Cost of Living

Cost of Living is a monthly offset to a character's Actual Monthly Pay.
Per B516's Cost of Living and Status, Status can drop if the COL for it is not paid.
==Notes==
*free Status from Rank does not require higher upkeep, pay only for base
*although characters may opt to pay higher/lower than status dictates, it can't be less than the Status 2 minimum of $100/month
*since Cost of Living includes the assumption of buying food, it should be possible for someone with Doesn't Eat or Drink to reduce that cost.Basic Set pg 265
*since Cost of Living include the assumption of gradually replacing worn clothing, a character who doesn't wear clothes should be able to reduce the costBasic Set pg 266
