    Anyone have experience with ikea beds? I'm looking for something more than just a foam mattress for a king sized bed(and a frame) for my new place. My current queen is decades old and will be tossed since it won't fit in my vehicle for moving anyways. Currently working on a $2k budget to furnish my whole new place, feeding myself until my first paycheck there, and paying for new clothes since I don't have a wardrobe for a corporate job.

    i dont mind answering questions either, my posting of my earnings everyday invites a lot of that. But seeing people getting solid advice, not taking it, asking same question again, getting same answer from someone else, not taking it etc. does get rather old. Believe it or not, one of the best ways to make money here is to actually work.

    You still have a lot more optimism and faith/trust in people than I do.

    I have absolutely no problems helping out someone who genuinely wants / needs it. There are two people recently that come to mind (though I'm not going to mention names, y'all know who you are) who are at least grateful and open to new ideas -- one of which I may have referred to as Anakin Skywalker in IRC :p

    I could keep going, but @oldtimeturker perfectly sums it up:

    10/10 frugality. In all seriousness with 2 people and a 60lb dog I've definitely got to get a big one. I get so annoyed with space issues with our current queen size since I'm annoying and take up a bunch of space with how I sleep.
