Not So Scary Finances

Halloween is the season of spooky stories, but your finances don’t have to be one of them. Whether you're worried about budgeting, saving, or falling for scams, the truth is, with the right tools and habits, even the scariest money worries can be tamed.

Here’s how to take the fright out of your finances this fall:

Small savings add up! Whether it’s retirement, an emergency, or a big expense, planning ahead helps take the sting out of the unexpected. Setting up automatic transfers through direct deposit can help you grow your savings without even thinking about it, even if it's just $10 a week.  

Scammers love a good scare. Fraudsters are sneaky, especially this time of year. If you receive suspicious texts, links, or emails asking for personal info, don't fall for their schemes. Learn more about fraud prevention here.

A budget isn’t a curse, it’s control. Tracking where your money goes puts you in control and gives you peace of mind. Think of it as your personal financial spellbook: simple, effective, and designed to work in your favor. Need help? Meet with a financial counselor and brew up a budget that works for you. 

Don’t let debt and fraud drain your funds. Set up account alerts for low balances or unusual activity so you can act quickly and protect your hard-earned money.

Keep tabs on your money anytime, anywhere. Stay one step ahead and check your account regularly to catch potential issues before they turn into financial nightmares.
