Must Read - The New Blogs About Finances
The internet is loaded with blogs about money. Let’s face it - we need the help! We’re not taught much about money in school, and we definitely need to know a fair bit about financial issues just to keep our heads above water these days. But which of these blogs are worth reading?
I like this blog, which covers 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. There are some very thoughful posts in here, and it’s rare that you find a money blog these days that actually says something you don’t already know. Well, it’s rare for me, and I am sure it’s rare for you, my discriminating reader, as well.
Some blogs try to cover to broad an area, and you find posts about basketball and baby poop interspersed with the financial articles. This one is not like that. It’s broad in the range of financial topics it tackles, but remain focused on money, finances, and investing.
I don’t like to play favorites, but this new blog is shaping up to be one of mine, I think. It’s pretty comprehensive, tackling making money, saving money, investing money, refinancing advice, debt reduction, debt consolidation and financial independence, and I am looking forward to seeing how it develops. I think you need a broad mix of topics to truly cover planning for financial independence, and a range including investment advice, financial advice, mortgage rates predictions, financial planning, debt reduction, and how to be debt free is just the ticket.
I like the references to authors like Suze Orman - it’s always good to see bloggers making references of any kind, rather than spouting opinions as though they have sone God-given right to give advice ex cathedra. And Suze’s advice is good and solid, timeless no matter what chaos is breaking loose in the financial markets.
I’m deviating a little here, because generally I go for broad-based money blogs which offer a selection of topics, posting about investment advice, financial advice, mortgage rates predictions, financial planning, debt reduction, and how to be debt free. In this case, though, I’m making an exception. Sometimes, a tightly focused blog can give you more detail than a broader blog, and that can be very valuable in itself.
This is a blog about credit cards - credit cards, debt consolidation, gift credit cards, credit card interest rates, best credit cards, credit card debt, credit card payments, credit card issuers, and how to reduce credit card debt. When you take a topic like credit cards, it is quite fascinating to delve into the depths of knowledge about a laser-focused topic. Gift credit cards, for example - I had never given them a second thought, but the pitfalls there are incredible! Credit cards are one of the largest financial hurdles in our modern life, and one of the most poorly-understood mass financial instruments. Any education about credit cards is good, but this blog is particularly comprehensive.
In general, 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, and the posts which are made directly to the Money Talks blog itself, in between the syndicated posts, are always good value.
I think that most consumers could benefit from reading about 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.
Of course, this handful of recommendations is hardly the be-all and end-all of money blogs. New money blogs come into existence every day, and there will be hundreds of undiscovered gems available elsewhere. Feel free to add a comment with the URL of your favorites, and why you like them. We can all help one another to sort the wheat from the chaff, and together we can pinpoint the best money blogs to be reading today.
