Expenses

Down below is an expense report of how much I spent over an entire year in this "Low Cost Business" which is the Big Lie. This and the next chart sample the year of 1992

, You could say that I was "really into the business from late 1988 to 1993 or 1994. Expenses were less in the early years cause I had no car but the AMO expenses were about the same. These expenses show when I was fully working, putting whatever money I could into the "System"
