Myswag's Bank Balance
« on: May 07, 2020, 01:04:25 PM »

Jillsy what would be the chances of displaying this information on an ongoing basis (maybe in the Merchandise section) as a sticky or pinned to the top somewhere so that we can all be reminded and all easily see how things are travelling financially? Possibly also display in the same page how we are travelling in regards to the required target that is needed to keep the forum going. That way we get a visual reminder and can then decide to throw a few bucks as we wish to help


Righto Folks,

As requested by Rodt, below is a bit of summary of Myswag's financial status.  I will endeavour to update it regularly.

Opening Balance 01/07/2024 $49.20

July
+$   373.00 (Server Donations & $200.00 Director Loan)
- $   251.41 (Server Fees, Paypal Fees)
=170.79 

August
+$   153.00 (Server Donations & $150.00 Director Loan)
- $   198.24 (Server Fees, Bank Fees)
= 125.55

September
+$      3.00 (Server Donations)
- $   198.00 (Server Fees)
= -69.45

October
  +$ 1078.00 (Server Donations & $1075 Director Loan)
  - $ 1133.00 (Server Fees & Accountant Fees)
= -124.45

November
  +$ 474.00 (Server Donations, Merchandise Purchases & $200 Director Loan)
  - $ 216.79 (Server Fees & Paypal Fees)
=132.76

December
  +$ 341.88 (Server Donations, Merchandise Purchases & $318.88 Director Loan)
  - $ 430.88 (Server Fees, Postage Fees, Accounting Software Subscription)
=43.76

January
  +$ 203.00 (Server Donations & $200 Director Loan)
  - $ 198.00 (Server Fees)
=48.76

February
  +$ 301.00 (Server Donations, Merchandise Purchases & $210 Director Loan)
  - $ 201.32 (Server Fees & Paypal Fees)
=148.44

March @ 28/03/25
  +$ 701.80 (Server Donations, Merchandise Purchases & $698.80 Director Loan)
  - $ 847.29 (Server Fees, Merchandise Stock Purchases, PO Box Renewal)
=    2.95


*Director Loan means Brett & I put money in to cover costs - to date we have leant Myswag $10348.27 (@ 16/05/24) $13662.89 @28/03/25

** We transfer the money from the PayPal account to Myswag's bank account periodically hence why Server Donations may not show up in the month they were made but rather in the month they were deposited.


Just a reminder that, contrary to popular belief, Myswag is privately owned (and privately funded when the "kitty" needs a top up) by Brett. Businesses don't pay to advertise in the Showroom Section and people who advertise in the Classifieds Section are not charged to do so etc. In recent years we have had a couple of Premium Sponsors come on board which has been a MASSIVE help financially however server fees, accountancy fees, tax, restocking of Member Stickers and Coolers etc all adds up.  If you enjoy your time here and are keen for Myswag to have a long life, you are more than welcome to make a donation to the Server Fund through the Myswag.org Online Store (see the picture below). All donations, great and small, will be more than appreciated and will be directly responsible for helping to keep Myswag online.  Just think, if every member donated just $1 each, it would be enough to pay the Server Fees for 11 years! 




Of course, you could also purchase some Myswag.org Merchandise from our great range :cheers:.

Have updated the figures again...thanks Swaggers!!!  You guys are awesome!

Just a reminder though...please DO NOT DONATE OR DON'T FEEL OBLIGATED TO DONATE if you are under financial stress from COVID-19!!! 

I know of at least one Swagger who has donated this month who had their hours cut but donated anyway. The donation was gratefully received Mate (you know who you are) however it really wasn't expected  :cheers:

Figures have been updated Folks  ;D

Now I won't name him as I have already been in touch with him privately to express our thanks and absolute gratitude for his generosity but there is a certain Swagger who has been donating weekly over the past few weeks and has donated a significant amount towards the Server Fees. To you Swagger, thank you again  :cup:.   That means we now have 3 Swaggers who make regular payments to the Server Fund (2 Swaggers do it Monthly and this latest Swagger weekly).  Thank you gentlemen, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I hope 2021 is kicking off ok for everyone. It is my absolute hope that 2021 doesn't say to 2020, hold my beer!

I am once again up to date with the figures Folks.  Thank you so very much to everyone who has been donating to the server fund and/or purchasing merchandise - your support is truly wonderful and wonderous  :cup: :cup: :cup:

Brett has been in touch with Firefox (our resident Tech Guru) as we have been advised by our current server host that our server hardware is at end of life so we are looking at swapping over to something else.  This will hopefully also bring down the server costs as current costs are quite frankly killing us  :'( :'( :'(

I am so sorry that it has been so long between updates - has been hectic (as it always is) here at Myswag.org HQ - I am working permanent night shift, have been studying externally and doing one prac day for my study each week as well as trying to keep up with normal Wife, Mother, Daughter, Friend stuff.

It is so great to see new Members registering each week!  Brett, myself and the kids are hoping to organise a little mini break some time in the not too distant future (just trying to get leave approved for the same time as each other) so hopefully that comes to fruition.

I hope everyone is doing OK. 

Take Care X

Updated the figures again Folks - sorry it was so long between updates - it seems like I blinked and it was February 2022  :o :o :o

Just an FYI - there is one member here who has consistently been donating to the server fund weekly since 06/12/2020 - in that time they have single handedly donated a total of $885!!! Thank you!!! You know who you are  :cup:

I'd also like to make a shout out to Fizzie - he has been making a monthly donation to the Server Fund since October 2019.  It is very much appreciated Mate..it really is!

I can also set my calendar via noel_w - he's been making a monthly donation since May 2020.  Thanks so much Noel - you're like clockwork!

Since September Merchandise Purchases and Server Donations were made by Doc Evil (RIP Mate), Clarky, GGV8Cruza, GeoffA, Pottsy, Spada, jwb, Hairs, plusnq, Fizzie, noel_w, Paul and Bern and Rodt.  Thank you to all of you - it is so very much appreciated. Especially so in these trying COVID times xxx

Figures updated Folks  ;D

Thank you to that same Member who has been donating consistently weekly (he is still is) and to Fizzie and Noel for your monthly donations that remain like clockwork.

Since February 25th Merchandise Purchases and Server Donations were made by Tigger, austastar, Pottsy, Fizzie, plusnq, noel_w, NZMarkb, swamp451, Paul and Bern and Rodt.  Thank you so, so much - your donations are gratefully received and are keeping Myswag online and ad free  :cup:

Just an FYI - the Myswag Store is currently down - I uploaded the National Meet Merchandise and now it has pooped itself  :o - I am working on getting it fixed and will let you all know when it is back up and running. Don't hold your breath..you may die... ;D. I am hoping to have it up by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.  My back up tech guru if I can't get hold of Firefox is my neighbour who is IT for the Police however he is at a wedding currently so may have a sore head in the morning  ;D

I'm still trying to find traction after coming back from Tassie. When we got back it was straight back to work, straight back to school for the kids (and then all of the activities that go with the end of the school year), preparation from Christmas, Christmas, New Year, getting organised for back to school etc.

Long story short...figures have been update again  ;D ;D ;D

Thanks to those Swaggers who have made Server Donations and purchased merchandise over the past 12 months  :cup:.

I know that Brett and I have been super absent of late but we have made sure Server Fees have been paid on time to keep the lights on for the Forum  ;D

Sorry we (Brett and I) haven't been on much lately.  We've got a few things happening on the home front but the Forum is never far from our thoughts and we are still paying its bills to "keep the lights on".

Hopefully we will be able to see our way clear to get back out and get amongst it with you all in the near future.
