Show Me the Money!

I'm a total nerd and love to read finance and money blogs. In case you share my same vein of dorkiness, here are my faves:

1. My Money Blog - I just like seeing how this guy invests and how he talks about it all over the Web. Actually, a very interesting read.

2. Get Rich Slowly - Lots of good articles relating to personal finance. I love reading this stuff! Learn a lot, too. :)

3. Make Love, Not Debt - A great "relationship finance blog," as the writer declares. Is it totally voyeuristic that I just like observing other people's money?

4. The Simple Dollar - The current entry about the evil costs of a honeymoon rings so true to me right now! I love what's written about it. It's so true!

5. Wise Bread - I fell in love with this one on the tagline alone: Living large on a small budget. I think that's my new personal motto. I've gotten some great ideas from this blog and just have fun reading it!

Enjoy!

Debt-Proof Living

I first heard about Mary Hunt from one of my friends who has similar obsessions. Mary has a daily e-newsletter called Everyday Cheapskate that I've been addicted to for many years now. I love reading her daily tips on everyday things (from household fixes to ways to save money), her financial advice, and her all-around good sense.

I've also read her Debt-Proof Living books and they are a great resource. Once I got married, I read Debt-Proof Your Marriage and I love her way of thinking. It really is just good common sense when it's boiled down, but she has a wonderful no-nonsense outlook on savings and spending. I love finding new tips to recycle objects and new ways to cut corners and save money (since I love to do that, and love to bargain shop!). I find these tips especially helpful right now as our economy continues to downturn. I read her column every morning, and save the ones I want to refer back to in a folder in my e-mail account. Perfect for future reference (and if you have a gmail account, easy to search for later!).

Check out her site and sign up for her daily e-mail! You won't be sorry!
