get in the habit of doing stuff around the place constantly. letting your apt go to shit takes little to no time and unless you get in a routine it'll keep coming back haha. go light on the furniture, just get what's really necessary (esp. since you plan on leaving in 2 years)


also feeding yourself at home is cheaper, though from the sounds of it capital isn't an issue.

if you have roommates, be sure to let them know your expectations for upkeep of the place. also be sure they contribute monetarily and have decent work ethics.
