What personal finance blogs/websites do you read?

[ohgillian]

Someone mentioned Mr. Money Mustache recently, which I'd never heard of. I sometimes look at money.cnn.com, but that's about it. What blogs/sites do you read about personal finance?

I like Reddit PF:

www.financialsamurai.com

www.madfientist.com

www.frugalwoods.com

I also like some Reddit. I am not a big fan of MMM, but I prefer to read the posts in the MMM forums. For investing, I like fool.com

I like Frugalwoods. MMM makes me want to poke my eyes out. I am also now hooked on all of the finance/diary series' on Refinery29, though they aren't really tips or anything.

I skim Bogleheads once in a while, that's about it.

I lurk on the forums at biggerpockets.com, which focus mostly on real estate investing. We are thinking about buying our first rental property, and there are many knowledgeable posters over there.

I like frugalwoods, Mr. Money Mustache (mostly for the forums), and have just started getting into madfientist.

I follow Frugalwoods but I think they have turned into a hate read for me. It seems like they live such an anti-social isolated life since they moved to the homestead and they are depriving themselves of everything. Not trying to turn into GOMI, but am I the only one noticing this?

I can't get interested in their homesteading adventure. A whole post of hand wringing about having to purchase *new* boots was excessive. Also major side eye whenever she flew last year while recovering from a stomach virus. So many germs!

I've been searching through the Rockstar Finance blog directory for something new to read.

In all honesty, I haven't read the Frugalwoods much since they moved to Vermont. They were excessive I thought prior to the move, so I agree that their new life of penny-pinching isolation is probably not for the masses. I def roll my eyes at the super frugal blogs...including crazy over dramatizing every purchase. More entertainment/train-wreck reading.

Brunch and budget. I especially like the podcasts.

Frugalwoods have some decent ideas, but other stuff just makes me roll my eyes. They claim to hike, but haven't needed new hiking boots in years (or sneakers). We have to replace our boots every few years as they no longer have treads and aren't safe.

Nope, you're not the only one who thinks that. I wholeheartedly agree.

Zips up flame retardant suit, but I still like to browse MrMM.

A new one to add: www.bitchesgetriches.com/

I am also an MMM reader and think the MMM forums are pretty top-notch, particularly for 201-level financial advice.

HUGE boglehead fan, too!

Oh yeah, WSJ's Jason Zweig is great, too - really superb financial journalist. I'd also suggest subscribing to the WSJ or at least following them on social.

I go to MMM for the forum more than anything, and frequent Post-Fire and Real Estate Landlording.  Post-Fire gives me inspiration.  

I religiously listened to Dave Ramsey, but not so much in the past 6 months because I've been listening to another podcast (Freedom Real Estate).  

I used to go to bogleheads.com, but since we're not as active with our Vanguard accounts, I lost interest.  I sometimes listen to Better Off (Jill Schlesinger) and Mad Money (stocks).

Of course, Money Matters.
