Whether you are wondering how others apply common financial advice to pay off debt or get rich, or you’re just nosey about other people’s financial reports, there is a blog for you.

Like many financial bloggers, Anna Barker graduated with debt that got her interested in all things finance. She started the blog to make personal finance information accessible to a wider audience.
The blog covers budgeting, investing, saving, and making money.
What makes her blog stand out is that she occasionally writes posts for teens, a group that is frequently left out of money talk.
4. Lazy Man and Money

The blog Lazy man is an anonymous journal that has been active since 2006. Besides passive income reports, the blogger shares his experiences with investing, saving, and more.
What makes his content unique is the consumer protection category on the blog.
Some products may not have a scam written all over them, but they can hurt one’s finances and sometimes even health. This is where “the lazy man” comes to save the day.
5. Well Kept Wallet

Deacon Hayes’ story of how he started the blog will sound familiar: like many other blogs on finance, he wanted to get rid of his debt and document the journey to becoming debt-free.
The combination of his experience with managing his own finances and his work as a financial planner make his blog a valuable and informative resource on everything personal finance.
You’ll find out where to get free stuff on your birthday, how much money to keep in your 401k, get passive income ideas, and much more.

Fitnancials is a blog started by a Millennial woman who wanted to pay off her debts.
It’s been active since 2013 and it has transformed into more than just a blog: it inspires women worldwide to take control of their finances.
Find out what you can change by following the budgeting, saving, and making money tips from the blog for a single month.
We come from different backgrounds and sometimes may not even understand why we spend impulsively, splurge when we cannot afford it, or how to be financially responsible adults. Monetary troubles sneak into every part of our lives and affect our relationships, mental health, and often the overall quality of life.
Our personal finances include others. Whether we want to collaborate with them, share living expenses, or need their help, personal finance gets most complex when there’s more than one person involved.
Bloggers’ stories have patterns: most bloggers are either about getting out of debt or retiring early. I’ve been amazed over and over how fast people can get out of debt simply by creating a plan and following it religiously.
There are also a lot of successful blogs whose target audience is women of all ages, reminding us that gender disparities in finance still exist.
