Article Body:

I�ve found a cool apartment! Okay, okay�so it�s not perfect. Just a few bugs. I mean literally! First expense? An exterminator! Is it worth the cash? Well, I can�t afford a more expensive place, so a one-time (please!) cash outlay should be okay. Maybe just a can of �Raid?�

I need a way to move my stuff. Daddy, can I borrow your truck? You don�t have one? Why not? Do you want one? I�ll help you pick it out! Well, it was just a suggestion. No need to get all bent out of shape! I guess I�d better call the truck rental places. What do you mean�$200�PLUS mileage? AND Gas? Good grief!

While I�m on the phone I�ll call the utility and phone companies. Yes, I know I haven�t used your services before. No, I don�t have a credit card; this is my first place. You want what? A $100 deposit? For EACH? Holy cow�do you people have a license to steal? 

Daddy, I need $500 for moving expenses! I used all my money for the first and last months rent AND the damage deposit. Well, how was I to know this was going to be so expensive? Sell something? Daaaaad�I NEED my TV!

Boy, this place is pretty empty. Maybe I should buy a couch and a chair. Nah�I have my bed. That�ll be good enough. I don�t need a table; I�ll just use this box.

Renters Insurance? I don�t think so! What do I have to insure?

Just got my first phone call! I�d love to come to your party! Daddy, I need a car. Because it�s too far to walk to work, that�s why. Umm, Daddy�there�s car insurance too! Thanks, Dad�you�re the best! And gas? I didn�t think so�

Time for dinner. Let�s look in these boxes. Oh, No! No dishes or pans. No FOOD! 

Uhhh, Mom?
