It’s Monday again and for some of you, this week has been more stressful than others.
Additionally, today starts an entirely new week that we know you wish was pushed back just one more day, but you have to push on and we are here to help you do it. In today’s installment of Dollars & Sense, we have got some really cool things for you to do if you happen to be in Texas that won’t cost you any money at all. Check it all out below.
Tour the Morton H. Meyerson
The acoustically renowned Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, designed by I.M. Pei, is yours to tour on selected Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 1 p.m. You can call in advance for monthly tour schedule. There, you can discover the 4,535 pipes on the Herman W. Lay Family Organ – this $1.36 million organ, crafted by C.B. Fisk Inc., is truly an acoustical wonder!
Enthusiastic and experienced volunteer guides are available to welcome visitors, school groups, conventions, families, and others for a one-hour tour detailing points of interest throughout the Meyerson.
Once a month, schedule permitting, a thirty-minute organ demonstration of the Lay Family Concert Organ is presented, followed by a tour of the Center.

Financial Tip Of The Day
Install CFL or LED bulbs Wherever It Makes Sense.
These bulbs might cost more initially, but they both have a longer life than normal incandescent bulbs and they both eat far less electricity. CFLs tend to use about 25% of the electricity of an incandescent – LEDs use about 2%. CFLs are cheaper than LEDs right now and produce better light, but not quite as good as incandescent bulbs.
