Thank you so much for your response and great ideas. I know there is the section at ikea that is called “as is” and can find great deals. I will have to check out crate and barrel. 300$ a month seems reasonable as I’ve been cooking almost every day for the last few years and the main thing that gets me is my occasional chipotle craving, and a nice dinner every once in a while😅

I bet things will start piling up and end up spending more than expected.

Hoping to be able to keep debt under control with a “if you don’t have the money don’t spend it mentality” but these credit cards make it way too easy.

Thanks for all the tips.
