More Of The Best New Blogs About Money
Where are all the money blogs? Long time passing … just joking, there are hundreds, thousands of money blogs out there. Nobody could possibly follow all of them. So, which ones are worth reading?
I have been on a crazy quest lately. Crazy because in reality the task is endless - finding other blogs about money. Many people are running blogs about finances on the internet, but some of them are utter rubbish. Honestly, if you follow some of the advice from these so called "experts" - or at least you'd hope someone blogging on a topic was an expert, but then again, who knows … but anyway, follow some of this advice and you'll be broke in no time! It's important to educate yourself about money, but make sure you're getting your education from somewhere useful. Garbage in, garbage out, and all that.
As part of my non-comprehensive random-walk survey of money blogs online, may I present a small selection of the results for your delectation? I have avoided the obvious mega-blogs powered by media and other vested interests. read them at your peril. But apart from that, we range from the tiny and specific to the eclectic and very amusing. Enjoy.
I have been reading a fairly comprehensive blog about financial advice, personal finances, mortgage advice, financial news, investment advice, financial advice, mortgage rates predictions, financial planning, debt reduction, and how to be debt free. The general level of intelligence in the posts is a notch above the average internet page. One of the problems with the internet is that any fool can write and publish any article on any topic, and Google's quality checking alogrithm doesn't measure the intelligence of the content, just its relevance and uniqueness.
Here's a neat little blog covering a range of financial topics including financial advice, personal finances, mortgage advice, financial news, credit cards, debt consolidation, refinancing advice, investment and wealth building. It's pretty new, so we shall see how it develops, but the start is promising. There is some original thought going in here - I know! Remarkable, isn't it?
I think that most consumers could benefit from reading about financial advice, personal finances, mortgage advice, financial news, investment advice, financial advice, mortgage rates predictions, financial planning, debt reduction, and how to be debt free on a regular basis. Money blogs are not the only way to gain this information, but they are convenient, provide bite-sized chunks of information, and if you choose well, provide reasonable quality information. Generally they are written in a readable style and break the information into small enough chunks that you don't get overwhelmed.
I would recommend keeping an eye on the blog at moneytalksabout.com/blog. This blog pulls together RSS feeds from several other good quality money blogs, which saves time and effort in surfing around the internet to each blog. There are good quality original posts from time to time, as well, and Money Talks has a good reputation for no-nonsense content.
As you can imagine, this handful of recommendations is not going to cover the full gamut of money blogs. Quite apart from the existing crowd, new money blogs come into existence every day. There will be hundreds of undiscovered gems available elsewhere. Please add a comment with the URL of your favorite blogs about saving money, investing, reducing debt, paying off credit cards, creative refinancing ideas, interest rates predictions, debt consolidation, refinancing, investing, reducing expenses, reducing monthly payments, vehicle refinancing, and wealth creation, and tell me why you like them. I look forward to hearing your thoughts - and learning something new!
