Expenses
A slimed down interpretation of the expenses:
Estates:
Primrose cottage: rating 2
New system:
- Living component
- Receiving component
- Dining component
Necessary staf:
- 2 Maids
- 1 footman
- 1 cook, 1 girl (kicthen), 1 footman
- Ladies Maid
- Butler
- Housekeeper
Extra staff:
- Footman (from twins)
24 Friend Street: rating 2
New system:
- Living component x2
- Receiving component x2
Necessary staff:
- 2 footman
- 3 maids
- Lady's maid
- Head housemaid (9 total female staff)
Agent: Mr. Gardener
Female: 2+1+1 Primrose. 3+1+1, 24 Friend street. Total 9
Male: 1+1+1 Primrose, 2 Friend street. Total 5
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.
Assuming: Head housemaid in geographically seperate estate counts for +1 female staff to manage them?
This costs (pounds per month):
- Primrose components: 15
- Primrose servants: 44
- 24 Friend components: 20
- 24 Friend staff: 22
- Agent: 10
For a total of 111 pounds per month.
That's not having a stables (as those were never explicitly defined), and having no double components on primrose cottage.
Income
Assuming I got investments 2 from having wealth 3 for awhile. Miss Gladstone is not a person good at saving up for investments, but would have invested some.
Shop with atelier in the background and room for future expansion might generously be a Large business (3 dots). And a ghoul agent is managing this, so generously assign 5 ranks, giving an average at DC 7 of 2 successes.
I assume no income boosting from aid points to business or favourable circumstances.
This gives an income of:
Base 100
Investment 2 20 * EF
Large Business 15 * 2 * EF
Or 100+50*EF on average
Assuming an EF of 2, that's 200 pounds of income.
200 pounds of income and 111 expenses, leaves 89 pounds of income per month.
This new economic system would mean swiftly dumping 24 Friend Street, and acquiring some more money so a bigger better house could be acquired.
