see if any family is trying to get rid of stuff when you get your first place. my aunt is always trying to give me her stuff, pots and pans, dishes, furniture. when i buy my own home i might be pickier about what goes in it since i will have the intention of staying there forever, but save your money while you can.

I would never buy furniture from anyone maybe pots and pans but never furniture

I started with a studio apartment. I had a bed, a desk, a lamp, a chair, 2 towels, dish set for four, 3 pots, 3 pans: sheet, rectangular, frying. Set of mixing bowls. It was simple with a small patio I could have some potted plants and entertain. I loved it. I suggest everyone have 3 knives: chefs, serated, utility.

I moved out when I had just turned 18, I’m 34 now. I didn’t get along with my stepdad (dug addict, alcoholic, abusive) and I told my mother to either choose him or us (her kids) . She left for 3 days and left us without food or money, so I BOUNCED! My mom and i spoke again 3 months later, but I was the happiest! Besides going vegan and pick up a bike, leaving a toxic home was the best thing I did. Great video, btw!

We purchased a wonderful couch from Ikea and it was about $1,000, which is a pretty penny for furniture, in our opinion. I know a lot of people say it's "beginner" furniture, but my husband and I have been married for 20 years and we are definitely not in the "beginner" stage. It's about what fits your budget and what you are comfortable with spending, no matter how much you can afford, on furniture. We purchased the Farlov and we do not regret it.

My husband and I purchased a few things from ikea as well and they have lasted nicely over 9 years. We move often and our ikea furniture is still going strong.

This is helping me with my moving anxiety. Furniture is so expensive! “Work with what you have” is what I’ve been telling myself.

I moved out at 16 trying to escape a rough upbringing, I have never moved back and I'm 34 now. I used my child hood as my drive to have a different life! Love your channel and that it's so real. 🤓

Love this! My oldest is getting ready to move out. I will share this with him. I was 20 when I first moved out. It was a good experience, $450 a month all utilities included, back in 1997. A cute little 1 bedroom with a balcony. 💜

Ended up happening any tips?

I moved out of home at 19. My older sister and I got the cutest little house to rent together and those 5 months were some of the funnest times of my life. I luckily didn’t have to buy many house hold thing because my sister already had most things.

I swear my fiancée used to HATE the decorative pillows we had on the bed. It was always a fight lol I gave in got rid of half and honestly it is better.

I made a list: couch (if you have the funds), bed, kitchen pans/pots, internet (personally), a tv/firestick, dollar tree sells kitchen utensils, plates, cups, and bowls..as said in the video... Much cheaper. As for washing your clothes, if you have friends or family members that don't mind, thats always an option. If not a 2 in 1 wash/dryer can be found on offerup. Everything else will come when as you grow. This includes more decor, tables, chairs, expensive kitchen appliances, drawers, new furniture. Take all the stuff from your parents house (your room) if you can. Just the basics can get you by.

I moved out early but for many years always had roommates and made sure to live in furnished apartments. Was able to save up in the meantime because of that until I eventually settled down in my own place. Definitely pick a pre-furnished apartment if you are not quite sure how many years you will stay in town, it will be a huge expense to have to move again so the more stuff you can cut down, the better.

I was 16 when I 'moved' out it wasn't by choice. Looking back, I had only necessities. Last year was when I finally at 24 bought a dining table. I've always just used bar stools.. I've never owned a coffee table and never felt like I needed one.

I am literally in love with your channel ^^ and ur lifestyle! Keep going and Success!

I was 18 when I first moved out cuz I wanted to live in the 'big city' My parents bought me a new bedroom set and a tv. They helped me alot. I only had really crappy and stressful job in a call centre for abt 4 yrs then I got a federal government job and now I'm making great money with a pension and benefits. I had fun during those yrs but have learned alot- I should have stayed living at home tho, I would have saved so much money!!!😒

When I lived with my boyfriend I paid 40 dollars for our couch. It's literally the best couch I've ever had and I'm so happy about my purchase

I moved out at 18 and loved my first place. Loving your videos!!

I was 22 when I moved out, out of town to go to college. I worked at Kmart through high school so I was able to stock up on a lot of basics for my first place since I got a discount. Not to age myself but I still use some of the things I got then today 20+ years later!

I’m 26 and finally moving out of my parents home! I’m super excited and ready to feel free and independent! Thank you for the tips and God bless

This is very useful Kyra, thank you. Big hug to you and Milo! 🤗🤗🤗💋💋💋💋

I was a month shy of 23 when I moved out fully (I had been living in dorms during college). I wish I had been minimalist then. That didn't happen until my first cross country move where I decided never again would I move with that much shit (the money I wasted 😫). I will say like others commented, see if family has stuff they don't need. Most of my furniture from my most recent move has been free from family. It wasn't pretty but I spent a little money for paint or another diy project to make it more cohesive. Great video and tips!

