10 Personal Finance Blogs You Should Be Reading
When time permits, I enjoy visiting these sites and blogs that deal with finance and/or frugality. Even if I can’t see myself doing exactly the same as the authors all of the time, it always pays to listen to other perspectives and let that be a jumping off point for your own creativity. In no particular order, here are the sites I subscribe to or have bookmarked.
The Simple Dollar, the author of this blog, Trent Hamm shares his own financial journey and offers his readers a wealth of information, including a free downloadable ebook. I particularly enjoy the very lively comments section.
Get Rich Slowly by J. D. Roth is similar to The Simple Dollar although I feel it skews slightly more to the investment side of things. According to the author, this blog is about “sensible personal finance” and it delivers on that promise.
I Will Teach You to be Rich is a bit different from a lot of blogs about personal finance in that author Ramit Sethi focuses more on what he calls “the big wins” rather than across the board penny pinching.
WiseBread is a multi-authored site that offers a wide variety of articles on personal finance. The site has a fairly active forum where readers can discuss and debate topics related to money and beyond.
5 Dollar Dinners – Erin Chase shares her quest to serve her family wholesome food for $5 a dinner. While I’m still not convinced this is always possible for families with older children that eat more, this site is a great source of ideas.
A Full Cup – While I am personally not a huge couponer, if you’d like to learn more about how to get the most out of coupons and find out where the deals are, this is one of the best sites out there.
No Credit Needed the author, simply known as NCN writes about debt reduction and living a life without using credit.
Finance for a Freelance Life by Mrs. Micah talks about the challenges of starting newlywed life off on the right financial food, especially tricky when student loans are part of the package.
Man vs Debt by Adam Baker is summed up by the tagline “Sell your crap. Pay off your debt. Do what you love”. Baker and his wife have been so successful at this that they’ve been able to start traveling around the world with their infant daughter.
Squawkfox Kerry K Taylor writes about “living simply, spending wisely, and investing intelligently impacts your health, wealth, and self.” She also offers a free 92 page ebook on frugal food and fitness.

Thanks for the websites. I’m curious tho, is this content just here to get people to click on the link to download the prescription card so you have my contact info so you can sell me a healthplan?

Re: the prescription discount card, you are required to provide an email address so that the card can be mailed to you but no other information such as phone number or address is required.
