Andrea Cuff decided toward the end of high school that she wanted to be an IT Security specialist. Her family were first generation immigrants to Canada and they had not been able to save toward her university expenses. While she had been working part time since she was 16, she had contributed most of her earnings to help support her family of 4 siblings, 2 parents and 2 grandparents. Therefore, when she graduated high school she decided to work and save everything she could for the next 4 years in order to minimize any student loan debt that she had to incur. In January 2017, having completed her undergraduate program with no debt, Andrea enrolled full-time in the Master of Information Technology (MITS) program at Ontario Tech U-a one year graduate program On December 31, 2016, the balance in her high interest savings account (earning 1% compounded daily on the minimum balance during the month and deposited on the last day of each month) was $7,000. In addition, Andrea received a scholarship of $16,000 for 2017 (effective January 1, 2017) and a Teaching Assistant ship (TA) of $10,000 per term (4 months) for the winter, spring/Summer and fall 2017 terms. This, net of deductions, will be deposited in her bank account at the end of each month. The university will take her 2017 tuition of $10,000 and ancillary fees of $1,200 directly from her scholarship and pay the remainder in equal installments at the end of each month for the year. The university takes deductions evenly over the year, for Andrea on a monthly basis, they deduct: Income tax $185, CPP $109.31, EI $40.75 and union dues $40. Andrea's minimum daily bank balance for January was $4,415.94. Over the preceding 4 years as an undergraduate student, Andrea had established her own business, tutoring high school and university students in mathematics and computer science courses. She had established a solid reputation and was consistently earning 4,000 per month in this role, except for the summer months of July and August when she takes vacation.

Andrea purchased her new vehicle directly from the dealer for $30,000 at 3% compounded monthly for 5 years. Payments of $539.06 are to be made at the end of each month, beginning January 30, 2017. The reviews on this vehicle are very positive and the expectation is that, with proper care and maintenance these vehicles only lose about 10% per annum in terms of fair value, although in the first year of ownership, the 10% would occur immediately the vehicle was purchased. License and registration fees were paid in cash when Andrea ordered the car from the dealership in December.

Her monthly rent (paid on the 1* of each month) includes heat and lights, internet and parking for $1300 per month. She has a cell phone contract for which she pays $120 on the 16th of each month.
