This being the very first article, I thought it best to kick of with a few fundamentals of why we need to save. Indeed, when we are young and starting out in new careers, there are a mind blowing number of financial issues to consider. Saving is simply one of these.

But how important is it to save when there are so many better ways of spending our money? Sure, life must be enjoyed and spending your hard earned money on cool things is always very enjoyable. But, never underestimate the importance of saving. Indeed saving is the only way of creating wealth and therefore improving your long-term financial well being.

Gareth Jones

Name:
Gareth ‘The Chameleon’ Jones

Age:
25 and some pieces of pie.

Current Occupation:
Storyboard Artist

So what is exactly is it that you do?
Apart from moonlighting as the guardian of the Gate of Endor ( a portal through which the souls of the damned occasionally find their way to Winnipeg), the storyboard team fleshes the brilliant scripts out into visual documents. We create a cinematically engaging template, kind of like a comic book, from which the animators will create and bring the shots to life. Basically we’re visual storytellers.

Lauren Beukes

Name: Lauren “squirrel” Beukes

Age: 31

Current Occupation: Head Writer on URBO

So what exactly is it that you do? I work with two other crazy writers in Team Scripticon. We come up with the story for the series, planning out meticulously where it’s going, write the scripts, edit the scripts, and develop ideas for new series. We each write one script a week and then edit each other’s work to make the jokes funnier, tighten up the story and generally make it more awesome than it is already.
