bedroom sets under 700 image
lovemybaby
I'd like a queen panel bed (no need for a boxspring), a new queen mattress and a matching dresser. I'm trying to stay under $700. Any suggestions on how to stay within budget? I dont think I'll find what I want at a garage sale, and things like Craigs List dont have much in my area.
Answer
Well, getting all that for that price isn't going to be easy... Your best bet is WalMart or KMart. Other than that, I suggest you look at classified sections in your neighborhood. You could even find a notary public who could tell you where to look for estate sales. Sometimes, you can pick up a really nice bedroom set for peanuts, meaning you can spend a bit more on a quality mattress... as I wouldn't buy the mattress used. And if worse comes to worst, then you can get yourself a mattress at WalMart. They have some pretty neat ones that come in a rolling box and have a memory foam top.

Remember Jerry Seinfeld's apartment set on Seinfeld. How big is that compared to real apartments in Manhattan?

People say affordable apartments in Manhattan are small. I'm just curious how they compare to the Seinfeld apartment seen on the show.
Answer
There are two things you have to consider:
1) Seinfeld was fantasy, nobody wants to watch a TV show set in 600 sqft studio apartment over a Chinese restaurant. His "apartment" was a decent size for Manhattan.
2) Seinfeld was filmed in the early 90s, back then, rent was far less than what it is today. His apartment in the 90s might have gone for $1,800 or so.
Today, that same apartment, a one bedroom, elevator building, intercom system, would probably start at $2,700âand that's if you're lucky.
My apartment is in the Upper West Side, 2,200 sqft, two bedroom elevator, doorman, intercom, private terrace and private video surveillance, on-site gym, and it's $4,200 a month to give you an idea of running Manhattan rates.
Depending on what you're willing to sacrifice, which part of Manhattan you're willing to live, and how hard you look (I'll be honest, I didn't spend near as much time as I should have viewing and looking at apartments), you could find an apartment for much less. However, finding anything under $2,000 that isn't in the projects is a Godsend.
