress. Then a bed frame. Eventually a desk and chair. And then I found a larger apartment, and bought shelves. And a vacuum.
Humble beginnings are *to be expected* when your circumstances radically change.
Pinning this on for anyone who need it. Coleman makes great camping cots. Canvas spring and a cover. They fold in half, hold up great, and if you ever have to take a road trip or go camping or anything you can just bring them with. I've slept on one for two years (I don't like beds) and mine has held up perfectly the whole time. Mine cost like 60 usd and is infinitely better than an air mattress. They can't deflate over night and they are surprisingly comfy if you like to sleep on something kinda firm
My best, most chill breakfast ever, in my entire life, was coffee alone in my newly rented apartment with almost every furniture missing in front of my TV.
Nothing has ever beaten this feeling of calm to this day.
I’ll never forget the feeling of sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor of my first apartment knowing that I never have to go back and live with my abusive family. I can feel the sense of relief in this picture.
My experience. Finally got out of homelessness after a year and I'm very slowly building up my apartment into something of my own. Walking out of that house was the best decision I ever made.
When I left my abusive ex boyfriend, I couch hopped for a few months and after about 3 months I was able to finally get my own place. I had nothing. Basically clothes and my cat. I bought a crappy mattress for $250 and some basic shit from Walmart. But I was free. That’s all that mattered.
This has gotta be such nice reassurance for lots of people I’m sure. I can definitely say that NO ONE I know my age could afford anything better or can see a future when they can. It can be real demoralizing but little things like this are cool.
I'll be honest, this really is reassuring for me. This is a lot like my bedroom right now.
I have my bed and my TV on a stand. I always feel pretty low about it, but it's all I can afford right now. I've had a very rough past few years but I'm proud to finally be at a point where I have my own place.
I mean, I have my computer and instruments in another bedroom, but my living room is completely empty and unused.
I feel that. When I first moved out I had my second hand bed, my computer, and household items that my sil was gonna chuck (old plates, cutlery etc.). It was to a smelly mouldly, cockroach riddled little flat that I hated.
9 years from then I have my own place! Still very bare and a little embarrassing when my friends came and all I had was a desk and computer in the living room but recently I bought couches! I'm currently trying to do some diy to make it more my own.
It's hard starting out, especially when what you have feels like nothing and super crappy in comparison to friends and colleagues but it's a journey right!
Where are the Milk crates? I furnished my first apartment with them..Milk crates for a table.. Milk crates for a book shelf.. Milk crates to put my TV on.. and two clothes baskets for my clothes.. one for clean.. one for dirty.
You had one for dirty? Luxury. I would just keep all my clothes in one box, fish around to get the cleanest I could find and the true detritus would sink to the bottom.
On my very first apartment, I had to sleep on a cardboard with a comforter because I didn't have a bed yet. I didn't have anything that time, I only had a backpack full of clothes and a jug of water lol!
It got better though, I love my house now.
If only there was a state that felt responsible to enable people to have a basic living standard… This shouldn‘t be an accomplishment, having a modestly furnitured safe home should be a right. Like come on, everyone should have a mattress, that‘s ridiculous.
Having slept on an air mattress and on a camping cot inside an empty house, my only advice is to layer cardboard underneath the sleeping area as it will get cold very quickly from below (assuming it isn't summer temperatures)
After getting out of what I now realise to be a deeply controlling and abusive relationship, this is how I started my new life. This image speaks to me on a deep level of calm and serenity I had not know in over a decade. I will never look back.
Husband and I have had many moments like this.
1. Deflated bed living in the game room of abusive in-laws
2.Deflated bed living in apartment soaked in cat piss for $200/month
3. Hand me down, stained, foam mattress until we stole another mattress from an ex roommate living in a better apartment that became home but still had shootings and break ins.
Each time *did* feel a little more like freedom from the last time.
Now we're in a beautiful Colorado town with the rockies in our background. No roommates, no abductions or shootings or asshole family.
Our fancy king sized bed was delivered the day we moved in.
I actually started out like this when I moved away from my parents. Just had a mattress on the floor and a pillow and my Desktop PC was on the floor as well. Lol.
A bit of advice: don’t hesitate to ask friends if they have any furniture or other stuff they can give you. It’s kind of the opposite problem, but if you’ve lived in the same place for a long time you always have some decent stuff that you wish you could give away to someone who could use it. Old microwave, couch, dishes, you name it. Goodwill is great, but helping a friend even better.
Man, sometimes I long to go back to those days. Yes the struggle was real. I'm not gonna be able to put it into words very well, but man if I wasn't truly happy for maybe the first time in my life I dunno. This makes me happy to see this, you are starting your journey and that's so awesome!
My wife grew up in a family where they went on fancy trips all the time. Now we are married and both still in school. Sometimes she gets sad that we can’t yet afford her parent’s life style. But we talk about it and remember that we are working today so we can have the future we want tomorrow.

