<prompt> Human: I want to get something nice that I can potentially use even when I move on into a house, etc. Any advice?I make about 38000year.  <response>: I would just set aside a small monthly amount and try to find good deals at estate sales and the like, since you want quality stuff that will transfer to a house. Unless you plan on staying at the same apartment for years and years, I wouldnt recommend going out and trying to outfit it all in one go from the same place. Just mix and match as you find the pieces you like at prices you can afford
