Where does the patrons’ money go? Copilots July 19, 2020

Dearest patrons,

Some of my readers and patrons asked me how I use your hard-earned money. I always try to be as transparent as possible. However, it seems that I haven’t been transparent enough.

However, the question strikes me as I have just 3 patrons by the time of writing this post up. It certainly would make sense if I had scores of patrons and a seizable income, which isn’t the case.

I won’t bore you with numbers —I don’t have the income enough for doing so— but will do my utmost in explaining the income and expenses I have and the reasons for them.
