Patreon goals updated

Inflation is on the rise wildly at the moment and we just got a message that our gas bill will be $600 a month in the fall. I updated my Patreon goals to reflect the money goals that are now a necessity:
I was already paying my own hormones and hospital bills, which has been manageable so far, but my dad will need me to pay for at least my own health insurance starting this fall as well. So the minimum number I'll need to earn on average starting November 1st will be €80.
This number may increase if my dad can't cover the gas bill. He currently charges my brother €150 a month for housing, which will be the minimum he'll charge me as well.
So January 1st, I'll need to make a minimum of €230 a month to keep this Patreon running. I am neurodivergent and have social anxiety, meaning working retail takes a lot of energy, meaning I cannot keep up a consistent upload schedule on Patreon if I have to work retail full-time.
I don't want to be working 24-7, and since this account is still considered work, I may not be able to upload more than once a month if I also want to have time for myself.
I don't want to go back to retail, so I'll be doing everything I can to earn that €230 through art. This means commissions, Patreon, and my non-NSFW art. But I can't guarantee anything, or that the required number stays at €230.
I don't want to add a €230-per-month goal to Patreon because it's not reflective of the number earned that month (it only accounts for active Patrons, e.g. if someone pledges for the month but cancels, I did earn that pledge that month but it's not included in the 'monthly' earnings), nor does it factor in money earned off Patreon.
Edit: I've decided to add the following at the bottom: what percentage of that €230-goal is guaranteed if the amount pledged by active Patrons reaches the goal tier. This means it's still skewed and doesn't account for the actual number earned every month, but it's how much of that €230 I'm guaranteed to earn that month.
I appreciate your support. If you are dissatisfied with the support you're getting, please DM me instead of lying on your exit surveys that you didn't get the rewards you were 'expecting' to get (because I know that I deliver for every tier that has Patrons every month, claiming otherwise is nonsense).
This can lead to Patreon investigations and have consequences. If Paypal catches wind that I'm using them to run this page, I'll lose both businesses. I won't be allowed to open another Paypal if the one I have gets banned, and I rely on it for my non-NSFW business as well.
Thank you for your support.
