[@UniceLiu]

avrey has literally grown up and matured so much in the past few years IM SO PROUD she’s doing big things

[@mckennawong4848]

why are you literally frickin everywhere

[@adelinesmith4316]

I knowww thats what I thought to!

[@karolinal26]

I love the apartment, and the fact that it's not all white and new

[@rroselandd]

IK SAMEE its so interesting to look at!

[@imandreamendez]

Love the vintage brick!

[@mollyvikman6687]

yeah!! the brick really makes it all better

[@jennifercate8996]

I love how responsible you’re being with the whole animal/pet thing. Love you saying, “a dog is a lifetime commitment and I don’t know what next year is going to bring.” Bravo, Avery! It’s also great that you’re making the choice to live on your own, and not live with your boyfriend. Love it up! Very healthy, responsible and mature thinking!

[@pemazidig9152]

your apartment is so gorgeous the lighting is everything

[@imandreamendez]

Love natural lighting!

[@bellanash2405]

yes. you are serving 70s 👏🏼goddess 👏🏼realness 👏🏼 absolutely stunning

[@pamukaltan-bonnet8779]

please take ur time with the apartment makeover/tour video. those kind of long format videos rlly take a toll on ur mental health especially if ppl r constantly asking abs when ur gonna post it. mental health comes first, we can all wait for the apartment tour video ;)

[@pemazidig9152]

avrey GLOWED UP this year, i'm obsessed with your growth and style ily

[@cele5899]

she was always beautiful

[@meghanhughes]

ok ON THE CREDIT SITCH! i literally didn't get a credit card/establish credit until THIS YEAR! (i'm 23) but because i didn't have credit, almost all card companies declined me at first/i never heard back from them like u! SO! u have to get a "starter card" basically just to build up a credit score/show that u will pay the bills. then u can get the ones that have better benefits later! i have a capital one platinum mastercard if that helps :') yay adult stuff! so stoked for u!

[@julievaldez1563]

avery, could u maybe talk about what it was like maturing for you and basically just realizing that you’re an (or close to being) an adult now and you have to do everything on your own lol? i feel like im super naive and sheltered and having sum serious growing pains rn that in a freshman and college. i cannot fathom the thought of me moving out rn bc im still very dependent on my parents and so i was just wondering what it was like for u

[@Cyracious]

girl same here! Avery if u read this pls talk about this in one of ur next videos. ❤

[@annregnitue1641]

julie valdez Girl I feel the same, you're not alone💕

[@linadams1965]

You seem so different. Not that I know anything about how you lived with your mom, but you seem so free and happy. So happy for you Avrey!!! 💕

[@orlajcu4187]

This is like my 5th year watching Avrey, so inspiring to see so much personal growth! ♡

[@lisazhong6139]

why did coffee book table sound better than coffee table book lmao

[@annad8476]

try a discover credit card! they have a specifically student card that is very easy to get and a referral program so you can get $50 if a friend with a discover card refers you (and they get $50). Not sure how easy the non-student credit cards are to get, but I would imagine they're more accommodating than some other companies based on the student card.

[@kenzieflii]

I second this! I have a non-student credit card with them and they were the only company to accept my application. Super great beginner card!

[@ariannehallstrom1101]

They also have a prepaid credit card

[@Liz-zg1mf]

the discover it secured card is good if you have no credit! there’s 3%-1% cash backs when using it. you just need to deposit $200 as a security deposit when you sign up.

[@abigail18md]

I'm a student and I got a Discover card, it's been easy to keep up with and I have friends who have also used them as a "starter" card and liked it

[@MelanieHeart]

Lol just made a comment just like this!! Yes, Discover is the way to go!!!

[@agustinamanuela]

It's so funny and cute how similar you and Kennedy are. Same hand gestures, very similar voices and personality (at least from what we see on videos). Congrats on your apartment, Avrey! Love what you've done with the place ✨💕

[@CaleighGulsby]

Yay this is exactly what I needed to bring me some joy today

[@graciew4828]

I love that you touched on credit and saving and stuff like that. I feel like that's so overlooked and never talked about but is so so important!

[@AnitaKurkach]

This colors 😍

[@annregnitue1641]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW INSANELY GOOD AVREY LOOKS IN THIS, I MEAN THE HAIR THE OUTFIT LOOK AT HER

[@katelynnw]

i’m so obsessed with watching people move and i don’t know why

[@ToriHannah]

If you do find yourself wanting a pet as a lil room mate in your apartment you could look into adopting an older dog or even fostering dogs! But you also can visit and have sleepovers with Eevee anytime which is great!

