>Anyone have a home gym?
I've had 2. One with a full size power rack and now the one in pic related which is a half rack

>Moving in a month,
Find out if you're gonna beable to train inside your home or outside. If inside then maybe invest in bumper plates. Up to you and how heavy you lift.

>Should I get a home gym?
Yes you will save so much money and the price of a good set up is usually less than 2 years gym membership at most gyms.

>The thought of me lifting in private with my own music sounds nice.
It is nice and once you do it you will feel spoiled and hate going to a regular gym again and sharing equipment

>How much should I be looking at? All I really need is a squat rack and bench for the barbell lifts. Also, a pullup and dip bar. How much are plates?
I paid $200 for my half rack in pic related ($300 for old my full rack), $200 for the 300lb olympic weight set at DicksSportingGoods, $100 for the incline bench, $15 for the padding, $35 each for the adjustable olympic dumbbells (only 1 is shown in the photo).

When I first started all I had was a full size rack, olympic weight set and a bench. It's all I needed. All the extras I have now have been added over the years. This is an investment. Don't drop $1000 on a full size home gym. Start small with the basics and over time add to it like I have.

Everything I bought was basically brand new because I lived (at the time) in Kentucky and no one had equipment. Now I live in Chicago and I could buy everything in my pic for half the price I paid brand new used on craigslist. So if you live in a bigger city look into getting most of this equipment used.
