Personal Finance is one of them. They are VERY knowledgeable, generally. You just have to unsub from the standard subreddits because thats where most of the idiots are. I love r/cooking, r/baking, r/fitness, r/xxfitness, r/(my city), r/roomporn, r/makeupaddiction... there are lots of good ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-personal-finance-blogs#post-1816017 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:43:19 +0000 sunny 1816017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I find reddit amusing, but most of the audience (for the subreddits I've read) skews so much towards males 25 and under that I have a hard time taking them seriously! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-personal-finance-blogs#post-1816014 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:42:04 +0000 swurlygurl 1816014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Thanks! All that is exactly the kind of info DH and I like to read about (college, savings accounts for kids, mortgage, 401Ks, life insurance, etc). We should probably just go see a professional to set up a plan, but we don't want to pay for that :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-personal-finance-blogs#post-1816002 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:39:15 +0000 loveisstrange 1816002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: Haha. Reddit is kind of confusing. If you just start, you get the hang of it quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-personal-finance-blogs#post-1815997 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 12:38:57 +0000 sunny 1815997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: There was a specific article I was looking for but I can't seem to find it now, but here's the jist:</p> <p>Provided you don't have any high interest consumer debt, you can use this as a general guideline for priority order of investing <b>retirement funds</b>. Keep going until you run out of money to invest. </p> <p>1. Invest in your company's 401k up to the company match<br /> 2. Invest in a Roth IRA up to the max<br /> 3. Invest in the 401k up to the max</p> <p>Dave Ramsey seems to agree with me, and many people enjoy his work, though I don't really follow him as his focus isn't on what I want to focus on. Dave Ramsey says don't put more than 15% of your income away in retirement accounts, but I disagree with that.</p> <p><a href="http://www.daveramsey.com/articles/article/articleid/daves-investing-philosophy/category/lifeandmoney_investing/" rel="nofollow">http://www.daveramsey.com/articles/article/articleid/daves-investing-philosophy/category/lifeandmoney_investing/</a></p> <p>You had asked about mortgage and stocks as well. Dave Ramsey seems to say that funding college is more important than paying off your mortgage. Not sure if I agree with that, but then again, I'm not a pro. </p> <p>Bogleheads will tell you to put your non-tax advantaged funds that you want to invest in low cost index funds rather than individual stocks or actively managed funds. Actually they'll tell you to do that for your 401k/IRA funds as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-personal-finance-blogs#post-1815881 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 11:49:51 +0000 sunny 1815881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: @Freckles: @T-Mom: @loveisstrange: Thanks I'll check those out!</p> <p>@scg00387: Yes I agree that content seems to get recycled often on GRS. I was reading for awhile but unsubscribed after they posted about <a href="http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2011/07/12/frugal-beauty-how-to-look-good-on-a-budget">not washing your hair to save money</a>. That is when I realized it just wasn't the right blog for me :-)</p> <p>@swurlygurl: I think <a href="http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/index.php">Bogleheads</a> would be a good resource for that. The community is extremely knowledgeable. Of course, nothing is a substitute for professional advice! I think there is a general consensus though for order of funding retirement accounts. Let me see if I can find it because I don't recall the exact details. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-read-personal-finance-blogs#post-1815628 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 09:44:43 +0000 .twist. 1815628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I don't know how to work reddit, but that sounds interesting!</p> <p>I read the YNAB Blog occasionally, and I recently started dipping my feet into Mr. Money Mustache.
