I would definitely recommend starting off Oblivion simply playing the Main Questline. The main questline is the most informing, and is quite fun. Once you spend some time in game, I would recommend occasionally doing stuff like Joining the Mages Guild quests. The quests by theirselves are dull, however, once you get past them, the mages guild questline is very entertaining.

As for being poor, I wouldn't worry about it. Yes, it sucks being poor, but it's part of the experience, in a way. Just like Skyrim, you'll eventually have more money than you know what to do with when you quest long enough.

I would also like to say it matters a little on what you play it on. Playing Oblivion on console was a poor experience for me; I didn't enjoy it. However, once I played on PC I loved it.

Those are my tips, anyway.