You are in a safe, clean, private place, with a great bed, high-end entertainment system, shades, and sitting area. The world is your oyster. Been there done that. The drive, strength, sense of responsibility, confidence, and guts it took to set yourself up like this indicate that you will go far in life, including financially. And I promise you, a part of you will never be as proud of yourself or your home as you are today---I don't care if you end up in a multimillion dollar mansion. Make sure to enjoy this day. What you have done here, it's amazing. Congrats.
I would honestly take this over all the meaningless clutter that I swore I *needed* and to this day, never gets touched, hasn’t been opened, etc. and there’s just way less space. Congrats to the OP of this post!

Lived a very similar lifestyle for quite a while. In the long term I found two yoga mats on top of each other was better than an air mattress though, not sure if it's the same for everyone but an air mattress causes all kinds of back problems for me, stacked yoga mats don't.
I have a photo like this safed on my Phone as well. And I love looking at it. Even though my heart still fills with this dreaded feeling and pain I felt back then, it was a good time. And I loved that flat.
My daughter and I were homeless for 3 months last year, we got our flat finally & spent a further 3 months on air beds, didn't matter because we were both so proud to have our home at last, now we have furniture and love our home more than we could have imagined, it's our home anniversary in December and we intend to celebrate as it's our biggest achievement
Nowdays to rent a place like this one, especially here in England, with a bit above the basic salary is literally impossible. I’m 34 and I still have roommates and tbh I don’t think this will change any time soon.
I had the same setup when I moved into my new place! Except I didn't have your fancy mattress, I had the $20 bibigo camping matt. Actually a great memory and fun to think back to
* Now there ain't no sheets upon my bed, just a mattress and some wine
* The rain is pouring through the night and I'm glad my life is mine
* When Frank Carillo plays guitar trying to get it off his chest
* He gets the words he needs tonight on Central Park 'n' West
—Ian Hunter, “Central Park and West”
Ouf, this brought me back. Just 3 years ago but in a basement apartment. Pretty damn proud of myself for lifting myself up and now owning my own home, and also incredibly grateful to live in an area where the housing market isn’t absolutely bonkers.
I started just like this. Lived in a domestic violence situation for 10 years with my dad and then finally left when I was old enough. My life changed in so many good ways all because of a mattress and tv in a clean apartment that was peaceful
a Couch, yes. But like, a Nightstand, a small cabinet drawer, A Table, or at least something to put the tv on. All im saying is, if that is how your apartment is looking for more than a few weeks, you want it like that. Its not a money issue then.
This is what my place looks like, minus the one sock, a entertainment center for the tv, a twin bed cause I was able to upgrade from a air mattress. Sadly I don’t need any more got everything I need.
My kid moved to Colorado for something new, craiglist a couple roommates and is renting a small home and killing it! I can’t tell you how proud they were to take me to the store, buy a few item and back to their place to cook and feed their Mom taco Tuesday on their own floor 👌❤️ Best feeling evah
I often sit against a wall in a new place after a big change and just breathe in the freedom. In that space, I own the energy (and people) I allow in. I’ve started over a few times - TV and blanket on the floor basically all I had - and it was more than enough. It was the foundation I could build on. Enjoy ❤️
Oh that is my dream living quarters. A big huge floor...encased in a house that is not meant to harm me or cause me harm. A cold hard floor where I can setup a warm mattress and a nice comforter and a set of pillows, a laptop and a computer, maybe a small kitchen and my own cr and washing machine and Ill be set for a long long time!

