Blog Stars



Other personal finance blogs are a great source of information. They are free to read, and the people behind them usually have a real passion and hunger for personal finance. They are up to date, and in the moment, talking of their own journeys in finance. Their uniqueness and originality is totally fantastic, and I always find them interesting to read. They give great financial advice, recommend even more blogs to read, contain great stories about real people and their finances, as well as advising on which personal finance books to read.

Here are a few blogs which I think are truly excellent:

Money Saving Expert blog: Martin Lewis is the main man in the UK, when it comes to personal finance. All of his methods are up to date and he has written excellent books to help people with their finances. His site Money Saving Expert is the most visited financial site in the UK, with about 3 million visitors per month, and growing. I always consult the website before making my purchases, and when formulating my financial strategies, to get the most up to date information and to ensure I am getting a good deal.

Blog Maverick: This, as far as I know, is the only blog written and regularly updated by a billionaire! Mark Cuban has achieved much in his life and is happy to tell everyone how he did it. If he can achieve so much in his life and still find time to blog, then anyone can find time in a busy schedule to make progress on their goals. Cuban shoots straight from the hip and tells it like it is. It's like having a billionaire mentor.

Budgets are sexy: This is a site run by my friend J.Money. He’s a great guy and a personal finance living legend, who always makes time to answer queries. It's clear that he loves the topic and genuinely wants to help people to improve their finances. I came across his site when I did a search for bloggers who listed The Richest Man in Babylon as one of their top books. He named a new book I will teach you to be rich, to be his best financial book of all time. I always listen to advice from good sources, so yesterday when I saw the book had finally been released in the UK, I got it, and I will write a review when I have finished  reading it. If not for J's blog, I wouldn't even have heard of this book.

There are so many personal finance blogs out there, just do a search for “personal finance blogs” on the internet. My mind has an insatiable hunger for personal finance information, and with all of these blogs out there, I can always get a massive dose of financial education whenever I need it.

J.Money from Budgets Are Sexy recommends the following blogs as good reading:
