When you first move into an apartment, people will try to help you furnish it. Parents will donate their old furniture and furniture stores will extend apparently easy credit terms.
Many young people have the notion that their apartment is their first "real" place. Consequently, renters often rush to fill their apartment with substantial looking furniture.
It's all a trap.
When you are young, you have the freedom to move in pursuit of your dreams. But, moving an apartment full of expensive or heavy furniture is not cheap. Once you have heavy furniture, you need to pay professional movers who know how to take care of things. You start needing to rent an expensive truck every time you move.
If you live in an apartment stay light and stay cheap. Don't get bigged down by heavy stuff.
