Money Info (Patreon)

As you might notice, I added a "budget" at the top of the page. It's total amount made through this Patreon page, donated by you, minus Patreon and Paypal's fees.

I mentioned my system once or twice before, but here it is again:

1. All money put in through Patreon is dumped into this pile.

2. I do not consider it my money, rather that it's a fund to go towards upgrades and repairs directly related to rendering.
-I repeat, the money can only be touched if it's going towards a repair of my PC or any upgrades directly related to rendering.
-The only exception is if I'm in a literal life-or-death situation that requires me to dip into it, and even then, I have to refill it back to where it was, when/if I'm able.

3. When the money is spent on upgrades/repairs, the cost will be deducted from the budget.

4. If it's an upgrade/part/repair that's not directly related to rendering (say, a computer chair, a new mouse, etc.), then I will run a public poll asking if I should pull from the budget or if I'll use my personal money.

5. If I hit a point where my computer's been upgraded with no reasonable upgrades left to do, I'll run a public poll deciding how big the budget can be allowed to get, saving it as a buffer zone for emergency repairs/parts.
