I want to become an economist and a financial advisor. How many years of school is that?
My goal is to own a business that does economic forecasting as well as finacial advising for individuals. I am just wondering if I can double major, and get one masters degree? Or, would I need 2 masters degrees for this?
Also, I figure this is probably 7 years of schooling…um..any idea of how much money I would have to save up for this?

Get your bachelor’s degree in economics with a minor in finance. Then you get an MBA in finance or a masters in finance.
The difference is that MBA students seldom get a GA. But if your grades are good, when you go for a regular masters, you can often get a GA which means free tuition and a stipend.
The amount of money you need to save depends on the school you go to.
also be aware that many people are investing on their own and have ditched their financial advisers. Because it turne out that anyone could have lost 40% in the stock market and they did not need to pay some one to do that.
And far too many advisers gave their client’s money to Bernie Madoff, doing nothing to earn their fees. Myself, without an adviser only lost 2% last year. My point is that business is going to be slow for financial advisers for a long time. Many are looking for work right now.
