Furnishing your first apartment is dumb expensive

Transcript

Furnishing your first apartment is dumb expensive. Being in college made me not know how expensive it is to furnish a crib. Because obviously they give you the bed, they give you the desk, they give you the dresser, they give you everything. I just got my first apartment, bro. Just give me the air mattress. Just give me the air mattress. Give me one chair. Give me my TV and I'll be good. Cause it's dumb expensive. A couch, you want a good couch. You're paying like crazy bread, bro. It's going for like a band. If you want a nice couch, you got to get your bed frame, you got to get your mattress, you got to get your dresser, what am I missing? All the TV stand, your dining tables, your dining chairs, everything. It's mad bread.
