Startup costs were from from Sept 1st 2023 to Aug 31st 2024 and were used for checking actual vs potential budget.
Some expenses are for a “Lifetime” or very long license (25+yrs) and are not paid annually, but are included in the cost of the website – not the Annual budget, except as an allowance if not truly Lifetime..
Current budget is from Jan 1st to Dec 31st. If we have no direct advertising as preferred, the annual budget must be funded by the Supporting Members, Sponsors, Businesses, and Affiliate revenue to be a viable and lasting website. We are using the Budget to determine the break-even point vs Number of Members vs Annual Fee.
N/A Not Applicable right now. We are not currently using this expense.
