tip 11 don't live in cali
Man u speaking big facts 😞
😂😂😂😂 amongst the other tips this is number 1 I’ve learned
or colorado
Or the Seattle area lol
another tip that i plan to use when i move out/something i do a little bit now : dont be afraid to ask for money or necessities instead of fun gifts. instead of wasting people's money on things you wont use be straight up and say "oh my vacuum is broken id like a new one" or "id like a little bit of money to put into my savings/bank account" or even things like gas cards from a station near you
EmailNoLonger InUse absolutely agree!! I do this for christmas and my birthday and if I have someone who I know is uncomfortable just gifting money/gift cards/necessities then I ask for things that I have been wanting to buy to treat myself but that I know I'm not comfortable paying for myself
@@lavenderpinto1972 I do this a lot and my boyfriend gets pissed when he asks me what I want for birthdays or anniversaries 😂
I'm simple: My #1 thing is I don't wanna live with roaches. That, and I don't want thin walls. I don't need to hear what Mrs. Jones next door is doing. Other than those two things, anything goes.
Or hear the people upstairs moving around with their heavy ass feet
I’m nervous for adulthood because I’m going to be broke ahhaa
Adulthood isn't as glamorous as we always thought growing up that's for sure haha! But don't be nervous, just be smart and start saving when you can!!
The example prices are only for their area, in many areas such as in Missouri which is where I live rent is much more affordable at less than 1,000 a month. even renting a house could only be 500.

"Don't be like me Julie" wow ok personal note taken 😂
hahaha talkin' to YOU JULIE!! ;)
I’m 23 years old and I will be 24 in September. I’m looking forward to renting my first apartment and your tips have helped me so much. Great video, thanks ! 😊
Im 23 too! We just applied for a spot in Oakland, hope we get accepted!
I’ve moved around quite a bit myself and this was SO ON POINT. You hit literally every topic. Great video
Ah that makes me so happy!! Thank you!!
its currently 2AM and i move out in four years but I am binge watching these videos :')
Moving out is not easy and you did a great job of pointing out the important things people need to be aware of before taking this big step! :)
as a recent high school grad i just want to say how much i appreciate this video! wow i didn’t realize how many things could make the process easier, honestly the stress was horrible with such a short time frame. this is so great, thank you.
I just got a second job so I can start saving saving saving for when I graduate college in two years
Haha it’s been two years since you commented it, have you graduated? :)
Please do a video on budgeting money! Tips, what you do, etc. im out on my own for the first time away from family and its been a struggle haha
Morgan Greenwood get a budgeting app!! it really helps me
Separate your money into 4 different sections. Money for saving, money for spending, money for helping and money for family spending. Thats the way I've been taught but you can change those categories. You can decide the percentages as well depending on your income. For me its 50%,25%15% and 10%. But you can remove or add. It's important to be disciplined with yourself and follow those guidelines. Especially when you tell yourself you are allowed to spend less than you are actually allowed. Itll help save a lot

average coffee at 7eleven: $1.05
LOL I came across Apartment List and literally was explaining it to my boyfriend that it was like Tinder
HAHA isn't it the perfect way to describe it!? But like.. WAY BETTER amiright?!

