Get Rich Slowly
I started reading the Get Rich Slowly blog last year and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Don't let the name fool you — it's really just about practical advice for paying off debt, keeping a budget, and saving money for retirement. The author hits that perfect blogging voice that feels very authentic, as if he and his readers are peers.
This recent post to start off 2009 covers all the major goals of the site. Here's a snippet from budgeting:
"There are a variety of budgeting methods you can choose, from Andrew Tobias' three-step budget to the 60% budget. My recent favorite (and a favorite of GRS readers) is Elizabeth Warren's balanced money formula: 50% to Needs, 20% to Savings, and everything else to Wants. Simple but effective."
I think there's something for just about anyone in his blog, whether you are paying off a mountain of credit card debt or starting as an entrepreneur who wants to keep enough cash in the bank to cover those slow months.
