David Jennsen
Despite the flexible work hours permitted in David’s job, he regularly finds that he’s working as many as 60 hours in a week. This leaves him little time to socialize outside of work or find time to do things he’d like to be doing, such as developing mobile Apps and starting his own business. Living a short commute from work, David uses time on public transport to keep in touch with family and friends on his iPhone as well as keep up to date with news and events of interest via social media, email, the Web and Apps. He has a high disposable income, most of which goes into his bank account and sits there until he buys things he needs (including food, clothing, rent and bills) or wants (such as technology gadgets, games, software, apps, magazines). He eats out frequently because it is a quick way to get food but realizes that it’s not healthy. Wants to be able to get to the gym regularly and eat healthily so that he has more energy for work and his personal ambition to start an App development company.

Maria Johnson
Maria drives to and from work every day listening to the radio or her iPod and when she gets to work spends a busy day dealing with people over the phone. She and her boyfriend are planning to get married soon, so in her spare time she looks through wedding magazines, talks to her friends about wedding plans and their honeymoon. During her lunch break’s Maria uses the Internet to research about weddings and travel destinations. She and her boyfriend have been saving money for the last 3 years for a deposit to buy a house together. When she gets home from work she mentally switches off from her job, watches TV, phones to talk to friends, checks review websites online,‘surfs’ for specials, offers or discounts on things she wants to buy, does housework and other domestic duties. Most of Maria’s discretionary spending money is spent on homewares, personal shopping, going out with friends and weekend’s away. She wants to lose weight so that she looks beautiful in her wedding dress and photos.

Amy Williams
Juggling a part-time job, university and blogging keeps Amy so busy that she rarely networks to meet new people that could be helpful with her future career as a Journalist. Amy doesn’t have a car so relies on public transport to get to and from both University and her job, which is when she researches and writes her blog, catches up with friends on social media and uses apps to organize her calendar and tasks. Amy spends most of the money she makes on phone and data charges for her mobile phone, materials, resources and stationery for Uni and is financially supported by her parents for her living expenses and some larger education costs. She wants to make better use of her time between tutorials and lectures to do things that will help her stand out from the crowd when she’s going for job interviews, but realizes that she needs to have an overall goal and plan for making this work for her.
