Personal Development

Seven personal finance blogs to check out

These seven sites each have a different take on personal finance. Here they are in no particular order:

1. Wise Bread

Wise Bread is all about just what their subtitle says: Living large on a small budget.

2. My Money Blog

This blog tracks the 30-year-old author’s net worth and investments, many of which involve “borrowing free money from credit cards.”

3. Career Girls

While Nicole explores a lot of great topics on Career Girls, she has a new series of posts that focus on personal finance.

4. Well-Heeled with a Mission

Similar to My Money Blog, wellheeled, as she goes by, tracks her savings and money-related goals. Unlike My Money Blog, she talks about her various shopping trips and all the shopping she wants to do!

5. Money Under 30

David focuses on personal finance for twentysomethings, which let’s face it, differs quite a bit from personal finance for fiftysomethings.

Get Rich Slowly is truly one of my favorite blogs. J.D. posts are less about personal finance and more about a better lifestyle through frugal living.

7. The Simple Dollar

Trent went from being down and out to fixing his finances in a major way. He shares a lot of great advice in series 31 Days to Fix Your Finances.
