Here’s a list of my favorite blogs related to personal finance, efficiency and general life improvement. I’ve personally read all of these and can attest to the quality of their content. Feel free to send me a message or leave a comment with any suggestions of resources you’ve found useful and I will gladly check them out!
Afford Anything
Paula Pant is the FI queen of real estate. She’s down to earth and really knows her stuff. There’s a lot more here than just real estate, but it was my first main source of real estate/landlord information.
Fiery Millennials
Gwen is one of the most relatable blogs I’ve seen in the personal finance space. She tries things out and whether they work or not, she tells everyone to learn from her triumphs, as well as her mistakes.
Frugalwoods
Liz details her and her husband’s journey from working and living in Boston to buying a homestead in Vermont. The high cost of living in Boston forced them to live frugally to get by and then they maintained their frugality to reach their shared goal of living on a homestead in the country with their two daughters. Liz is a fantastic writer. She’s funny, smart and details their simple life in a very relatable manner.
JL Collins
Jim began his blog and famous “Stock Series” as a letter to his daughter to give her his streamlined advice for how she should handle her money. The care and attention to detail really shows in every post.
Journey To Launch
I’ve just recently started reading Jamila’s journey. She is a down to earth mother of 3 with a goal of reaching FI by age 40. Her perspective is fresh and rewarding to follow.

Mad Fientist
Brandon has pulled the trigger and lives a FI lifestyle now. His in depth content is thought provoking and a little more on the advanced side in relation to taxes and investing.
Mr. Money Mustache
MMM is the OG blog for taking radical responsibility of your personal finances. He’s always good for a quick face punch to get your act together.
Our Next Life
Tanya is one of the best writers that I have seen in this space and the only blogger that I’m fully on the same page with her conservative path to FI. She and her husband retired in 2017 and have been loving life and showing the world what is really possible if you live life with intention.
The Power of Thrift
Thriftygal, aka Anita, worked as a lawyer until she was 33, paying off almost $100,000 worth of debt along the way and saving for retirement. She now spends her time travelling the world and living life through Operation Awesome.
Tread Lightly, Retire Early
Angela is an incredibly smart, honest and active blogger in the personal finance space. She spends a lot of her time talking about working towards FI on a lower income, while helping the environment. She also does extensive work to promote other women in the personal finance space (including a couple of mentions of yours truly *takes bow*).
Where We Be
This is the first blog that I found on this subject after reading Robert and Robin Charlton’s book (see above). Their travels are absolutely inspiring and give me the travel bug.
