She's a partner in a Law firm...but check out the financial acumen...from her statement.
PG: 11th of September 1995. Julia, you first joined Slater & Gordon when?
JG: I think it was the 12th of October 1987; it was certainly October 1987. ************* PG: Yeah, I see. Sorry. Julia, you own property in Victoria?
JG: Yes, I do.
PG: And when did you acquire that?
JG: In May 1991 and it settled in July 1991.
JG: ...Slater & Gordon extended to me a loan of $40,000, which I used for the deposit, and the rest of it I borrowed through the same branch of the Commonwealth Bank... ************* JG: ...Then substantial renovations got done on the property last year...(1994)
JG: ...I at that stage borrowed an additional $20,000 from the bank to pay for the renovations. I had occasion to ask Geoff if I could be pre-paid, which he did. I don't recall the amount. But that was recouped out of my pay for the first six months of this year. ************
So...
Starts at a Law Firm in October 1987
Approx 4 years later (May 1991) buys a house without having saved enough money to put up a deposit...so gets a loan of $40,000 from Slater and Gordon for the deposit.
Approx 3 years later (1994) she gets the renovations done...gets a loan of $20,000 from the CBA and an advance on her pay because she still hasn't saved any money.
So 7 years after starting at Slater and Gordon and now a partner, shes getting advances on her pay to pay for renovations because she has nothing saved up...What the!!!
