First of all, you need to have the hovel in the Imperial City Waterfront to live in. You may purchase the home from the Office of Imperial Commerce located in the Market District. You may also choose to live in the Abandoned Shack located nearby if you cannot afford the hovel.
Then you need to find a job somewhere, whether it is a "pretend" job or an actual job that an NPC gives you. For example, you may choose to work at the Imperial City Arena. Maybe you will mop up all the blood or serve the combatants food? You may choose to work in the Waterfront Warehouse, possibly guarding all the Imperial Legion's goods from thieves. The possibilities are endless.
If you're in the Thieves Guild, it is a way to earn money, but if you are an honest peasant, this is not recommended.
Every morning you have to get up and have breakfast (e.g. Rice and Bread).
Head out for work at 8 A.M. and remember to take a snack for lunch, such as an Apple).
Eat lunch around 1 P.M. then go home around 5 P.M..
Use Lake Rumare (located in the Waterfront near the purchasable home) to wash your clothes and wash the dishes.
Pay taxes by bribing an Imperial Legion soldier or a guardsman at regular times, such as once a week or once a month.
Don't have too much money at once. If you find yourself getting too rich, you should buy a weapon to put on display in your home, or head over to the Bloated Float to have a couple of drinks. A recommended amount of gold to have is less than 1,000 pieces (unless, of course, you're saving up to buy a home, which costs 2,000 gold pieces.)