[@AshSchne]

this look is SO goldie hawn 70's vibes and i'm living for it

[@rachtpwk]

your apartment is prettier than me. wow. i love it.

[@feyza7320]

you and jen are so cute as a couple it makes me want to be in a relationship so bad

[@anarosca2291]

I'm really proud of you Avery - I've grown up with you and it's amazing to see where you are now.

[@Gcaroline]

Omfg manifesting this for myself this year

[@Lilipdl]

I am thoroughly excited to watch this video.

[@cheyenneclausen8296]

I think Avrey is taking the more responsible route. I'm glad she chose to live by herself instead of with her boyfriend because let's say they moved in together but then they ended up breaking up later on, (I'm just using this as an example btw!) then it wouldn't be any easier for them both because he'd have to take the time to move out.

[@desmariedelight]

Go to your bank and request what is basically a “pre paid” credit card. Say I pay the bank $500 for that type of card, then my limit will be $500. Easiest way to start your credit and when you actually qualify for a credit card you get your $500 back.

[@legacmaker1]

This!!! Have a decent credit score now and did this before going to college! Highly recommend!

[@Ottee2]

I was literally going to suggest the same thing.

[@laurenmiller4722]

Some places call it a secured credit card too and they just hold your credit limit in your savings account. And then just use it for like gas and stuff and make sure to pay it in full every month

[@konniewiggins9280]

This is something I actually need to do so thank you ahahah

[@sairadelrey]

Discover does this too!

[@aprilpalm5546]

I'm so happy for you!! I feel like this is such a fresh start! theres seriously so much like.. idk peace in having your own space that is your own and like your style ya know?? I feel like your energy is literally glowing!! hoping this year brings inspo and peace and growth!!

[@oliviacook208]

ahh the editing on the intro is so fun! so excited for the video :)

[@rayleymcnutt2825]

It feels so good hearing someone else say they enjoy being alone/living

[@alexisbas10]

Cats are way more of a lifetime commitment than dogs are, they literally live longer. But if you do want to get a dog I’d suggest an older one from the pound so you can make the end of its life happy and full of love. Also I think you’d really like/bond with a bunny. Just a thought

[@Zoeclarke01]

Agree cats can live to 23 years old!! And a bunny is so high maintenance and if she goes out of town it can be hard finding a rabbit savvy pet sitter :/ I have rabbits and haven't been able to go on holiday for 4 years but that's fine as my bunnies are way better ;) 😅

[@lizbeth1918]

Thats such a great idea to adopt an old dog so it can go to heaven happy.

[@Zoe-kg6kw]

Omg she does seem like a bunny person that would be so cute!

[@echo-lf8re]

yeah but bunnies are a lot of work too!! i have one and it isn't just a simple little ball of fur! they need big spaces to run around (i mean BIG) and don't actually enjoy to be snuggled with. they are very scared little creatures so they need a lot of care! not to mention taking care of them is as expensive as dogs or cats haha, but all in all i LOVE mine and i agree!!

[@madysynharned3707]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@shaeelise]

girl how have you not hit one mill yet? you put so much effort in and all your videos are iconic, thanks for being video/life/fashion inspo for me xx

[@shambhavisharma2592]

Avery promoting The Walsh's new lounge line : Here for it!!! 💛

[@favourakintokun2513]

the cuteness of your apartment is making me want to move out so bad😫

[@alexiabalan7216]

much respect that you are doing things at a healthy pace for yourself, carry it on lovely

[@beatricepapotti3258]

i L O V E her style and her confidence in the beginning of the video *chef kiss*

[@virginiadianeb]

i loved the independence once i moved out of my house. your place looks amazing already and i’m glad you’re still close to your family!

[@rhea.kenopsia]

I love the look and feel of your apartment!! The fact that it's not cookie-cutter and has real character is awesome💕 Best wishes!!

[@maddie4190]

I started with a basic store card, like department store card. And then just made a small purchase every month or so (like 10 bucks or so, unless I needed something). Then I got a personal loan for 1000 even though I didn’t “need it”. I just took the money, put it into an account with auto pay, and let that thousand pay it’s own payments on itself, if that makes sense. It paid itself off over two years. Just with those two lines of credit alone, I have “good credit.” It’s good to start small if you can. It sucks that store cards can only be used at the store it’s from (like a kohl’s card), but it’s just serving a purpose for a time until you can get a better card. Also, don’t get a card you’re going to be tempted to use constantly. I’m no expert, but I hope it helps anyone who had questions on getting started! I used to work at a bank, and for larger loans, they liked to see at least 2-3 lines of credit with a good payment history for two years before they will lend. I’m no expert, but I hope it helps anyone who had questions on getting started!

