Cody Smith is a regular student that goes to KEC. He is 17 and in grade 11. Everyday he wakes up and goes to school. After school he goes to work at his part time job at McDonalds which pays him minimum wage. On average he works 20 hours a week. Cody owns a cell phone (for wihich he has a contract for $65 a month for 3 years) which he pays for monthly. He also owns a car (that he saved up for and bought outright) that he needs to pay insurance for. His insurance is $127 a month. Cody favorite things to do are to play hockey (his parents really like him playing a sport so they pay for all the fees associated with it) and hang out with his friends ( he likes to go out to eat at least 2x a week and goes to the movies at least 1 every 2 weeks). Between school, work, hockey and friends, Cody is a very busy person! [|Debt clock]
