Winter is on its way, here are few things to get yourself prepared for the cold weather:
🚗 For your car: Check your battery, tires, and antifreeze levels. Keep an emergency kit in your trunk with jumper cables, a blanket, ice scraper, and sand or kitty litter for traction.
🏠 For your home: Drain and shut off outdoor water lines before the first hard freeze. Have your furnace serviced before you need it. Check weatherstripping on doors and windows and stock up on heating fuel if you use propane or wood.
❄️ For your finances: Heating bills in Montana can run significantly higher from November through March. If that tends to create budget stress, the next few weeks are a good time to start setting money aside before the first bill arrives.
