08-14-06, 11:55 PM According to the LGCS FAQ (page 67):Q: I am confused on time units and lifestyle. When I spend TUs on various things what requires me to pay lifestyle and which ones do not?

A: You must pay lifestyle on any TUs spend on the following: Adventuring, meta-orgs (unless the organization states otherwise), magic item creation, time spent on spellcasting or NPC spellcasting, or time spent in jail or out of play. You do not have to pay lifestyle on TUs spent on Nonadventuring activity as described in Chapter Six.

[...] regional events." I would take that to mean that for TUs spent serving the meta-org, they cover your living expenses, n'est pas?

That is an ideal question for you to ask your Triad.

My understanding is that living expenses for metaorg TUs cost the same as the adventure in which they are paid.

If that is correct, then your interpretation is true IF the metaorg TU cost is paid on a Regional adventure's AR. If it is on the AR for a Core, Metaregional, etc., then the appropriate costs would have to be paid.