[@hannahm9091]

This is so fun and a big step!! Also FACTS around the 1 minute mark... so true.

[@The1234hannah]

i cant tell u how many times im REWATCHING THIS VIDEO BC IDK IM JUST OBSESSEDDD

[@malinhoelstad1506]

I love the way you structured the video with the timelapses and QnA over the videoes, turned out so great

[@kate.d024]

the fact that Avery & Kennedy are friends makes me really happy🤍

[@ColleenPark]

70S GODDESS YES

[@ally8836]

Love your apartment! But a tip about building credit - you actually don't need a credit card to build your score / maintain a good score. You're credit score will naturally be impacted by bills your pay. So as long as you're paying utilities on time, your credit score will be fine. I've lived in apartments for years, am 23 years old, and still don't have a credit card yet, but my score is still good.

[@angelicawilliamson8435]

Literally can’t wait, I enjoy seeing how people use their creativity to make a beautiful home

[@natalieshira865]

I'm learning about business, money, buying houses ,ect and it's not boring at all. Banks make terms SO confusing and boring so you don't learn! it's actually very fascinating.

[@liliana-gz5pd]

i love the aesthetic of the apartment and the furniture

[@kelseybollum8]

This is the most beautiful apartment ever!!! congrats and I cant wait to see more design and apartment content!

[@jaimebh30]

I love the vintage look of your apartment! I hope to have a brick wall in my home someday. I hope you have a great start to the new year!

[@mckennagolota2835]

Hey girl! My first credit card was a discover and I love it! It is awesome because at the end of your first year they will match your cash back reward, perfect if your spending money on an apartment. This will also help build your credit!

[@Amaririvers]

I would definitely recommend Discover as a starter credit card or get a target card is also a good start

[@mma1698]

i hope you are feeling better now! btw your apartment is so cute and i love your hair

[@CaliHinojosaVids]

I always recommend secured credit cards for young folks. Pretty much anyone is approved for them because you put up the money as a deposit on the card. You use them just like regular credit cards and they establish credit. After a year or two of those apply for regular ones. Also make biweekly payments. It makes your credit usage appear lower so it boosts your credit.

[@shelbyshelton8371]

I would highly recommend getting a steam mop or regular mop instead of a swiffer--they work *much* better and are better on the environment because you can reuse the pads on the bottom. Congratulations on your apartment!!! It's beautiful.

[@signenielsen711]

This video was so calming to watch! I t put me in such a good mood, while I set up my bullet journal for 2021! Enjoyment: 12/10

[@LizzieLovee76]

I am so excited to see more apartment videos simply because you are living out my DREAM rn 😭🤩

[@VanessaHoffer]

As a full-time student with only part time work I got the discover it secured card but really any secured card is great to start building credit! I used it for 7 or 8 months and then got my deposit back and now I have had it for almost a year and have built up my credit a ton!

[@KaitlynChartrand]

So happy for u! Cannot wait to see where this chapter of your life takes u!

[@michelle_zhao]

discover's student card is a great first credit card! there's hardly an application process and I got approved right away. i got it a few months ago right after my 18th birthday and my credit score has improved so much already. it also has pretty good cashback!

[@PhantomFan4]

Apply for a Discover It card, they usually accept anyone. You could also try a store card like Best Buy

[@bellabb13]

You’re literally glowing 🥺❤️ proud of u!!

[@CrustyUgg]

Exposed brick is everything. I miss it ! Had it in my last apartment in the living room and an entire accent wall in the bedroom 🙂

[@daisyblake72]

I use the Bank of America travel card and it is great for building points to redeem for flights or cash!! (flights after the pandemic obviously)

[@rebeccaburns9805]

YOur haiirrrr ahhh it looks so good!!! The vibes in your apartment are just amazing!! Happy new year sis, hope you have the best holiday!!!

[@taylurrk]

Chime banking has a credit card that helps you build credit! I have been using it for about 3 months now and it’s one of the best things ever. You can only spend what you put on it and Chime notifies you any time there’s any purchases made on the card, money has been removed from your account, and there is no fees or interest you are meant to pay back.

[@LovelyDancer92]

Store credit cards are the easiest to get as a first credit card. Apply to for that has a major credit card company associated with it, like Visa or MasterCard, that way you can use it at places other than the one store. My first credit card was the Old Navy Visa. You can use it anywhere Visa is accepted, as well as Old Navy, Gap, Athleta, and the other Gap Brands

[@tumbling98]

The first way i built credit was with a Kohls card and I also have an amazon card. :) Kohl’s card is super easy to build credit with because if you like kohls, you can just buy something with the card and then pay it off immediately at the store register. I’m sure other stores have stuff like this too and they should be pretty easy to be accepted to

[@Coolgirlmafer]

I’m so excited to see the apartment tour! So happy for you!!

