I too, am struggling with this thought from time to time. First I bought a planner, then I set the goal of how much my apartment will be. for example lets same my studio is $900 i multiply that by 4 , so I have 4 months in advance to find a job and save for the months after that. Or If thats to fast for you then make a list of what you want in getting an apartment, so a vision board. just a little insight of what I’ve done to plan for my apartment as well and good luck.
