Would you buy new furniture for two years only?
Pros of new furniture - new, fresh
Cons of new furniture - expensive, only need for two years
Pros of used furniture - cheaper, can discard after two years
Cons of used furniture - unsanitary former owners, bugs, etc
Please help me decide!! I do not have much money, but I can squeeze out enough for new furniture. It would be nice to save that money though (as a poor-grad-student-to-be!). What would you do? I cannot see needing the furniture after two years, but it is a possibility! HELP ME!
(thanks!)
Answers:
Look at it this way, In two years you will be moving away from your school so why buy new and have to move it. With used you can easily discard and will not be out a lot of money. Look at Salvation Army stores, Hospice stores or other charity type org. they have good quality furniture and if you continue to keep the furniture in fairly good shape you can re-donate and take the cost off on your taxes.
Good Luck
