Don’t Let Your Finances Haunt You: Spooky-Season Tips for Students
Avoid the Scary Debt Monster

Beware the Temptation of Impulse Spending
The temptation of sales and seasonal splurges can be as powerful as a witch’s spell. Resist impulse purchases by making a list and sticking to it—your future self will thank you!
Frankenstein Your Budget Together
Piecing together a budget might seem like a monstrous task, but it’s worth it! Track your spending, plan for big expenses, and ensure you have enough left for spooky fun without breaking the bank.
Beware of Zombie Subscriptions
Zombie subscriptions—those recurring charges that just won’t die—can slowly drain your funds. Review all your subscriptions and cancel any that you no longer use or need.
Dig Up Deals on Student Discounts
Don’t be afraid to ask for student discounts! Many stores and services offer spooktacular savings that can slash your spending. Always carry your student ID and be sure to check online for deals.
Wishing you a successful, stress-free semester. Take care of yourself and enjoy all that fall has to offer.
Stay spooky!
