Dear Students,

Whether you’re a freshman or senior, it’s always good to plan your financial future, especially as you accumulate student loans during your veterinary school years.

For instance, what will your student loan payments be? As a working vet, how many appointments per day equate to the salary you need to accommodate your lifestyle and expenses? Will you have any income left to save?

Sponsored by VPI Pet Insurance, David E. Lee, DVM, MBA developed the Personal Financial Simulator, an online, interactive simulator dedicated to assisting you in illustrating the basic concepts of, and developing your own, personal budget.

The Personal Financial Simulator is catered specifically for veterinary students. There are eight basic categories:

• Student Loan Debt
• Salary
• Credit Cards
• Auto Lease vs. Buy
• Home Expenses
• Retirement Savings
• Personal Savings
• Summary Expenses

The Personal Financial Simulator calculates everything for you. Predict your salary based on productivity, determine whether a new car fits in your budget, and get an idea of how much income is left over after estimating your monthly expenses and taxes.

Visit the Personal Financial Simulator today and get a head-start on your future.

Good luck and here’s to a great year from all of us at VPI Pet Insurance.
