Every year, millions of people turn to the internet to get help with their finances. Many times, these people turn to personal finance blogs for help. This leads to people arguing over which are the best personal finance blogs.
Today, we will change that!
17. Minority Mindset
Minority Mindset isn’t a personal finance blog, per se. They are more a blog focused on becoming an entrepreneur, and obtaining financial freedom through that, although many of the same principles still apply here!
16. Rule One Investing
Do you remember our article about rule one investing? This site essentially covers all of the principles in their own unique way- far more than I ever could! As the name implies, the site primarily focuses on investing following the ‘Rule One’ philosophy.
15. Smart on Money
Smart on money is your typical personal finance blog. They cover all of the ways you can become financially free, invest, reduce debt etc. However, the site also goes one step further, adding in calculators to help you know whether you’re getting a good deal!
14. Finance Friday
Ok, perhaps I’m a little biased for including my own blog in this, but still. Finance Friday focuses on writing longer-form personal finance articles, to help explain concepts and help you to become financially free!
As the name implies, Finance Friday writes on a once per week basis published on a Thursday of course! (I’m just kidding, obviously it’s a Friday!)
Find out more about us, here.
13. Monevator
Monevator is a solely investing-related personal finance blog. The site’s aim is to take you from nothing, into being a top investor. Whether this is by investing in stocks, bonds and/or real estate!
12. The Fifth Person
Most of the personal finance blogs here are either American, British or Canadian. However, The Fifth Person is Asian, which often influences some of their articles!
The Fifth Person often writes articles that focus solely on investing, rather than trying to cover the entire space of investing!
11. Money
Money often write news-style blog posts focused on your finances. They have a mixture of articles that focus on individual and family finances.
Unlike many personal finance blogs however, they have specialized into just insurance, mortgages and credit cards. However, sometimes they do write more business-style and/or news-style content!
10. Bustle
Bustle is probably a surprise, and with good reason if you know the site. It isn’t a personal finance blog, but often has elements that make it as good, if not better than normal personal finance blogs!
9. Dave Ramsey
Infamous businessman, real estate investor and blogger, Dave Ramsey’s site is another typical personal finance site. Dave’s main goal is to prevent you from doing what he did- getting so much debt, you collapse!
His site is well-known for having both an investing and anti-debt stance as a way to prevent future generations from falling for the same real estate pitfalls, he did!
8. Boomer & Echo
A frequent on many best personal finance blog lists, Boomer & Echo also appears as one of my favorite personal finance blogs! Boomer & Echo was founded by a self-taught finance enthusiast, not some random guy who *thinks* they know about personal finance.
Whilst Robb Engen (the founder) does share his own finances, he often puts them into stories in his blog. This helps to explain how you can sort your personal finances out, with an example to go by- pure genius!
7. Money Aware
Money Aware is a personal finance blog started by the StepChange Debt Charity- a charity dedicated to help Brits get out of debt. Although, often the advice they give works for anyone in a developed nation.
As the name of the site suggests, the site wants to help you become more aware of your money. More specifically, the site wants to help you become more aware of your debt and eliminate it!
6. NerdWallet
NerdWallet is one of the best personal finance blogs for millennials, in my opinion. Their site is like any other personal finance blog, but aims to be the guiding hand in your finances.
Not outright telling you how to invest, or how to get the best best account, or the best interest rate. Merely acting
5. Save the Student
Save the Student, or STS for short, is a blog dedicated to helping university students make some money on the side. Whilst most of their articles are targeted towards university students, some of their articles work as perfect personal finance articles in their own right!
STS also has a side purpose of helping recently graduated university students find work, and make money on the side in the mean time!
4. Money to the Masses
Money to the Masses is a personal finance blog like no other. The aim of the site is to use Damien’s (the founder of MTTM) knowledge of being a financial adviser in order to get the best ROI on your money.
In recent years, his site has expanded out to be more than just an outlet for him to help you be your own financial planner. His site has also expanded into using credit responsibly and how to get the best tax deals!
3. Dough Roller
Dough Roller is one of the most established personal finance blogs on the internet. Dough Roller is the place to go for the best tips and tricks when it comes to calculating anything personal finance related.
Dough Roller is famous for having its: Debt Snowball Calculator, Simple Loan Payment Calculator and Latte Factor Calculators. All of these are highly recommended by just about everyone in the personal finance industry!
2. Financial Samurai
Financial Samurai is probably the most well known and well respected personal finance blogs ever created! Sam Dogen (the financial samurai) is often one of the most authoritative figures in personal finance, and his articles often reflect that!
Financial Samurai often writes longer form articles, that are more in depth than most other personal finance blogs! Indeed even more so than Forbes, Business Insider and Inc. at times!
1. Millennial Money
Grant Sabatier, the founder of Millennial Money is another perfect example of one of the best personal finance blogs. All of Grant’s posts are written based on his own experiences. Going from a net worth of only $2.26 to $1 million in five years!
Grant’s blog helps others to follow in his footsteps. For example, like Minority Mindset, Grant encourages his readers to set up a side hustle to bring in some extra income and then invest that extra income!
