Bonus: Personal Finance Blog Aggregators. It’s often inefficient to visit each individual blog on a one on one basis – and a lot of the time smaller blogs may really only have one or two good articles. The solution to this problem is to find blog aggregators, or websites that gather content from a large number of good personal finance sites and centralize them. There are at least two good ones: Personalfinanceblogs.com and Camp FIRE Finance’s directory of blogs.
These blogs offer a wonderful variety of frugal living and personal finance advice, all with their own unique perspectives. Among them, you are sure to find the perfect one for you.
