Laura, anyone can live beyond their means, even Elton John has had his money troubles-- with all his ability to generate wealth. I haven't checked out the registration budget since 1995 when it was obvious to me that the design at that time was to make expenses meet the income. After all, one piece of paper does not have to cost $10 and that is basically what registration is-- one piece of printed paper.
I know enough about pedigree computer programs and running a business ( two actually, an "in the mall" florist and a greenhouse business) to know that the financial budget can be massaged to reflect whatever the people in charge want it to reflect. If you want it to be in the red, increase labor costs and inventory or equipment. If you want to show a profit, streamline and downsize. I opined that the club ran the registry at a loss or close to a loss due to intent and not stupidity. However, I could be wrong, although the fact that a non-profit is not supposed to show a profit would tend to support the former option over the latter.
