Janey is an accountant who works at an accounting firm in Brisbane. She is a member of a professional association for which she pays an annual fee of $750, and she is undertaking professional accounting qualifications for which she pays fees of $ 1,500. She is also undertaking a postgraduate degree in multi-media studies at a university for which she pays a course fee of $2,300. She is undertaking this course as she hopes to eventually become a financial journalist as she has gained enough practical experience at her accounting firm. Janey’s employer requires her to dress appropriately at work, and last year, she spent $900 on makeup and $2,500 on a designer work suit. Janey also has a one-day-per–week part-time job at a nightclub, which starts as soon as she finishes her accounting job on Friday nights. The nightclub is far away from the city, and she, therefore, drives her car. On all the other days of the week, Janey takes a train between home and work and spends $145 per week on tickets.
