How much did it cost to furnish your first apartment?

I'm looking to get my first place within the next 11 months. Thankfully, I enjoy a spartan lifestyle so I don't require a throw of wall art or knickknacks. However, fundamental costs such as bedding, living room, kitchen appliances, etc will play in the majority of my cost factor. My budget is liquid at the moment; likely anywhere between $5k to $15k depending how certain non-controllable facts play out within the next year.

Essentially, looking for advice on cost estimates, some prior experience, dos and donts, yadda yadda. Would be very appreciative of less shitposts and more qualityposts.

Where I live, apartments usually come with kitchen and bathroom.

I spent about 3000-4000$.

My brother spent 6k on furnishing a one bedroom. He bought his furniture at Ikea. Biggest expense was a 2k mattress.

Almost all my furniture are hand-me-downs and gifts

When I first moved for my self, I got like 700 dollars worth of furniture (a single bed and some IKEA shelves)

You really don't need to spend $500. I mostly got furniture from friends and family. Craiglist is also great for anything un-upholstered, but I would avoid getting second-hand mattresses or couches from sources you don't trust.

0$
Found a perfect 2 1/2 appartment ($470/m) with a fridge, oven, table and chairs with a washing machine in the block.
Already had the rest of my furniture in my room at my mom's house

I don't live in US. I bought first flat for about 15k$, it is 28 square meters. I spent 2k$ on drawers, carpets n shieet plus another 2k on fridge, washing machine, microwave and oven.
It was cheap as fuck, but pretty fine for self made single 21yo

There's a definite balance between waking up with dislocated ribs, and having a sore back because you sink into the mattress.

Sleep is really important. Wouldn't say that there's a minimum price to pay for it, but I wouldn't say it's something to cheap out on either. Bad sleep will make your entire life miserable.

Pretty much the only essential criteria you'd want is for it to be foam coil. You can pick up pillowed covers for real cheap that also double as a water barrier, so getting it built in is a bit of a waste. No reason you shouldn't be able to find a decent mattress for around $500. That's new, mind. If you don't mind doing a bit of cleaning, you can have good mattresses as cheap as $25-$50. A lot of people just don't know much about them, and they're a bit of a pain to move.

Two rooms + small kitchen .. had nothing but my clothes when I moved out (was 19). Cost me the equivalent of 5000 USD at the time

Just get a futon

It really depends on how much you're willing to spend. Depending on what you get and where you get it from, you could spend literally anywhere from $1000 upwards.
