A Budget refers to the initial Credits a Character gains from their Starting Job.
A Character's Budget is used during Character Creation to purchase Items and Cyberware as well as construct a Vehicle.
Each Budget has two parts, the Personal Budget and the Vehicular Budget described below.
A Personal Budget refers to the portion of Credits from a Budget that may only be spent on Items and Cyberware for your Character.
Any unspent Credits from a Personal Budget are kept and carry over from Character Creation into normal play.
A Vehicular Budget refers to the portion of Credits from a Budget that may only be spent on Components to construct or purchase a Vehicle.
Any unspent Credits from a Vehicular Budget are lost after Character Creation.
Vehicular Budgets from multiple Characters may be combined to create or purchase a singular Vehicle as Appropriate.
