  Do people still get super dressed up for the opera?

  0 0 You are welcome to wear whatever you choose, but make sure to bring a wrap or sweater. It's a huge theater, 2800 seats, and they tend to pump the air conditioning to keep the air well circulated. Odds are, you'll be by a vent so be prepared!

  Are there financial advisors for people with not much money?

  0 0 That's the $64,000 question. Most advisors charge in some way- this lessens the amount you can potentially gain. I've been looking for the same thing for years without success. Depending on your needs (debt relief, retirement, savings) it may be simpler to find folks in your friendship circle that manage their money well and can help navigate your way. Or, we could start a club filled with like-minded individuals to support one another and split research time!

  How much money do you save?

  0 0 If you can, just like Mike said, as much as possible, but even $10 a week helps. I save 20% per week straight into Savings, and 20% into retirement accounts every week. Sounds like a lot, but know this- the savings account is actually lived on for 10 weeks a year when my contracts are up. I have not given myself a raise in 9 years. Every time my income has gone up (3% usually a year), I up my savings amount. It means if I were unemployed long term, hopefully I could easily slide back into less living as I normally try to live on about 60% of what I actually make. Best advice ever? Don't spend more than you make. Period. Minchen answered in Finance/Insure/Legal over 2 years ago Answer, comment & read 6 more answers »
