You\u2019re probably super excited to move into your new apartment, and finally have a place which you can call your own. But adulting is not all rainbows and butterflies &#8211; you\u2019ll have to get used to being more independent, and tackle cooking, cleaning, home maintenance and other tasks. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stowsimple.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/shutterstock_135305786.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cover image credits<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trust us: even if you routinely vacuum and mop your own room whilst you lived with your parents, it\u2019s not <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quite <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the same as being responsible for keeping your entire flat clean. To make your transition from being safely ensconced in your parents\u2019 place to full-fledged homeowner as painless as possible, check out our Adulting 101 Survival Guide!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adulting Tip #1: Cooking<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel a panic attack coming on every time you step in the kitchen, relax. Cooking isn\u2019t as scary or intimidating as you think. The key is taking it one step at a time &#8211; we recommend starting off slow with recipes that are more about assembly than actual cooking (think <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justonecookbook.com\/soba-salad\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cold soba salads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the like). Once you\u2019ve mastered that, try attempting some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/2016\/06\/22-fast-easy-one-pot-meals\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one pot meals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/25-delicious-slow-cooker-recipes-for-busy-weeknights-228472\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">slow cooker meals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be throwing dinner parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adulting Tip #2: Cleaning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thing about cleaning is that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/cleaning-hacks-home\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it pays to work smart instead of work hard<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Have designated spaces for things (such as your mail!) so that you don\u2019t accumulate clutter on your tables. Get a robot vacuum cleaner which can do the dirty work, whilst you put your feet up and watch television. Also, be sure to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.livingwellspendingless.com\/2014\/02\/18\/create-cleaning-schedule-works\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">make a cleaning schedule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and stick to it. Some people prefer doing an hour\u2019s worth of cleaning each day, so that they can relax on the weekends. Some people prefer to let it all accumulate, so that they can tackle everything at once. Come up with a plan that works for you! <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/first-time-homeowners.jpg\" alt=\"first time homeowners\" width=\"720\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/first-time-homeowners.jpg 1256w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/first-time-homeowners-940x625.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/first-time-homeowners-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adulting Tip #3: Managing your finances<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You probably already know how much of your monthly paycheck is going to your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/hdb-bank-loans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home loan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but that aside, it\u2019s important to keep an eye on how you\u2019re spending your money as well. Make sure you and your partner are on the same page where your food, entertainment, grocery and shopping budgets are concerned (you\u2019ll be surprised how much junk you end up buying at the supermarket if you don\u2019t instill a specific budget!) For best results, we recommend using a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/samanthasharf\/2016\/03\/02\/12-free-apps-to-track-your-spending-and-how-to-pick-the-best-one-for-you\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">budget tracking app<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adulting Tip #4: Home maintenance<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bits and the bobs: clean your aircon filters once a month if you turn on the air-conditioning everyday, and once in two months if you turn it on less frequently. If you\u2019ve done up your balcony with timber decking, restain this once a year to counter wear and tear. Use a leather conditioner to upkeep your leather sofa once or twice a year.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Adulting Tip #5: Getting along with your partner<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most couples get a rude shock when they get married, and move in together for the first time. Maybe you\u2019re just realizing that your partner has an annoying habit of leaving the dirty dishes to stew for days on end. Maybe you start taking your partner for granted now that you\u2019re living with them 24\/7. Whatever it is, it\u2019s important to keep working at your relationship to keep the spark alive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try picking up a new skill together so that you can have fun or grow together as a couple. If you have regular date nights, switch it up by meeting each other at the location directly (and dressing to impress, like how you\u2019d do for a real date!) as opposed to getting ready together at home. If you get into a massive argument (which is bound to happen sooner or later), know that you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">need to resolve it before going to sleep (despite what those Pinterest quotes and ThoughtCatalog articles tell you). Sometimes it\u2019s much more productive to agree to disagree, and just go to bed. When you wake up well-rested the next morning, it\u2019s a lot easier to keep things in perspective, and be kinder to each other. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you found this article helpful, 99.co recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/millennials-rent-property-singapore\/\">Rent vs buy a property: here\u2019s what Singaporean millennials prefer<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/first-time-homeowner\/\">3 psychological effects you\u2019ll experience as a first time homeowner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Find the home of your dreams today at Singapore\u2019s largest\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.99.co\/?utm_source=blog%20main%20site%20conversion\">property portal 99.co<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re becoming a homeowner for the first time in 2018, congrats!
