for 1983 and 1984 inasmuch as he lived with Frank and Katherine
during those years. The personal living expenses for Frank and
Katherine should be adjusted correspondingly to include Ronnie as
a member of their household for 1983 and 1984.27 As for Sylvia,
she lived with Frank and Katherine until August 1990 at which
time she established her own residence. Accordingly, personal
living expenses should be deleted from Sylvia’s source and
application of funds analyses for 1985 through July 1990, and the
personal living expenses for Frank and Katherine should be
adjusted to include Sylvia (as well as Jack Miller and Nicole, as

As for petitioners’ contention that adjustments to
transportation items included in the BLS average annual
expenditure figures should be made in addition to vehicle
acquisition costs, except for one item (public transportation),
we do not agree because the record reflects that Frank acquired

28 Although the record shows that Jack Miller moved into
the Longwood property in late 1986, we do not include him as a
member of Frank and Katherine’s household for 1986 because the
record does not show exactly when he moved into the Longwood
residence. Additionally, although the record shows that Sylvia’s
daughter was born in 1988, we do not include her as a member of
Frank and Katherine’s household for 1988 because the record does
not show exactly when she was born.
