My new house is financially destroying me - House tour + Updates

One week after moving, Daniel feels settled; furniture, sofa, bed, and an upstairs “man cave” make the £900 rental homelike. Housing costs are estimated at £1,200 monthly: £900 rent, £112 council tax, £25 internet, £150 electricity. He plans part-time work plus YouTube to cover added costs, postponing a £400–£500 TV and using a computer monitor instead.

Independence is tangible, but heating costs and finances still shape his home use.