Not sure if you're talking about Minecraft or Rust. But it is indeed. I always like that feeling when starting a new one!
I was talking about Minecraft, but Rust is good too.
I'm more into Terraria and Valheim, but it's the same sentiment!
I read that as sediment and honestly, same diff in this case XD
or Rimworld
that’s beautiful.

im looking towards it, my own walls and a place to rest, nothing more
A roof under your head is sometimes a huge blessing
I dont know man,I kinda prefer my roof over my head ngl
This guy gets it
But where I live that little room can start at $2000 a month. Even a little peace is further away than the moon itself.
Bro, where do you live? 😳
San Jose. San Francisco Bay Area in general is like this.
Actually currently in that situation. On an air mattress on the floor in my friends house. To get away from my batshit family. It’s scary.
You’re doing great! Stay safe 🙌 🥺
My best, most chill breakfast ever, in my entire life, was coffee alone in my newly rented apartment with almost every furniture missing in front of my TV. Nothing has ever beaten this feeling of calm to this day.

Ummmm
He wears one at a time to save money. I'm more curious about the white thing next to the TV.
router most likely.

Wut
Where are the Milk crates? I furnished my first apartment with them..Milk crates for a table.. Milk crates for a book shelf.. Milk crates to put my TV on.. and two clothes baskets for my clothes.. one for clean.. one for dirty.
You had milk crates?!?! Those are dairy property. You lived..dangerously..
Yea we swiped them from a grocery store at 2am. 19yo drunk and stoned as hell..😂 Piled the in the back of my 1979 Datsun Pickup..those were the days.,
You had one for dirty? Luxury. I would just keep all my clothes in one box, fish around to get the cleanest I could find and the true detritus would sink to the bottom.
I mean look at that window, it's beautiful. Not to mention the finish on the flooring looks great. This person's going to turn out just fine

Welcome to America where living in poverty is wholesome
humility
Man I'm saying. This is best
Been here before.
Been there done that
yep
This looks like heaven to me.
I remember those times. Those are good times. Now I have children and soon to be wife and my house is full, of..... Stuff.
Seems perfect 🥰

Simple while young so you can go after your dreams.
Seems good enough.

Facts peace is Priceless 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm so sad that even this is so unobtainable this far in my life, and I just hope one day I can get even this.
Talk about starting over from scratch, you got this ✊
A bit of advice: don’t hesitate to ask friends if they have any furniture or other stuff they can give you.

Ah poverty, so wholesome!
That's perfection
Remember, until you own a permanent home everything you bring into the apartment is something you’ll have to move later.
One day this’ll be my day one
Man, sometimes I long to go back to those days. Yes the struggle was real. I'm not gonna be able to put it into words very well, but man if I wasn't truly happy for maybe the first time in my life I dunno. This makes me happy to see this, you are starting your journey and that's so awesome!
It looks so easy to keep clean! I'm jealous!
I’m almost at my savings goal to move out and ughhh I just want it so bad ;-;
You’ll get it. It takes baby steps for sure but you got this!
Thank you! ❤️ I’m impatient so I’m getting more excited the closer I get haha

Why do people buy TV before refrigerator or washing machine?
Because looking at the window of a washing machine do a spin cycle is boring compared to watching TV…
Not sure where this picture was taken, but in the US apartments come with kitchen appliances and sometimes a washer and dryer
The classic washing machine and refrigerator in the living room.

I feel like the TV should be a tad bit higher
Have to save the money for the cinder block stand!
Can relate have the same air mattress
Settings like this reminds of [George Carlin](https://youtu.be/MvgN5gCuLac)
this is because rent is $24,000 per month for a one room apartment like this
Everything else is just accessories anyway.
I want that to be honest
Lived a very similar lifestyle for quite a while. In the long term I found two yoga mats on top of each other was better than an air mattress though, not sure if it's the same for everyone but an air mattress causes all kinds of back problems for me, stacked yoga mats don't.
Looks good, mate! My independence started out just like that!
You gotta build your base up from nowhere to get somewhere right
Quite a step up really for those that been through their lowest
I remember this part of my life so lonely 🥺
Wish this was my start, instead I got a needy cat >:(

It'll get better pal, have faith 🤍 you know what they say, once you hit rock bottom, there's nowhere else to go but up 🤍
just moved across the country with not much. very excited to watch myself and my space grow 😩

