If you can use the Web Storage API it should be quite simple (you could also use sessionStorage, depending on what you’re actually trying to achieve):

$(document).ready(function() {
    if(!localStorage.count) {
        localStorage.count = 0;   
    }
    localStorage.count++;
    var num = localStorage.count;
    $("#shortfall").text(num);
});

Here’s a working example. You could also use cookies, or you could do it server side (e.g. with a PHP session). I’m not entirely clear on whether you are intending the number to increment for each user, or a total for all users… if it’s the latter, you’re going to have to do it server side!
