In case you didn’t know, I was an avid blog reader and commenter way before I started BFS. I actually read and comment on about 15-20 blogs daily. My blog roll is an actual list of blogs I enjoy regularly.
Since I wouldn’t have started my own blog without the ones that drew me in, I’m posting my own personal list of weekly favorites as my way of saying thanks.
- Monevator - Money Can’t Buy Me Love This is from 2008, before I paid attention to blogs, but it was so moving…I had to include it.
- Fiscal Geek - It was a tie between Why Tax Deferral May Be a Sucker’s Bet and Where Do You See Yourself in 10 Years? The first one was a great breakdown IMHO and the second let me daydream.
- Get Rich Slowly – Reader Story: I Bought a Fire Station for My First Home How cool is that!?
- Sweating the Big Stuff – Funniest Tax Return Ever This is great for a quick laugh!
- 20 Something Finance – Healthcare Reform: How it Impacts You I really appreciated this non-political break down.
- Money Crush – What It’s All For A short, necessary reminder I enjoyed.
- Live Real, Now - Debt Scams I liked the run down since I had never looked into these myself.
- Free Money Finance - Where Should You Hide Money and Valuables at Home? Athough I think his friend is nuts, it was fun to sit in my cubicle and think of hidey holes at home…
- Frugal Dad - Tricks Stores Use To Get Us to Overpay I see these all the time.
- Studenomics - A Classic & Proven Way to Save Lots of Money Now Even though I don’t use this method, I have seen it work with friends who aren’t as financially anal as me.
- Frugal Confessions - Learning From Financial Trainwrecks: Turns Out Reality TV Can Teach You Something Fun read.
I’m also participating in the Enemy of Debt Challenge. I don’t think I was his target audience, but it’s been fun!
Thank you to these bloggers and all of my other favorites! You teach me something new every day!

Aw–thank you for including mine!
Thanks very much for the link here, and your generous words.
I’ve just had 3-4 of your pingbacks arrived, for some reason two months late, so have approved them all on Monevator!
Keep up the good work.
