Sapphire Plan
Meet Josh and ClaireJosh is Chief Executive Officer of a fast-growing biotech company. He’s 37 and single but he has a girlfriend, Claire, who’s an anaesthetist.
They don’t live together (yet) but regularly entertain together and enjoy travelling to obscure but luxurious destinations. Josh is also part-owner of a country pub.
It’s a profitable hobby he thoroughly enjoys, spending as many weekends as he can ‘going bush’ to check on his investment.
Home is an apartment in New Farm. He has a car but likes to cycle to work whenever possible. Josh is a good cook, but most nights see him eating out with Claire or a group of friends at a local restaurant.
Life’s good for Josh, and he doesn’t want it to be interrupted by what he sees as the mundane parts of life. An average month for Josh …
