I'm Eddie Hamilton, and I live in my parent's house. They died five years ago, and thankfully, the house was not built with the need of paying thousands of dollars to maintain it every month. Hell, even the electricity bills and other bills were only a hundred US dollars.
Living in New York was tough, especially since it was the first capital city of the United States. Well, it wasn't now, but still, the cost of living was absurd. The rent of average people even surpassed my income!
Four hundred US dollars a month was small, but for me, it was sufficient. If only I had to limit my food intake, limit the use of lights only to my room, which, of course, the lightbulb should not take too many watts, and discipline myself from buying unnecessary things that were also considered a need so with all things considered, I could live in a first world country.
Speaking of money…
The only valuable thing I had was my laptop.
