Andrew was very lucky to get a government grant to study zoology but his sister, Rosie, had to take out a bank loan for her university course. After graduating, Andrew got a job with a wildlife charity and was lucky again when a wealthy animal-lover decided to make a large donation. This meant he could go to the Antarctic to do some research. Rosie went to work for a bank and paid back the money she had borrowed in instalments. She worked hard and was promoted so she was able to save a lump sum to use as a deposit on her first flat. Andrew never bought a flat but by the end of his life, he had a lot of savings in the bank and he left all of this money to the wildlife charity in his will.