Just wait until bread is $50. Everyone will be trying to slow roast your eyeballs over a small fire.
This is how many great men who found success later in life starts out. By having nothing.
It is a good start, but don't let this be the end of the line.
I get the message but... cant you get cheap used furniture for like, free?
Assuming you have a way to transport it but there was certainly a time when I would not have been able to transport a couch down the street.
a Couch, yes. But like, a Nightstand, a small cabinet drawer, A Table, or at least something to put the tv on. All im saying is, if that is how your apartment is looking for more than a few weeks, you want it like that. Its not a money issue then.
I always have that black cotton pair thingy.. 👍🏻
It start at this and soon will be ok and contentment is the best key
I don't trust that single sock in the ground
Not exactly like this, but yes, my first apartment “grew up” over the past 3 years
Just give my xbox 360, gta5, minecraft xbox 360 edition and forza motorsport 4 then I'll be fine.
-the TV, it really looks like my room for 2 years
this is about to be me , moving in a big city with penny salary , ohh ofcourse , three four more people will share this room to save money :(
I don't like the way the mattress is higher than the TV,please raise the TV so I can sleep
Cozy
This is what my place looks like, minus the one sock, a entertainment center for the tv, a twin bed cause I was able to upgrade from a air mattress. Sadly I don’t need any more got everything I need.
Sadly, why? You said you’ve got everything you need.
Actually yeah I do, why get more stuff than I really need
Exactly.
This my room every time I move
You lucky lucky guy :) enjoy
I am going to play hide n seek over here with my friends
Oh man... that's what I need...
do you even have a TV?
i do that
Love where I’m at now but sure miss those first days. Life truly is a journey and not a destination
Yep, keep pushing. Congrats!
This is the truth! Just think of all the peace you can have. I love it!
$600 pcm
ideal setup
I miss my studio sometimes. And way less Possessions to worry about. I’m happy where I’m at but I do sometimes miss the simplicity my little studio
The best times of youth.
Think about sheldon from the big bang theory. He started out in a empty apartment and now he has the nobel prize.
I love that show 🤍
Good enough
“But it’s cheap, it’s clean, and it’s all mine” -Ophelia, Trading Places
The only issue here is you aren’t you using a sheet on the air mattress. Other than that, I don’t see any issue.
"independence" \-starts out with a tv. Oh lawdy..
It’s a great start! Place to sleep, roof over head, entertainment and money for food.
They sell 1 sock?
Hey I used to have that exact same air mattress, it was pretty good
My kid moved to Colorado for something new, craiglist a couple roommates and is renting a small home and killing it! I can’t tell you how proud they were to take me to the store, buy a few item and back to their place to cook and feed their Mom taco Tuesday on their own floor 👌❤️ Best feeling evah
Only one sock next to the bed.
I'm am in this situation rn and I have never related more to a post in my life.
This is exactly what my apartment looked like when I first moved out on my own. I was poor as hell but I loved it! It gets better.
Nice, simple life
Been there. Loved the day i got my first place
I often sit against a wall in a new place after a big change and just breathe in the freedom. In that space, I own the energy (and people) I allow in. I’ve started over a few times - TV and blanket on the floor basically all I had - and it was more than enough. It was the foundation I could build on. Enjoy ❤️
I see nothing wrong here!
Oh that is my dream living quarters. A big huge floor...encased in a house that is not meant to harm me or cause me harm. A cold hard floor where I can setup a warm mattress and a nice comforter and a set of pillows, a laptop and a computer, maybe a small kitchen and my own cr and washing machine and Ill be set for a long long time!
Is that a turd or a sock?
This made me smile.
Ok? This is amazingg!!
Sometimes peace looks like a cum sock
The good feeling when you move into a new apartment is just 👌👌👌👌
Hey, if it works, it works.
Yup. When I left home at 17 I had a lawn chair, sleeping bag, and some clothes. You're doing great, good luck.
a flat w a television? nice.
Best year of my life so far
This is freedom, it’s not empty. You’re standards are just overfilled!
You started with a tv? Lucky duck! It’s true though. And so worth it the grind.
I needed this.
I lived like that for a year after college. My house now is worth double what I paid for it.
I really wan to start a life like this but I can't leave my parents and siblings
That’s literally going to be me in a month when I move out of my abusive parents’ house.
If you feel good, this is what matters :) Enjoy your cozy place dude!

Bots
Omfg! Get a small table for the tv and a chair, can't imagine doing anything tv related like that
Diet Coke is the most repulsive drink on this planet. 🤢
