We technically have just three bills - Omni
($2000/mo), Digital Ocean
($15/mo) and Gandi.net (?/yr)
Who pays Gandi.net? We should find out what the number is,
or at least cap it. For example, "no more than $10 a month".
We want a specific number. Not necessarily a
perfectly
correct number. But a number that lets us say: "If we bring in
$X per month, we are meeting all of our financial obligations,
and can put that out of mind."
$2500 is a good monthly number, but we should also do some fundraising
activities (crowdfunding, parties, fixit clinic, etc) to build up an
operating reserve fund (3 months expenses, or $7,500) and a capital reserve
fund (equivalent to operating, for improvements and necessary building
maintenance&repairs) = $15,000.
We used to pay $446/mo in utilities to Omni, but
plead poverty in tandem
with CCL early last year and reduced our monthly payment to $2000. Omni
is
by no means financially stable as of yet, and
I'm still doing the
end-of-month scramble dance every month to ensure we can make our
mortgage
payments.
What would Sudo Room pay to cover its actual share of costs,
reliably, without any financial assistance from Omni?
$2,500 per month?
That should be our target. Nothing less.
