The Blogroll
| These are all of the personal finance blogs that have inspired me, taught me, motivated me, and helped me save money and take charge of my finances. You'll find a permanent link to this list over there in the sidebar, and I'll update this post whenever I discover any new blogs worth adding. Adult ADD and Money - This was the first finance blog I ever read regularly, and it was the ADD aspect that drew me in. John is a small business consultant who posts helpful links and advice target to those who, like me, can identify Attention Deficit Disorder as the root of most of their financial woes. Get Rich Slowly - I've been making daily visits to J.D.'s blog for a while now, and it's probably been the most motivating and informative for me. It's through this blog that I discovered most of the links that follow. Every time I start to get down because it seems like I'm never going to do more than make ends meet, I visit this blog, and I always come away feeling motivated and optimistic about my financial future. Blogging Away Debt - This is another blog I visit whenever I need a shot of optimism. Tricia is a young wife and mother who's using blogging about the progress she's making toward paying down her debt. She's some one I can relate to a lot. Lifehack.org - A blog about productivity and getting things done, this contains a lot of good tips and tricks for making life a little easier, as well as a lot of good money-saving "hacks." Getting Finances Done - I visit this blog less regularly, but this is where I found advice on how to organize a budget that really helped me pull my own budget together. Generation X Finance - This blog is pretty new to me, but it contains a lot of good info and analysis aimed at my generation. Curbly - Not really a blog or a personal finance site, but this community is full of creative, outside-the-box ideas for inexpensive decorating and home improvement. Budget Vino - Also not a personal finance site, but a must for any wine enthusiasts on a budget. This blogger samples and reviews wines that cost a mere $10 or less, and proves that being a wine connoisseur doesn't have to be an expensive hobby. Bless him. I love a glass of wine after dinner, and thanks to this guy I can drink it without any spendy guilt. That's my list as it stands today. Like I said, I'll update it as time goes on. In the meantime, if you have any favorite personal finance sites that you think I should visit, share them with me in the comments. UPDATED 4/11/07 I've come across a few more that grabbed my interest enough to ensure that I'll return to them. Free Money Finance - This is an openly Christian finance blog that uses Biblical principles as a foundation for financial management. If you're wondering what scripture has to say about a particular financial issue, this is a good place to start looking. Money Changes Things - I'm brand new to this one, but I like the idea: once those debts are paid off, those finances are all straightened out and you've arrived at "enough," then what do you do? This blogger looks for creative ways to maintain your newly accomplished wealth, and reminds us that there's a lot more to riches than money and possessions. Gen X Personal Finance - Another Gen-Xer tailoring financial info and advice for my generation, in easy-to-understand terms. UPDATED 6/25/07: Lazy Man and Money - I have a pretty broad lazy streak myself, and I'm also pretty particular about how I spend my time, so naturally I love Lazy Man's perspective on making your money work so you don't have to.

Thanks for including my site, I'm glad to know you are a reader.
I don't know how my blogger account works, but I'm from genxfinance.
Thanks for dropping by. I just discovered your blog last week, and I've been checking back regularly since. Good stuff there, especially the real estate article--my mom's getting ready to experience that first hand, and I'm trying to prepare her not to expect to get as much for her house as she originally thought she would.
Tickled to be included. I was very self-conscious blogging about having money, since most every blog I've ever seen is about NOT having it, at least not yet. But once you achieve financial security whole new sets of issues present themselves, and I love writing about them and puzzling them through.
