Reconciliation
Counting the post-Feb-2026 Zelle transfers ($7,404) as spending to Sid, this report leaves
$3,047.34 with Yash ($120,149 funding − $117,101.66 deployed). This is not a claim about all
money left across Sid's own accounts.
An earlier hand-written figure of $422 in the source workbook didn't match the line-item math and was superseded by this formula result.
Not included in the funding total
$3,000 in cash that recently came with Sid (not yet deposited or tracked)
~$1,800 that Sid earned on his own (personal income, not family funding)
Key notes
Rent was paid directly by Yash via Zelle (Sep 2024 – May 2025). From Jun 2025, Sid pays rent himself from personal transfers.
Sid's personal column includes rent (~$742/month) from Jun 2025 onward.
A duplicate Stuytown rent payment was made in Oct 2024. Refund of $1,589 received Mar 2025 (held by Yash).
