Post Meeting Notes
- Current "extra" money we have the ability to expend is $195.83 / mo
- From this we should consider budgeting for:
- A safety net equal to 3 months of expenditures (at our current state this is a long term goal)
- Increased lease amount
- Increased insurance amount
- Increased increased utility bill
What needs to be taken from this is that we cannot afford a lease increase of $150, but it seems like we could do $100. If the money is not available we may have to sacrifice things like air conditioning and heat.