Perfect timing for this video and your last apartment video! At the time of the first was I was preparing and researching and last weekend I toured my top couple apartments. Tomorrow, I am touring a specific unit in one I am really interested in and if all goes well I am turning in my application, putting down my deposit, and all the rest! Your insight has really helped me given this is my first time moving out on my own besides college. Thank you!
Aww yay you go girl! Keep me updated! Wishing you all the luck for locking down your dream apartment! :)
Wow! Caitlin Bae is good! 👍🏼
This is the FIRST moving out/apartment video that I watched (here on CZcams) that was extremely informative, covered mostly everything you need to know before moving into an apartment and was top notch!
Thanks Caitlin!
I started using Apartment List too in my apartment search! It is such a great tool, everyone should use it!
I'm moving into my first ever home on the 1st of Nov! I'm renting and got the keys today. This was so helpful thank you.
Hey Caitlin! You should definitely make a video about how you make money! Since I'm a CZcamsr as well, I think it's interesting what other people do to make their income outside of just ad revenue 🌟💛
I will definitely do that since it seems to be a topic a lot of you are interested in & not many talk about!!
Luckily, this will help for me because I'm planning to move to a new apartment real soon and I want to make sure I'm financially stable. Also, I want my new place to have a patio, a walk-in closet, and whatever it comes to it, a washer and dryer installed in the unit.
It will definitely be helpful to have a patio with storage and a washer and dryer in the unit is ideal. Although the downside is if you are sensitive to sound at night, depending on the kind of apartment building you're in, you could end up hearing everyone else's endlessly washing their clothes night and day as well. It's ultimately best to rent a house or townhouse end unit.
@@skywalker6648 No doubt about it. But the thing is as much as I would live in a townhouse nor a house, I don't think my budget would do so. Sure, I'm still want to lived in a better apartment, but I want to lived in a quiet apartment complex without hearing loud music and listening to people's conversations. Like I said, I'll just ignore everything and just pretend that I didn't hear anything. But at the end of the day, I'm still going to live in the much better place regardless. Of course, it would be nice to have a patio, a walk-in closet, and a washer and dryer installed in the unit. So just keep your fingers crossed that I'll be blessed with a new apartment.
Such an interesting video, as someone who is on the lookout for a new place! Some very helpful tips, thank you! And you look so good and healthy in this video! :)
This was actually so informative, thank you!!!!
Hi Caitlin 🤗 These tips were WONDERFUL!!!!!! Thank you 😀

