Goals & Outlook

Liberal and artsy, Daisy likes to go to Salvation Army with her friends for treasure hunting and bargain hunting. She likes Salvation Army because they have many unique items for low prices. She does not have a car, but one of her friends from the co-op where she lives does, so they go shopping together almost every weekend. They enjoy the thrift shop environment and have fun searching for unique clothes and shoes.

Her parents pay her room and board, and tuition is paid by the student loans. Any deascretionay spending is from money she saved from summer jobs. As an artist, she also sometimes sells her paintings to local people on the street to earn some extra money to buy her painting tools, but because she earns relatively little, she usually gets those tools at thrift stores. She is adventurous and always likes to try something new; therefore, she does not care how good the tools are. She is an artist!

Daisy is very concerned about the environment, so she tries to limit her consumption as much as possible. Her co-op is very active in recycling.
