We can all benefit from a little advice and fresh perspective on finances. But who should you follow?
Top five US finance blogs of 2025
1. Money Crashers
A financial education blog for anyone who makes and spends money. Money Crashers covers everything you need to know about money management, including reducing your personal debt and making long-term investments. But the team doesn’t stop there – they even go so far as to school you on real estate and how to start a small business, even picking apart economic and public policy that could help or hurt us. Their best piece of financial advice is as simple as their lessons on frugality: always spend less than what you make. If you don’t, managing your money will always be a struggle.
2. Afford Anything
A blog about growing wealth rather than pinching pennies, Paula Pant, the globetrotter, entrepreneur and investor behind Afford Anything is trying to teach you how to shatter your limits and use your finances to create freedom. Not for the avaricious, Afford Anything is all about ruthlessly eliminating expenses that don’t matter in order to spend freely on the few things that do. Pant’s whole theory is based on one very radical idea: “You can’t afford everything. But you can afford anything.”
3. Budgets are sexy
“Budgets = Confidence = Sexy”. That’s the philosophy of J. Money – the anonymous mohawked silhouette behind Budgets are Sexy. One of the best-loved personal finance blogs in the industry, J. Money wants people to stop and “pay attention” to their money. So whether you’re looking to learn more about budgeting, debt, family finances, saving, and even side hustling, his wit and quick reads offer a much needed break from the more verbose financial blogs.
4. Christian Personal Finance
A moral take on personal finance, Bob Lotich’s Christian Personal Finance is a great read for those looking to ground their approach to finance on Christian principles around money. While typically aimed at a religious audience, there’s lots for everyone to take away from this blog, so expect great money-saving tips, top practical advice and a deep understanding of how we can all use money for good. After all, nobody can give money if they don’t have money.
5. College Investor
An impressive financial resource for young adults and professionals, The College Investor is the classic student finance blog. America’s Millennial Money Expert™ and Student Loan Debt Expert™ (yes, they’re actually trademarked), Robert Farrington is helping Millennials get out of student loan debt and start building real wealth. A big believer in hustling to get what you want, Farrington will teach you how to side hustle, grow multiple income streams and invest the excess to build even more wealth.
Top five UK finance blogs of 2025

4. Debt Camel
Debt Camel is all about giving timely advice on how to manage debts and how to reduce them.

From explaining how you could be owed money on your overdraft to how you could make a claim through the car finance commission, there’s lots to discover and plenty to learn that could surprise you.
