Yeah, I think you can get a nice budget set up from Walmart

If I were you, to save even more money, I would see what I have around the house that could be repurposed for pennies on the dollar vs buying something new

What you mean by "repurposed for pennies on the dollar"?

Like if you got an old table in your garage or even a folding table

Take it, clean it up if it needs it, and use that

That will cost you less than $20 vs $100 to get a new table

Been pussy footing around but im finally gonna clean out the garage, put up insulation and walls, paint, change the lighting and add a flooring tile.

Atleast thats the plan lol..

The easiest part for me is going to be cleaning it out lol. Never done any of the other shit so im debating about just getting a pro to knock out the rest but im sure it will be an expense i dont feel like paying for.

Not done but Its coming along slowly but surely. The walls will need more coats of paint( not completely happy with em just yet) then ill hang up tv, pictures etc. Then eventually ill get around to doing the floors. Looks a hell of alot better so far tho. @AP21 thats the rug i mentioned in the stupid purchases that was pending lol.
