First and imo very best advice ... DO NOT BORROW MONEY FOR FURNITURE ! realy ... too many people want everything right off the bat and go borrowing money to get that dinner table / sofa etc. they realy want ...... and borrow money for it thinking very little about they have to repay that load the next 5+ years and paying 25%+ in intrest is NOT amusing.
check out 2nd hand stores ... there are more gems there then you might think.
Check out insurence you realy want to look into this as there is a ton a money to save here.
Do not use money on things you dont realy have to the first 3 months ..till you are 100% sure what you need and what living realy cost, little things realy adds up.
Edit : oh yeah and best of luck and enjoy the freedom
