Luxurious living on a college student budget

So I don’t know about you, but I like to think that having an apartment makes me an official grown-up now, and, as an official grown-up, I strive to impress people with my material aesthetic and surround myself with nice things. Unlike my idealized ultra-chic cosmopolitan conceptualized adult, however, I have a serious budget issue.
While I would love to live in the home department of the Anthropologie store, I am stuck with thrift stores, garage sales, online exchanges (shout out to MacThrift!) and Target in reality. If you are like me, the stereotype of a frugal liberal arts college, here are some tips for how to swankify your place and create the illusion of having your oh-so-grown-up life together. If your parents, employer, Jim Hoppe or Taylor Swift happen to prance into your place, you will be armed and ready!

    Based on my observation, after a foreclosed home is available at an auction, it is common for the borrower to be able to still have the remaining balance on the personal loan. There are many lenders who try to have all service fees and liens paid off by the subsequent buyer. On the other hand, depending on certain programs, regulations, and state guidelines there may be several loans which aren’t easily settled through the transfer of lending options. Therefore, the responsibility still lies on the customer that has received his or her property in foreclosure process. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this blog site.
