Must Read – The Best Blogs About Finances

The internet is littered with blogs about money and finances. Could it be something to do with supply and demand? Let’s face it – we do need the help! We’re not taught much about money in school, and we definitely need to know a fair bit about many different financial issues just to keep our heads above water these days. just look at the foreclosure rate as an example – up 50% since last year. But which of these money blogs are worth reading?

I have been reading a fairly comprehensive blog about saving money, investing, reducing debt, paying off credit cards, and creative refinancing ideas. 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 investment advice, financial advice, mortgage rates predictions, financial planning, debt reduction, and how to be debt free. 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?

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.

You can follow several blogs using RSS feeds, which saves time and effort in surfing around the internet to each blog. In general, I would recommend keeping an eye on the blog at moneytalksabout.com/blog, because it does exactly that for you, and the posts which are made directly to the Money Talks blog itself, in between the syndicated posts, are always good value too.

I think that just about everyone 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. Of course, money blogs are not the only way to gain this information, but they are convenient. Generally they are written in a readable style and break the information into small enough chunks that you don’t get overwhelmed.

Now, this handful of recommendations is hardly the definitive list of money blogs! In any case, new money blogs come into existence every day, and there will be hundreds of undiscovered gems available elsewhere. Go ahead and add a comment with the URL of your favorites, and why you like them. Together we can pinpoint the best money blogs to be reading today. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