Your hair looks SO amazing!
Aw thank you so much babe!! I'm loving it light!
Thank you for all the tips and info of everything about apt search.thank you again.and hope u keep doing great 👍
Thanks for this my friends and I are moving out there and we are using the first month to get all our things straight and look out there.
Woo that will be so fun!! Good luck on your move! :)
I'm trying to move to LA this summer for an internship so this was so helpful!!
wooo get it girl that will be so fun!!
the questions to ask was the best part
I️m in love with your hair, outfit, makeup and your videos 😍😍 thank you for the tips 💕
Ah thanks Ruby you're so sweet!! Glad you enjoyed it!
You are the sweetest, thank you Ruby! xx
This was so useful, thanks girl! 💖👍🏼
Your hair looks so good!!
Wow holy cow, I was watching this video and got distracted looking on the Apartment list website and then I heard her talking about it!
Loved this! I'm moving within my own city and already do lots of these - also recently discovered ApartmentList and I am OBBSESSED - but many were new helpful suggestions ty! :)
Aw glad I could give you some tips! But I agree, isn't ApartmentList SO GOOD!? And so addicting, haha!
It's the best!! :)
This is truly amazing and very informative thank you
Oh I needed this video!! Thanks for all the info!
Yay you're so welcome!! xx
omg you seriously look like Elena from Vampire Diaries! You are just so effortless beautiful and the advice is so spot on! New subbie!!!!
I freaking LOVED this video 🤗💕 soooo helpful
Thank you for this video girl. Thank you for making videos.
SO helpful omg thank you so much 😭🤗❤️
aww I'm so glad it helped you!!
I'm moving out in Nov/Jan, funny though, I'm moving to the same complex I grew up in 15 years ago lol. Shocking they are still in really good condition, their newer sister complex though.... not so much. It was the same price as the 1 bed 1 bath I was looking at, but I get 2 bed 2 bath. Plus it's within walking distance of work and the store. My mom laughed at my at first for looking at this stuff so far in advance(I really like to plan in advance, that way I can have things figured out) . Till she realized I was really going though with it, now she's all into it.
We have a full list and I'm slowly getting little things at a time. Our Walmart is doing a reset so I've gotten all most all my bathroom stuff for maybe $50 for both bathrooms. I thankfully also already have a lot of stuff from other family members. I kind of feel bad though, since I just repainted and put new floors in my bedroom back in April.
Lots of looking around online, calling around, going in asking for info.
Im really trying to move out so thank you for this
This video was seriously SO helpful! Thank you, Caitlin. Love you so much 💕
Aw I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! :)
these are such great tips! thanks for making this
Yay I'm so glad I can help! xx
I'm from Nebraska! The whole time you were talking about having to wait until only 2 to 3 weeks out to look, I was thinking about how it's totally not like that here so I was surprised to hear you say you looked for apts here!
Haha yeah, when moving out of the sorority house, me & 3 other friends toured a few places to see what would be the best fit for us!!
I love your hair color! It looks amazing on you!
Aw thanks so much! I'm loving being light this time of year, feels so refreshing!
That was so helpful! Please make a video about first apartment necessities!
Hi, love the video! I’m moving to Nashville in three weeks so this was very helpful! Also where is your shirt from? It’s so cute 😍
Ooh now fun!! It's from 4SI3NNA The Label! Good luck on your move :)
This was extremely helpful
Thanks for the useful & necessary tips.I saw a lovely & small 2 bedroom apt.,today.I did not get it.I'll keep looking.I like bathtub,also.I'm searching for a decent apt.,for me & my daughter.I brought some important paperwork,to show the agent.Keep up the good work.Folks check the pipes,water pressure,check to see if appliances work & see if there are holes,that mice can crawl through.
I'm moving out in 5 days on my own lol😭😭😭
TIP. If a Washer Dryer is a MUST (like me) if the apartment has a hookup RENT them. I rented mine for 40 a month.
It's cheaper if u buy it online used ur not just saving from paying 40$ a month. I wash every week w 10$. So it would make sense to rent one but ur adding up on ur utilities. My tip. Buy a dryer/washer invest in a new one or buy cheap good condition ones only
I graduated this past May and I’m moving into my new apt soon I’m so scared because I’ll be alone no roommate or anything
Holly K get a pet bb
how did it go lol
I’m 14,a freshman in Hs and I plan to move out to Texas or Arizona because I live in the northern part of the US and I feel like it’s too early but I look at apartments now and plan how much I’ll need to save before I move ,this video is exactly what I was looking for
Spongebob Squarepants I know you’re only 14. You need to save ideally $10,000 minimum to last you a good long while. I moved to Seattle from NM as a full fledged adult and it cost me $2000 for the moving truck, $300 in renter’s insurance, $200 for apartment deposit, and first month’s rent was prorated at like $1000, but monthly rent is $2500. Money goes fast and apartment rent is expensive in some parts of Phoenix. It’s a 100% guarantee that you won’t make enough at 18 to pay $1000 in rent every month. Don’t go to NM you’ll hate it. Bad roads and bad wages. I’m now downsizing to 150 square feet in Seattle metro because of rent. My new rent rates are $960/month. Thank fucking god.
okaminess thankyou ,i do plan on traveling a little bit exploring places and stuff before i choose where i want to move. your reply was helpful
This video was so helpful!
I'm so happy you thought so!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
This is so helpful! I am about to graduate and on the hunt for my first apartment :)
I live in Italy and I'm looking for an apt to go live by myself. I got rejected from a 400€ apt (the cheapest option) because I earn less than 1500€ per month. The average paycheck in my zone is 1200€/month
Cant wait to move out 😁💕
very helpful ! thank you
Thanks Fabulous!!
Your videos are really helpful
Hey lindsay... U need a cheap apartment nearby or far away?? Just contact +1 (845) 643-6737 on WhatsApp he will help u... Just like he helped me and my friends for affordable price.
You are so stunning Caitlin! Love your makeup in this video 😊💗 just wondering if youtube is your main job? Or do you have others? Would love to see a video some day about being self employed on CZcams!
Aw thank you Christina! What started as just CZcams has now evolved into various platforms for me to earn an income! I'd love to make a video about it + maybe a REAL day in my life, work style & such :)
thank you for sharing this. i'm not in the US, but this can be applied to anywhere in the world too. i plan to look for my own apartment sometime next year, to share with cousins. wish me luck!
So helpful! 🙌🏼 Wish I had seen this video a year ago before I moved 😂
haha aww maybe one of your friends will need some advice in the near future!!
How do u overcome your fear of moving? I have a terrible anxiety and whenever i have the inspiration to try the tips u suggested i began to worry on what do i do now that I'm all alone? How should i keep my house or apartment secure from bad crazy people? Or what should i do if something like that comes my way? These questions always terrifies me and my mom is not helping by putting up those tv shows that solves real life murders they don't help me at all. What should i do? Moving to a place all on my own os exciting but extremely scary. I have nothing and these questions are driving me crazy!!
Echosong 87 To fix that fear and all of anxiety is general is simple. Read the Bible start with the book of John. Peace

