Moving to a new place on a tight budget requires strategic planning. Here are some tips to help you settle in without overspending:

  1. Prioritise essentials: Focus on buying necessary items first, such as a bed, basic kitchenware, and essential appliances. Non-essential items can be added over time as your budget allows.
  2. Embrace DIY projects: Do simple home improvement tasks yourself to save on labour costs. Good preparations and acquiring the right skills can make DIY projects manageable and cost-effective.
  3. Utilise second-hand resources: Explore second-hand stores, and online marketplaces for affordable furniture and decor.
  4. Budget for future expenses: Create a financial plan that includes upcoming costs like utilities, maintenance, and potential upgrades.
  5. Start small: Begin with a minimalist approach, adding items as you identify specific needs.
