Modern TL8 setting.
The table given under 'what cost of living gets you' is an example rather than a universal rule. Each setting theoretically would have its own version. Note that it describes what would typically be included in a given level of lifestyle if the character pays for that level each month. Unless a rule of the setting prohibits it, characters can have whatever level of lifestyle they choose to pay for regardless of their actual Status (however, having a lifestyle below your Status may, at the GM's discretion, impair a character's effective Status while doing so.)
