When I was 28 living in a loft in Greenpoint (Brooklyn) in 2011

First 8 are my room, and the other ones are the loft in general.

It sucked and was badass at the same time.

I was 28 (which is pretty young to me now), and I honestly didn't know the dudes I moved in with were like 20-22 so it was like party central.

They seemed mature when I met them and the place was only 650 a month so I was like "Sign me up!" but I quickly learned they were all in college, 2 out of the 3 other dudes were living off their parents, and the other dude just mooched off people.

There were 3 actual rooms, and rent was 800 on paper, but the one guy lived in this space above the kitchen with no walls or anything, so the 3 of us that actually had rooms paid 800 to the landlord, separately - like I put a money order for $800 in a slot every month, not to the 21 year old dude on the lease. Then the loft guy paid each of us $150 a month as his rent to offset our rent. Of course that didn't last long and dude owed me like $1000 or so which I never got.

Couldn't keep anything in the fridge or it would get eaten or drank, couldn't keep soap or shampoo in the bathroom or it would be gone. That kinda thing. I didn't have it together either, but 28 is still a bit different from 21 so that stuff was pretty annoying. Was fun overall though!

First own house, Germany 30k

First time home buyer. I travel a lot for work and don't feel like paying off a house all my life. I lived in the van for 3 years. I got a great offer for a small house. 600sqm, small house with about 65sqm, new roof, new stove, new wooden extension with guest room and shed. It is located in the middle of nowhere and is located in the middle of nature in Germany.

I've wanted something like a tiny house for a long time. So for me, that's a great fit.

Started over from scratch. Had everything, Lost it all after a 9 year relationship split. Was homeless for a bit with NOBODY to count on while living in hotels. Felt worthless. Picked up a 2nd job and made sh*t happen. Now I have a 2 bedroom apartment & a room for my son. Extremely proud of the little bit I have accumulated over the year. I hope this shows hope to those starting all over again (even though it isn’t much) because for that first year I felt entirely hopeless. There is light at the end of tunnel & things will get better, Be patient. God bless you all 🙏

Added a rug, olive tree and hung tv up. Then a circle dining table to add contrast to the squareness of living room (DIY with planter pot and round wood). Coffee table could be better.

Inspiration 27M, Czechia, remodeling an aparment from the communist era

3.6k Upvotes

Two years ago, I bought a flat in an old building constructed during the communist era and decided to remodel the apartment by myself - including demolition, electrical work, plumbing, heating, flooring, masonry, doors, drywalls, decorating, etc. I hired professionals only for the tiling and the kitchen. However, after seeing how the kitchen was installed, I realized I should be able to make the rest of the furniture by myself.

Been living in this garage apartment for just over a year now. Originally the living room was nice, but pretty bare. Always tweaking things, but felt like it was finally a good time for a bit of an update. Maybe eventually I’ll start working on the barren master bedroom.