I moved out when I went to college at 18, i technically was supposed to be living in the dorm the entire first year but I was never there (at my bfs) and after about 4 months in the dorm, my bf and I got our own place (I had met him in college and moved in with him after knowing him only for 4 months LOL. It’s ok we’re still together 8 years later. But it was a pretty good experience, I left home and never looked back, never felt “homesick” or anything like that. I was too busy to feel homesick- I was in school full time and working full time for 5 years straight so yeah lol. And I’m with you on the towel thing- my family had so many towels for no reason.

cant wait for part 2!!!! I was 18 when I moved out

Great video idea. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I recently got my first apartment with my partner. It’s been a long time coming but I’m often reflective of how far I’ve come with saving, being minimalist and mindful with my purchases. I have you to thank because you opened my eyes to how wonderful and impactful this lifestyle choice is.

I was 20 when I moved out and into my first apartment and I had two female roommates. I definitely fell into the trap of buying too much stuff! I’m almost 28 now and have owned a house for two years after living in four apartments total :)

I moved out of my parents house at 26, and got our first home together! (My now husband and I) Thankfully my mother in law gave me her old sofa and we are not planning to repurchase a new one😂 I can totally relate to the comforter bed sets things. I have one and I wish I never got it because certain things from that bundle, we don’t use! Just some comforters do the trick 😛

That was helpful, thanks

I agree with some of this (the couch) but honestly some things that will be easy to move with me, I’m gonna invest in and get high (quality things, kitchen ware, towels, a bed set etc.) I definitely need more than two towels and 3 forks and spoons 😂

Please make a series on minimalist apartment essentials for each room/area!

You have the most amazing accent! Thanks for the tips🥰

looking forward to part 2😍

Great advice!

I moved out on bad terms. My mom was controlling and abusive. I also moved out not having a clue. Literally. I had zero confidence. I knew zero about anything. Then I ended up marrying a hoarder. An extreme hoarder. But I didn't know better, because I didn't know anything about stuff or the benefits of having less. Long story short, I ended up severely depressed because of all that stuff. I thought something was wrong with me - I didn't know stuff made a person depressed. I had to learn everything from scratch. I had no examples, no words of wisdom, no youtube videos to teach & encourage me (YT wasn't invented yet & Kyra wasn't born yet). It was a long time & a long process before I figured it all out. What I know now is priceless.

LOVE!!!!

I’m 18 and trying to move out asap due to mine and my boyfriend’s situation so these videos (even if they’re not the most recent) have helped so much!!

I was a senior in high school when I moved out. I’m the youngest of 3 sisters. My father commited suicide when I was 14 and my mother become an alcoholic. I had my first child when I was 19. Basically I had to grow up fast, but I’ve always been a responsible person. Even if it meant going to school and working 2 jobs I did what I had to to take care of my son and I. I’m thankful I had my grandmother to help babysit. She and my aunt gabe me so much to get started. Towels kitchen gadgets dishes decorations for holidays furniture etc. And you are exactly right. Not everything has to match or be Pinterest worthy. I now have 3 kids and I’m married. I’m 34 and we live in a small ranch style house that’s under 900 square feet. I’ve been watching you for years and I love your content. It is so relatable for me ❤️❤️

Love the first part of the new series! 🧺 I was 19 years old when I moved out the first time. I moved back home 3 years later and moved out again after 3 years being back at my mom’s. I‘m 28 years old now and still didn’t live alone once. I currently live in my second shared apartment with 2 other students. No perfect flat here. But like you said, it’s a process, a process of knowing thyself and what works and doesn’t work for you. ⚖️

Great tips! I’ve wasted so much money buying unnecessary items 🤦🏻‍♀️ over the years.

I moved out on my 18th birthday with my boyfriend at the time. Now husband. We slept on an air mattress for a while and then just accumulated stuff as time went on. It was a great experience because we leaned on each other when things sucked. Haha.

So agree with you on futures terms. Second hand for me all the way. But my bed is new.

Really helpful video! I'm going to write a list of things I need to buy for when I move out. Towels ...😂 same at my moms house, definitely wont be doing that when I move. I think my biggest investment for new place will be my bed and matress 🛌🏾💤😍

When I moved out the first time, I moved to another province and forgot to pack socks. 🤭 Now after living with others for the last 15 years, I'm moving out on my own again at the end of the month. It feels like moving out on my own for the first time, so I'm watching videos and taking notes.

I like these videos. I moved out at 23, one semester before graduating with my bachelor’s degree. I was on my own for only 6 months when I moved in with my now husband. 26 years and two kids later, we are still together.

Remember good will or used stores for silverware. I’m definitely past first apartment and I still have beginner couch. No it’s not going to last forever, but is IS lasting long enough for us.

