Heh... this just happened to me, actually. I had just recently completed my worldwide radar coverage, so the money was just ROLLING in... I wanted to build Laser Tanks, and my Avenger fleet, so I converted 2 bases into giant workshops...

It was only when end of the month came that I realised that my maintainence had ballooned from 12m to 20m... and my income had only grown from 8m to 9m. Upon checking the graphs, I realised that my expenditure for the prior 4 months had been somewhat steady around $15 million per month. During July? I spent $80 million. 10 Workshops = 8 million, 400 engineers = 20 million, I'm not sure where the rest came from, it was probably the input costs of building all those laser cannons during the last few days of the month.
