Just the bed? Why not the whole bedroom suit?

Happy with the one i already have. 

I cant find a dresser bigger than what i have and i have A LOT OF CLOTHES.

The end table was altered by my mom 25 years ago and has pics of our family embedded in it. So we will probably never replace it. 

Ill get all that if/when i leave. My bed has been all messed up for years because of my dad and the matress is super old and messing up my back.

I will probably keep a piece of it or something cuz its where i conceived my daughter.

"buying a new bed"

that's not how shit works. if you'd have put the money into an investment of some sort, instead of splurging on a new piece of furniture, now that would be saving money. what you did is spend $500 less than you would have if you bought it at regular price, but i'm thinking you probably wouldn't have bought it if it were at regular price, so you would have actually saved money if it never went on sale in the first place.

pixel 3 xl, it went on sale thru project fi this morning. i was gonna buy it yesterday, but i hopped on chat support to ask what day the sales were hitting. i got lucky enough that the support rep (AI probably) said waiting "a day or so" would be wise.

You probably aren't really saving anything, or rather, not costing the seller anything to trim the price.  The cost to manufacture a mattress is probably 10% of the full list price.

Don't care. I laid on it for 10 seconds and all my little back bones said "aaahhhhh".

My current mattress is in horrible shape. I mean ...really bad...springs poking out bad. For some reason i thought a decent mattress needed to cost $1000. *shrug* never bought one before so i kept putting it off.

In the future, you should look into those mattresses on Amazon that are delivered vacuum sealed and rolled into a box. I spent a hundred on mine(Twin XL) and it's as comfortable as the $1000+ beds. The no frills bed base was maybe $80.
