Rent is only the beginning. When I first started looking at apartments, I thought if I could afford the rent, I could afford to move out...I was wrong.

In this video, I'm breaking down the hidden costs of renting that nobody talks about, from security deposits and utilities to furnishing your apartment, building an emergency fund, and deciding whether renting or buying makes more sense.

This is the first episode of my the series, The Classes We Never Had: Adulting 101, where we cover the life skills many of us never learned growing up.

✨ In this video:
• Security deposits
• Utilities & internet
• Furniture costs
• Emergency funds
• Monthly living expenses
• Renting vs buying
• Building financial peace before moving out
