Thanks anon!!! Good advice, definitely stuff I’ll keep in mind!!!!

Thanks!!! It’s especially difficult because I’m trying to do all of the work in advance - here’s the catch:

I live in Pennsylvania. My fiance lives in Virginia. We’re moving to Virginia. So I’m here in Pennsylvania trying to find solid apartment complexes and get information. Seriously, I have a notebook full of numbers and approximate costs and Wal-Marts (I work at Wal-Mart) close by with their store numbers and the distance from Blake’s workplace to the apartment complex, and gas prices and costs of Internet access and everything. It’s excessive. I’m planning way ahead. 

We’re moving the 31st of May-1st of June, so it’s coming up on us pretty soon and it’s becoming a problem. I’m heading down to Virginia on April 24th, 25th, and 26th, and I’m planning all of these apartment visits (I’m trying to get it narrowed down to four so when we go down there we can have just an entire day of visitation) for the 25th of April. I have one set up for 10am, one for noon, one for 2:30, and I’m looking for another one to put in at 4 or 5pm. I’m hoping hoping HOPING that the third apartment, the 2:30 visit, is THEEEE apartment for us. It’s great, the rent is reasonable based on our combined income, and there are some nice things about it including it’s close to the beach (not important but hey - that’s a nice extra, right?!). 

Soooo...I have to be completely prepared. See where the problems can arise? It’s really easy for something to fall through and it ends up failing and then we have to put off moving for another couple months til I can get back down to VA for some more apartment visits. I’m just trying to be prepared :(

Hello, friends! It's me, Momma Rhea. 

I've got a question for you guys, as well as other mods and just everyone in general:

I'm moving in with my fiance at the end of May! We're taking a huge step forward in our lives, and we're wondering if you have any tips for getting your first apartment, dealing with the extra bills, and still being able to save money! How did your first apartment renting go? What was your visit like? Did you have trouble getting a lease due to credit issues? How was the stress factor when it came to bills? Any coping methods?

Any information would be incredibly helpful! Feel free to reply to this post, submit a link or story, or shoot us an ask with your experiences!

Thanks! 

That's usually how stuff like that happens. Tinder isn't REALLY a "dating" app. It's more of a hookup app. I can't name a single person I know how has gone on a date from Tinder, but I can tell you probably 20 different friends who have hooked up based on Tinder matches. 

In 10 years it's gonna end up being "Oh, how did you guys meet?" - "She swiped right, I messaged, and, well...it was all history from there. *bats eyelashes*"

PLOT SUMMARY: A British multinational seeks to overthrow a vicious dictator in central Africa. It hires a band of (largely aged) mercenaries in London and sends them in to save the virtuous but imprisoned opposition leader who is also critically ill and due for execution. Just when the team has performed a perfect rescue, the multinational does a deal with the vicious dictator leaving the mercenary band to escape under their own steam and exact revenge.

Sounds like a good watch! Thanks, anon!

Aaaaa thanks babe!!!! Thank you so much!!! <333

Aw, anon! It's mostly true; we're not engaged just yet but planning on it mid-February when I take a trip to his state and stick around a few days. It's also true that he IS from the social justice scene and, although neither of us are really into the whole thing anymore, RSJ was how we met. :)
