Dust off your skeleton costumes and stock up on the sweets, because yes it is Halloween weekend. In honour of the witching hour, we’ve been taking a look at some of our greatest financial fears this week from hellish housemates to mail scams to identity theft. As I plaster on the face paint, let’s take a look at some other ghoulish highlights from this week…
First to the carnivals. Beating Broke were lovely enough to feature us in this week’s Carnival of Personal Finance. Moneycrashers opened their arms and included us in this week’s Festival of Frugality. 20 and Engaged also included us in the latest Yakezie Carnival. This week’s TotallyMoney Carnival went live over at Curb Your Consumerism. Remember to submit your post for next week, which may be picked by Modern Tightwad!
