Long-term SMART goal
S. rent an apartment
M. have my own apartment
A. put aside some money each month just for an apartment
R. the opportunity cost is putting money aside for the future is better than having no money to move out
T. I want to meet this goal in the next 3 years -
Step one
make a separate bank account just for money that I set aside for my apartment -
Step two
build a credit score to get a nice apartment -
Step three
have a good job with a set income to show the realtors that I have a steady income and prove I will be a good tenant. -
Step four
decide the place I will want to live in, also find a job in the same area that I would be renting my apartment -
Step five
apply for apartments in a safe neighborhood that I feel comfortable with and make sure the apartment has the necessary appliances for me.
