Suzie, I never said I had $500 a month in expenses but they do amount to several thousand a year. There are expenses that you and your son don't realize. This is not a case of subscribing to a cheap hosting service and throwing up a site. This site is complex and contains a huge database with 30 years of data. I pay for and rely on several services to keep the site running securely and properly. The cost of those services has doubled and tripled in recent years. I also pay a consultant every month to take care of server issues when I'm "over my head". He has been very busy recently helping with several layers of technical issues.
If I was ever able to reach $500 a month in income it would pay the expenses and maybe provide me with a little extra income in retirement to cover the hours I spend every day to keep this site available. Would you deny me that?
