Suzie got her first job walking dogs. She received $15 in her pay packet, which she put towards buying her dog Joseph, whom she rescued from the RSPCA at the cost of $101.

The best money advice Suzie ever received was from her father when she was about 16. He told her to always save 10 percent of her money, even if it's a cash gift from somebody, and to always pay yourself first before anybody else.

If she was down to her last dollar, Suzie said she would probably have to spend it on some Shmackos for her dog Joseph.