Q^Q ok

Sorry it's just exciting and terrifying at the same time... And i do really have terrible anxiety too

Ah thanks girl!! It's from 4Si3NNA The Label!

What are you and Alex doing since you moved out of your apartment? I feel like I missed something 😟
#1 thing I can't live without is a TV set!!!!!
Thank you
I'm planning moving to apartment once finish with high school I was planning on moving to CA but I pretty much changed my mind I will have to wait I don't want to pay pet rent sense I have two cats I don't want to pay just to keep them I found two apartments that costs around $1,500 to 2,500 or so and it not that bad I think
I'm almost going to be an adult and having to move. i also use apartment list
Since I saw the beginning I thought I was the only one with that problem which I shouldn't have thought lol
I don’t know if this is all apartments but apparently mine I have to let them know if I don’t want to renew 2 months before it ends should I look for a new place then
Love your hair
Thank you babe!!
Great great topics
Glad I could help :)
Oh my God, you look like Nina Dobrev
Igor Carddoso IKR I was looking for a comment about that haha
Yeah she does!

Who else looks at apartments and plans out where they would put things but still have to wait 7 years till you actually will
Ugh 😕 I can’t wait
I’m trying to move out in a couple months can’t wait 7 years Lol
Great video, but too bad the vlogger cannot get rid of the loud Echo sound mixed with background music.
what top or dress are you wearing?! I love it and the color
It's a top! It's from the brand 4SI3NNA! One of my recent faves :)
More of this

I'm 14 too, but British 😂 planning to move out when I'm 16 😬
okaminess what’s wrong with seattle haha, i’m planning on moving there and i’m scared now
omg the teeth scraping is a severe pet peeve for me. Also having dry hands lol idk
Hello, loved the video!
I just wanted to offer some feedback, please take it in the best possible way. I think you should invest in something to capture your voice better to eliminate the echo when you talk. :)
I don’t know much about what tech you would need specifically but I’m sure there experts you can ask.
Ophion Tsal i personally like the sound she has now, so i think thats just an opinion of yours
I just learned if I worked at McDonald’s when I am 14 and work their till I’m 18 I can make over $24,000
You can work somewhere way better and make more honestly
Come to Los Angeles and you can rent 1-3 Bed room at $2,315 - 4,575, at Burbank we have apartment available for you.
Where is your shirt from? Thank you for this helpful video!!!
It's from 4SI3NNA! & Thank you Elysa!!
Video starts at 1:50. You're welcome.
Type A personality here, but you are 100% right about how soon to get serious in a big city
Ayyeee! Nebraska!! lol
Stay bles nice seeing u doing good motivate yr self keep up the good work xxx
the echo in your room though
you look exactly like Nina Dobrev's character in Vampire Diaries!!
I can't take it being quite even tho I do like staying at home sometimes I live in a different state than you then I moved to a different area in same state but not much sound like people and so on. But every now and then a car passing by is really the only noise now or if its too windy i will hear that. But I grew up near train tracks so I would hear that a lot but also lived around a airport so I heard planes take off too. So even tho I am someone who does like staying in at times. If I were to live and move to la I would need noise since most of my life i heard planes and trains at night. I can't stand it where i live its too quite that I have my tv on.for awhile at night for some kind of noise.
