Makes sense but we should target for above our budget.
If we aim for the stars, we might reach the moon but if we aim for the
moon, we might not end up anywhere.

Let's decouple the budget from the sponsors and focus on getting as
many sponsors as we can. If there's excess cash, we have our society
and stuff and we can always keep cash for next year. We can also buy
hardware like power strips etc. which would help up in the future and
keep it as society property.
