Does this make sense?

I will bring some spending money to fund this myself, so as to keep your costs to a minimum

Anonymous Does this make sense? Yes, I think so, more or less, but it's not particularly idiomatic, so it's not easy to grasp the exact meaning. I don't think you need so many words to say what you mean.

If it's a casual social context, 'costs' is not very idiomatic.
Say eg I'll bring some money to help pay for this.
