Updated Surplus Numbers

Updated Surplus Numbers
Updated Surplus Numbers: Actual surplus 2018 per audit was $85,163.
Boards 2011-2018 implemented policies and procedures with specific goals:
stabilize owner fees, achieve maintenance objectives and achieve annual budget surpluses.
Any surplus was retained by the association.
The board elected in fall 2018 decided to increase owner fees, even in view of a large potential surplus

Average fees per owner prior to 2019:
RED indicates the consequences had boards continued the fee policies prior to 2010,
BLUE indicates actual fees. These moderated when better policies and financial controls were put in place by boards

Age and Income Driven Spending

I recently pointed out that there are about 112 million blogs out there in the so called "blogosphere".  Of course, many are of dubious value, but some have redeeming qualities.

The U.S. government "Bureau of Labor Statistics" which I have used in other posts, provides data on how Americans live.  But it is sometimes difficult to extract the information. In an a nation consumed with the "10 second" sound bite, some information simply cannot be disseminated in that time period. Of course, we all have 10 minutes for Tom Skilling's analysis of the weather - go figure!

Here is a site which provides a useful calculator. It provide you with the means to compare your spending with that of your peers, based upon your age. Have fun!    BLS - Age and Income Driven Spending

    Norm. You're old. You are close (if not already) leeching and spending off social security. I can also tell that you're a republican. Ohhh the irony.

    Certainly not worse than what the republicans did to the country for the past 8 years.
