Budget

This is where my budget information will go, including goal costs as well as ACTUAL costs.

Rough goal… 12-14 months rent @ $800 per month brings costs [hopefully] between $9,600 and $11,200.  This is a learning process and I am working on getting items donated/sponsored and I really have no idea where my budget will come in at.  This is just my starting goal.
