It’s early October, which means we’ve officially entered the scary season! Fear not, your favorite finance checklist is here to help you out.

1. Get banned and loaded for a Halloween horror movie marathon

There’s no better way to spend Halloween than keeping yourself ready on the couch with a bowl of popcorn as you dig your way through a number of classic horror movies.

And what makes it so much more scary is seeing it in HD! But before you do that, first check your current internet plan to make sure it allows high definition streaming so you don’t chew through your data.

2. Avoid all rookie road trip traps

Hopefully, with COVID restrictions being relaxed soon, you may want to get out of town. But before you head out, first make sure that your car insurance is in order so that you can avoid any unexpected surprises.

You may even want to get roadside assistance while you’re at it. The last thing you want is to break down in the middle of nowhere and become the main character of a horror movie, right? Okay, we kids, we kids! Seriously, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

3. Banish your bad credit history

If your crooked credit is limiting your style, now is the time to get it in shape. There are many things you can do to improve your credit score, but a good place to start is to pay off any outstanding debts.

When you have amassed multiple debts, consider a debt consolidation loan. With a debt consolidation loan, you can combine all of your debts into one loan – so instead of paying interest on each individual debt, you only have to worry about one interest rate.
