While you may be about to embark on ghostly adventures, check out these links for some financial treats:

The Mysterious Overdraft Bank Magic: Ever get overdraft fees when you specifically deposited enough money in your account? Some banks count that day's debits before credits and sometimes use the largest amount first, causing multiple overdraft fees. Flexo at Consumerism Commentary explains five banks' practices.

Layoff Watch 2008: Why let yourself get down when you hear about the crushing mass layoffs happening right now? Use this website and make it a game! Track layoffs in the tech world and feel informed.

Boo! There goes your money: You spent how much on Halloween? The folks over at brass reported that people are actually spending more for Halloween this year. In this financial crisis, that is one spooky revelation.

Free treats, no trick: If you do end up overspending for Halloween, take advantage of this list of seven websites offering free entertainment — TV shows, movies, music.

Listen up, dummy: This economic crisis is probably making a lot of people feel like dummies, so what better time to get this book! Check out this review, and you can even leave a comment and have a chance to win the book.