Love the way you talk

I left at 20 moved with my husband and ha a baby at 21 and now I'm 33 and me and my husband still apply the same rule , I feel like when u live below your means you could accomplish so much more important things in life and it makes you feel so proud of how you grown. Thanks so much for this video it's is amazing tips especially teen or young adults trying to figure stuff out♡

I moved out on my own at 19yrs old. It was a good experience for me. Stayed in that place for 4yrs.

I move out at age 19 and it was the best decision I ever made.

IKEA has duvet sets that can be split in two for different warmth levels. I've had mine for about...a decade now? Really warm when I need it and less warm when I don't. I also have a weighted blanket for myself that is good year round because it helps reduce my anxiety, but not everyone needs that. If you can, there are brands that are certified B corps that offer high quality, non-toxic homewares. If within budget, I always suggest folks go for those. Such options were not available to me when I lived in my first apartment on my own but there are some very cute love seats that are sustainable. You can also get away with a couple of cosy chairs secondhand or thrifted. Just make sure you clean them! (Esp in California we have a bedbug problem fumigate that sucker)

I moved out at 15 and lived with my sister in another city. It was amazing 🤩🤩🤩. Years later, my sister is my neighbor now.

I never would think to tell my family or friends what they should buy or how they should live. Whatever makes you happy. 🌞 Hoarders do freak me out though!! 😂 I moved out at 19.

I was just 19 when I moved with my boyfriend (now husband) we borrowed many thing from our families until we were able to buy them, we had a lot of thing that didn't fit and didn't need.. we also bought lots of kitchen utensils and we didn't know how to cook so it was a waste of money at that time 😫 The basics for me are a bed (not funcy just comfortable), table and chairs, a fridge, a closet but most apartments have one and air conditioner if you live in a hot place.

I got married and moved out at 20, so I’ve never lived by myself. My husband and I took around five years to fully furnish our apartment because we didn’t want a bunch of random stuff taking up space. We did make a mistake and purchase one of those comforter sets from target though. 🤭 Nine years later and we only have the comforter left lol so I regret that purchase, but I do not regret getting married to my husband and moving out.

Yes about using the beach towels, lol. I thought I was the only one, lol.

Did you ever do a part 2? If not you should!

I was 23(legit the week of my 23rd birthday) when I moved out, I didn’t have much savings as I was kinda forced out by my dad and sister. I didn’t even have a job but started one the next day. All my furniture was secondhand from my dad and I got a free couch and cutlery was all secondhand. If I could turn back time I would have stayed with my dad for longer and ignored everyone attacking me to leave so I could have an emergency saving

I just love your accent 😍

Helpful video! I moved out this year at age 24, but not on my own. I moved in with my boyfriend. We were lucky enough to be passed down a couch, tv stand and tv, and two queen beds (one for us and one for his daughters when they are over. ) One thing I regret is buying all the little things that could have waited. We could have used my mason jars and mugs as bowls and such for food but I wanted to get a plate set. We want to be able to save for a new couch that's bigger and comfier, as well as new towels and a new comforter. The ones we have are just so old and smelly. One good way of finding furniture for free is to check by the dumpsters of apartments buildings. People leave all kinds of perfectly nice looking furniture all the time. As far as the one dollar silverware, I do not recommend those. We tried them and they had tiny metal shavings leftover on them even after going through the dishwasher. We decided they were not safe to eat with and had to throw them out. :/

Great tips! I moved out when I was 22 to live with my ex-husband. It worked out well for a while 🤣😂🤣

The summer between junior and senior year of college in 2013 was the first time I didn’t go home to my parent’s house and I’ve been out ever since. I rented a room in a house for $400 a month and it had no air. I was working two jobs so I was barely there, and I also got into a car accident that summer and had to pay the deductible. This was all pre Uber so I was paying taxis to get to my job and it was pricy! One night I was starving before my car was fixed, and I broke down and ordered grub hub even though money was very tight. This guy in a pick up truck pulled up with my food and said he didn’t have ranch dressing so he gave me Italian for my salad. I was so hungry I didn’t care. Thinking back it was quite sketchy lol Things have advanced so much since then!

I moved out from mom when I was 19 or 20. First doorms, then lived with uncle for 4 months, then shared house for a year, then shared appartment. After that started to rent my own place, it was perfect in many ways jet I couldnt afford it. Finally after that I moved to more afordable studio. Lived there for 2 years. Loved it. Small, cute. Now I moved in with my bf. Super affordable but I dont like it here. Hepefully soon will move out to travel or purchase our own.

I was 18 when I moved out lol. Not ideal but similar to what you have said I also had a very nightmareish childhood. I wanted out and I had to learn how to manage money quickly. I don’t recommend people moving out that young if they’re in a healthy environment.
