How to Save Money


Andre-Francois Raffray made a money-saving deal with Jeanne Calment (pictured), offering to pay the 90-year-old woman the equivalent of $400 each month for an apartment she owned. When Calment died, the apartment would belong to Raffray. But Raffray was the first to go. He passed away at age 77 after making payments each month for more than 30 years. Calment died the following year. She was 122 years old.
