Ok so I want to do a separate Patreon from the existing one for expenses related to living so I can do this #INeedDiverseGames work full time.

If I were to convert my personal Patreon to a creator page; what rewards would you want for the following levels/tiers?

$1-$5
$5-$10
$10-$20
$20-$45
$50 and up?

Ideally I would need at least $2200 a month coming in to cover the following:

Rent $925 a month
Bills, including internet, electricity, cooking gas, etc.
Pet costs (minimal)
Groceries
Transit costs
INDG related Travel & Doing cost of business expenses (which could also be pulled rom INDG for specific reasons/conventions)

So thoughts? I am getting serious about this because I need to make a move and the day job isn’t doing it for me anymore.
