NT$38,000 a Month in Taipei: Survival Mode. That "Unserious" Classmate Bought a House.
35-year-old Ah-De lives in survival mode on NT$38K a month in Taipei: 7:15 a.m. on the Bannan Line, leaving the office at 8 p.m., year-round without a single day off.

This is the story of two divergent tracks — and what Xiao Yu saw that Ah-De didn't.
