But a canine connec- tion can sometimes help. I met Jill Shapland through Sprog, her five-month-old Jack Russell terrier. We were all out for a walk one evening and, both being pulled by the puppy, Shap- land and I got talking. She turned out to be a personal financial adviser’s dream come true of how to manage money the Tight way. Shapland got her first job three years ago eaming $28,000. She bought her first home last year - her tenants are making the mort- gage payments - and she plans to pad another property by Christ- Or m amazed by the opportuni- ties in Canada,” said S from Leeds University with a degree in animal science. She worked the whole time, not only to pay her expenses but also to save enough to travel in the sum- mers hitchhiking around Europe, Australia and New Zealand and, Mike Grenby Syndicated Columnist in 1988, Canada. “A lot of my friends had help from their parents - some even got given cars,” she said. “My parents could probably have helped me, too, and st the time I think I d the 25, who grew up on her parents’ farm near Swimbridge, in north Devon. “I could never have done this in England”. “My parents probably expect- ed me to marry the next door neighbor's son - as my older brother married a girl from the ge. Instead, Shapland graduated fact that they didn’t.” “It was tough. Getting $20 at Christmas was a real gift. But now I appreciate that I had to do it all on my own, and what that taught me.” Following up a contact she made during her first visit to Canada, Shapland got a job with Hoechst Canada Inc. selling ani- mal health products to vets and animal feed mills. Within two years, she'd saved enough to make a 15-per-cent down payment on a $118,000 two-storey house with tenants already in the downstairs suite “Actually, as well as the mort- gage, I had to borrow $2,500 on my $5,000 line of credit,” she said. “But I knew I could save enough to pay that off in two or three months.” The upstairs has two bath- rooms, so Shapland took in a roommate for the second bed- room and finished up a room under the deck for her office The rent from the roommate and the couple in the downstairs suite covers her mortgage payment. When I congratulated Shap- land on her accomplishments, she was a little surprised to find I was impressed. “I know what I want to do so I just do it,” she said. “I suppose you need a strong desire and the will to make something happen. I guess some people are con- trolled by society and financial pressures, or they don’t know what they want “I simply focus on what I've always wanted: to work in agri- culture, and have a place in the country where I can have horses.” So Shapland has continued to save $1,000 to $1,500 a month and now is looking for a piece of revenue property in a country centre - again one whose rents will cover the costs. “Eventually, I'll sell one or both of the places and buy my small holding for the horses,” she said. She also plans to start con- tributing to a registered retire- ment savings plan for both the long-term tax-sheltered growth and the immediate tax break. As her income increases, she simply saves more. “I pay my own expenses when I travel for my job and always put my Shapland credits her farm upbringing for her self-sufficien- cy. “If something needs doing, I just do it”, She does spend money on sports; she plays rugby. In the winter, Shapland takes her skis with her when she’s on the road. And she “splurged” $300 to buy Sprog. “I'm travelling around the province more than half of every month,” she said. “Sprog’s good company and loves it when we visit farms” Having a company car - she logs more than 70,000 km a year - helps with the saving, too. Mike Grenby is a Vancouver- based columnist and independent financial adviser who works with expense heq into savings,” she said. All her furniture is second- hand; for example, she paid $45 for her kitchen table and three chairs, then refinished them. She did her own decorating. But the place looks and feels comfort- able; there’s no suggestion of any pennypinching apple box decor. divids ; he will answer your questions as space allows - write to him clo The Castlegar Sun.
