Clever Posts Of The Week – October 3rd

October 3, 2014

October kind of snuck up on me…..but here it is.  My wife is a big fan of Halloween, dressing up in costumes, decorating the house, and anything else that goes along with the season.  Last year she noticed that Halloween fell on a weekend night this year, so she made me promise that we could have a party.  I’m just waiting for her to kick into “prepare for party” mode.  I’m not so much of a fan, but I’m sure I’ll have a good time.

Have you started thinking about your Halloween plans?  What do you normally do?  While you’re thinking about it, check out my favorite 5 finance blog posts of the week:

  1. 4 Things You Shouldn’t Buy With Your Credit Card from Money Smart Guides
  2. 12 Tiny Habits That Can Lead to Incredible Wealth from Escaping Dodge
  3. I was Ripped Off by a Nun from Messy Money
  4. Do Lower Prices Equate To Lower Motivation? from Money Beagle
  5. Easy Ways to Build Up Your Savings from Prairie Eco Thrifter

    Hey, what a pleasant surprise to see you’ve highlighted one of my posts, thank you!

    As for parties, I’m like you. I prefer the “party of two” as I like to call it around our house. However, my Mr. is very social and loves to have people over. I get all tense and stressed out leading up to it, but once it starts, I have a lot of fun.

    Hang in there!
    Ree

    Thanks so much for choosing my post! Good luck with the party. We live in an area with millions of kids so I need a few weeks just to prepare for trick-or-treating.
