5 Finance Blogs Actually Worth Reading

by debt kid on September 19, 2007

I don’t have a whole ton of spare time at the moment as most readers know, but there are a few finance blogs out there that I find myself reading from time to time because, well, they are good! These are my top 5 and the only ones I read religiously (using google reader of course. You are using google reader, right? : )

In no particular order…

My top 5

1. Clever Dude – Two reasons I like Clever Dude. 1. He’s Clever and 2. Like me he’s found writing has helped him deal with his debt.

blogging away debt

2. BloggingAwayDebt – Tricia over at Blogging Away Debt always has great down dirty real life tips and experiences about dealing with debt. She is almost down to 20K in debt, from starting at over 37K.

get rich slowly

3. Get Rich Slowly – JD’s stuff is always great. We were talking awhile back about doing some sort of business contest, but it never got off the ground. No worries though, I’m doing OK and GRS continues to be a great finance blog. His latest post about budgeting with an irregular income I think was written just for me!

dumb little man

4. Dumb Little Man – This blog should really be Smart Little Man….maybe that was taken. In any case while posts here aren’t always finance related…many are, and the content kicks butt. His business posts, like this one on referrals is the stuff I really love.

ncn blog

5. NCN Blog – No Credit Needed? That’s what I want! No credit would mean no debt! NCN has a very practical blog about all things finance related. Plus, if you’ve ever listened to his podcast, you just know he might be the next Dave Ramsey.

What say you!?

What 5 finance/debt related blogs SHOULD I be reading?

Snore. You have now monetized your blog. Congrats.
It would be so mucher nicer and in the interest of full dislosure to tell people that you are getting paid in order to endorse some of these sites.

NO SHAME. If you were into full disclosure.

Please don’t claim this as your nadir. That would be wrong.

Blech, on the morgage brokers you dealt with,

Snore? Um no…sorry. I just like these blogs. No shame? I have nothing to hide. Some people…do you really think those HUGE blogs would pay for a small write up here? Honestly…think before you write.

Man, I’m in great company there! And when you get your first comment troll, then you know you’ve hit it big too! I wonder if people think that all the links I give out are paid too? I wish they were! (but then it wouldn’t be any fun).

One thing though, I don’t consider my site huge. Of course, I think most bloggers are amazed that anyone is reading their site, much less hundreds or thousands of people each day. Consider it low self-esteem on my part to think that my stuff is good enough to enlighten, encourage or inspire someone.

Thank you for the nice words, debt kid. I really need a clever logo, don’t I? LOL.

notahater – FYI – Me, pay to advertise my site? I don’t have any money :P

Free Credit Repair December 2, 2008 at 9:47 am

Just recently, an astronaut on an EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity, or spacewalk) lost hold of her tool bag, and it floated out to the heavens, never to be seen again (well, except maybe by aliens.) She apparently hadn’t tethered it to her space suit, and many people, in a similar fashion, lose hold of their debt management and budgeting and need free credit repair. One missed bill can become two, two to three, and then you have real trouble on your hands. So many people have to deal with all the pains of credit struggles – the sleepless nights, the harassing phone calls and letters, the stigma, the inability to purchase a home or a car except at exorbitant interest; it can be too much to bear. However, do not believe for an instant that there is no way out. We live in the information age, and credit repair information is out there, just waiting for you to learn how to fix your credit score. The road to a better credit score can be long and tiresome, but it is a journey well worth taking. There are so many online resources for free credit repair, that not looking into it is just not acceptable.
