Finance and i first apartment

So lastnight i had posted a topic about me and my fiance getting our first apartment i had to find out at the last minute he wanted us to live furniturelss and get our thing we could afford when we can one by one instead of shopping at garage sales or thrift store. So after long conversations he still refuses to let me shop at garage sales or get hammy downs for our apartment and i refuse to live in an empty apartment. I honestly think living in an empty apartment is more emberassing then hammy downs but he wont give in so we decided to not move in with eachother and just wait til we can afford to not have to do neither, im going to continue to stay on campus or maybe get off canpus housing with a roomate .. I know this seems to be a childish argument but thanks for your understanding and advice ladies
