5 Best Personal Finance Websites

If you have a lot of trouble managing your personal finances, then you most certainly need help. Finding this help can often be difficult because everyone has got their own opinion on such things. Luckily there are great deals of websites out there that provide free financial advice. These websites can help you with everything from the stock market, to finding good deals on normally expensive products.

www.econothrift.com is the first website I'll be reviewing today. This website has sections to encompass almost everything that you need in order to get your lifestyle headed in the right direction. It has a section about health, and is one of the only websites that I have reviewed to mention the famous phrase, "being healthy" is the first stage of being wealthy.

www.fivecentnickel.com is the second website that I will be reviewing. It has been around for quite some time and provides a lot of information on credit card offers that could end up saving you money. Unlike Econothrift.com, this website only provides articles about articles that are directly related to the financial world. This means bank failures, credit card tricks, and even mortgage information.

www.getrichslowly.org is a great resource for learning about how to become financial responsible as well. This website is unique because it details one person's journey down the road to financial independence. This website consistently has anecdotes about how the story at hand relates to the author's lifestyle.

Although not a personal finance website per se, freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com offers a great deal of sound financial advice. This is the blog that the author of renowned book, Freakonomics maintains regularly. I think it makes a great deal of sense how almost everything can be thought of economically, and thinking of things economically has led me to a more financially sound lifestyle.

www.lifehacker.com, like the first website mentioned, goes into a great amount of detail in describing a lot of different aspects about living a healthy lifestyle. Lifehacker tells its readers about how they can become more efficient, and save money as an end result of the efficiency.

All of these websites are great tools as sources of personal finance information, but no single website is a definitive outlet of financial information. I have found the best strategy to be to read each of these websites on a weekly basis in order to be able to form better opinions myself about a variety of financial matters.
