Expenses

A slimed down interpretation of the expenses:

Estates:

Primrose cottage: rating 2

New system:

  • Living component
  • Receiving component
  • Dining component
  • Stables Component

Necessary staf:

  • 2 Maids
  • 1 footman
  • 1 cook, 1 girl (kicthen), 1 footman
  • 1 stableboy, 1 driver
  • Ladies Maid
  • Butler
  • Housekeeper
  • Footman (7 total male staff)
  • Head housemaid, maid (10 total female staff)

24 Friend Street: rating 2

New system:

  • Living component x2
  • Receiving component x2

Necessary staff:

  • 2 footman
  • 4 maids
  • Lady's maid
  • Head housemaid (seperate estate)
  • Underbutler (seperate estate)

Agent: Mr. Gardener

Female: 2+1+1 Primrose. 4+1+1, 24 Friend street. Total 10

Male: 1+1+1+1+2 Primrose, 2+1 Friend street. Total 9

Primrose cottage needs an extra 2 maids and a Housekeeper under the new system. Though it has 1 extra footman. 24 Friend street servant count was never defined.

This costs (pounds per month):

  • Primrose components: 20
  • Primrose servants: 56
  • 24 Friend components: 20
  • 24 Friend staff: 31
  • Agent: 10

For a total of 137 pounds per month.

That's not having any double components on primrose cottage. As it's a small house.

Assuming: Head housemaid in a geographically seperate estate does -not- count for +1 female staff to manage them.

Assuming: If you have 4 female staff in one estate, and 4 female staff in a seperate estate. Then you have 8 female staff and require an additional servant to manage them.

Assuming: If you have a geographically seperate estate you require an underbutler if that estate has more than 0 males.

Because: "Additionally, you require an underbutler for every geographically separate estate with three or more male staff." and "Special: If the separate estate only has female staff, you can replace the Underbutler with an Underhousekeeper." does not cover a case of 1-2 male staff.

This new economic system would mean swiftly dumping 24 Friend Street. Furthermore, Primrose cottage is a small house Miss Gladstone has been living in since she had wealth 2, and she was planning to upgrade to a bigger, more expensive house soon. So currently the expenses should be low.

Larger Estate

I have been waiting till I get either wealth 4 or the new money system has been implemented till I can move to a much bigger house, which Miss Gladstone has been dreaming of for awhile. I will only give the component listings, because I don't have a fully worked out concept for how that house would look like (nor a good picture). This is to give an estimation so that the incomes can be compared for the storyteller.

Hyde Hall costs 238 pounds.

  • Agent 10 pounds
  • 5 pounds for club house upkeep

For total expenses of 253. May still make it bigger.