[@squidlycurls7663]

Discover is a great first credit!! It’s helped build my credit and it’s pretty simple to use and understand.

[@bekkakean9498]

Also look into koho for building credit/ managing savings. Its super educational and easy to use

[@lilymcqueen7824]

okay I am OBSESSED with your apartment! So happy for you!!

[@bellatomlinson8662]

the editing is so good on this video, you are such an inspiration for me!! good luck

[@sheridansilvers3216]

i am IN LOVE with the purple table

[@inbars5527]

tbh this apartment is a vibe. can’t wait for a tour.

[@nisch4686]

sooo excited to watch you living by yourself ❤️

[@alexandrastott]

omg that huge mirror is to die for!!!!

[@eliannapywell]

so so excited for you! i cant wait to see it when it is completed! would def love the links to some furniture pieces!

[@emdale3]

my first credit card was through my bank, that seemed to the best way to get one to start since they can see my reliability based off my bank account with them, so I was able to get approved!! I wish you luck Avrey!

[@KylaMichelleC]

AHHH!!! i’m so excited and happy for uuuu

[@melinakarampatsa684]

you're gorgeous and omg i love your hair so much!!!also im really happy for you

[@IsalKamara]

Yasss Avery!!! I’m so proud of u 🥲and also I see u girl giving some Dolly Parton vibes u look sooo pretty 😍

[@marsalhm]

Discover is great starter credit card. And congrats on the new apartment loving all the decor so far!

[@imandreamendez]

Congrats on the new apartment! My loving your living room decor!

[@hannahwong6771]

your hair looks so good!!

[@yasmeenporter2028]

So happy for you, Avrey!

[@aly9652]

The Discover it secured credit card is great for young people just starting to build credit or for someone who needs to fix their credit. And discover has some other good options too!

[@FabiolaSuarez]

Avrey’s aesthetic is everything!$

[@crosbywood332]

this is so exciting i love growing up with my fav tubers🥺

[@LeaNezz]

i love all the plants it looks so good!!

[@annekeo.1706]

And here i am. 25 and still living with my parents.

[@aricarly]

In my country, most people live with their parents until they either marry or move to another city. Thus I have seen plenty of people in their 30s to 50s even 60s still living with their parents. I dread turning 30 and still be living with my parents, I hope that by then I would be fully independent.

[@MoreMaddie]

Girl same 🌝

[@konniewiggins9280]

That's perfectly normal! I'm 20 and feel the same way, but I saw an article about how younger people are staying with their parents later and at a higher rate that decades before. It also talked about how college entrance rates are going down because people are going straight into the workforce.

[@beatricetulchin9649]

don't be too hard on yourself! Everyone grows at their own pace and it is a great opportunity to bond with your parents!

[@milenaale]

sameeeeeee i wanna gooooooooo

[@shyanneroberge2371]

I would definitely recommend getting a credit card, because its not a bad idea to start accumulating a credit score so you can later on rent another apartment, or if you want to take out a loan, etc, its helpful in showing the person/company who you want to rent/loan money from that you're trustworthy with your money. I have a student discover credit card and its been helpful to have, and you can get cash back when you buy from certain stores. The only thing that you got to be careful about when having a credit card is how much you spend with it, and to not exceed the amount of money per month that you can use it to spend with (because that will bring the credit score down). Also paying on time is also important, this can also bring your score down if you forget to pay it after a certain amount of time, so you want to make sure you know the date each month that you have to pay it on.

[@laurenbrown6626]

capital one has a few good starter cards, secured is a really safe bet if you’re worried you won’t get accepted but student and quicksilver are also good. my first was student and then they auto-upgraded me to quicksilver after about a year. try not to apply to a lot of places because the more you get rejected, the worse your credit becomes (even if you’ve never had a credit card)

[@karenestephanie2192]

so proud of you!!

[@leticiaferreira4202]

loved your new place!! my biggest dream is to get my own place too, i hope i can afford it when i finish college and get a better job. best luck to you!! 💙

[@angelacartiglia]

I LOVE YOUR PLACE!!! that brick with the huge mirror is everythinggggg 😍

[@leelsbless]

If you need a good starter credit card, I recommend discover it card! It was my first credit card when i was 18 and it has zero interest fees and you can get cash back on your purchases! Congrats on the apartment 😊
