existential finance report

by James Halliday

Here is the finance report from the meeting tonight. We have $1031 in the bank. Our minimum expenses are ~$2400 / month: * rent: $2000 * utilities, taxes: $300 * insurance: $94 Our income is $1820 / month: * gratipay: 285.96*4 = 1145 * stripe: 675 This means our bank account is draining at $580 / month. $1031 / ($580 / month) = 1.78 months So in 1.78 months we will be out of money. Unless you help! https://sudoroom.org/donate/ Every amount helps.
