Now, see, I read it as:
0 = Street
1-5 = Squatter
6-10 = Low
11-15 = Middle
16-20 = High
21+ = Luxury
I.e. that the dividing lines in the chart indicated the breakpoints. And since 0 was only on the side of "Street"...
0 = Street
1-5 = Squatter
6-10 = Low
11-15 = Middle
16-20 = High
21+ = Luxury
I.e. that the dividing lines in the chart indicated the breakpoints. And since 0 was only on the side of "Street"...
Anyway, to expand on this:
From the CORE BOOK
Street: Free
Squatter: 500/mo
Low: 2000/mo
Middle: 5000/mo
High: 10,000/mo
Luxury: 100,000/mo
The key thing to keep in mind is that Advanced Lifestyles will NEVER be cheaper than the ones in the core book.
Compare to: The RC table, Backwards:
Luxury: 30-30+, 100k/mo
High:20-29 Starts at 10,000
Middle: 15-19 Starts at 5,000
Low: 10-14 Starts at 2,000
Squatter 5-9 starts at 500
Street: 0-4 starts at free
Do those numbers look familiar?
Thats because the line isn't the break point, its where that level starts.

In other words, someone who simply picked Middle lifestyle would have each category at 3, for a total of 15, and pay 5,000 per month.
Basically this. The advanced lifestyle system fully incorporates the basic lifestyles as metersticks. It has exactly the same cost/benefit.
Cuz, you know, that's what the devs were building it around.
And I mean that literally. Picking X level in all categories(with no qualities obviously) works the points out to be exactly the same as just buying X level normally.
