The MMM readers' blogroll (reloaded)

(1/14) > >>

grantmeaname:
MMM maintains a blogroll, but he's built such a great forum community that we've also got scores of great bloggers right here in the forums. Many of the authors here respond to PMs and are on the forums quite often, so I've linked their forum profiles as well. Click the link on the name in order to send a blogger a personal message through the MMM forum software. These are a bunch of great writers, and all of them deserve a read!

This post is under construction. Please consider joining the review effort! And a MASSIVE thank you goes out to the kickass reviewers Gin1984 and jordanread! Thanks!

* Bakari is The Flamboyant Introvert of Biodiesel Hauling. You can start here, if you like. Bakari writes:
--- Quote ---I question things which people take for granted. I would have been that kid who said the emperor was naked. In real life that kid would probably have been lynched, but I'll take my chances... I believe truth inherently valuable, no matter how well intentioned the ideology it dispels may be. I also write about random interesting things from my personal life.
--- End quote ---
I love reading Bakari's blog because I disagree with him so often politically and can so easily understand his point of view anyway - he's actually helped change my mind about quite a few things. But there are also apolitical posts like the phenomenal buying bikes from craigslist guide and a summary of his sweet frugal business model. Bakari is also the main contributor of Ecomodder's blog, which is inactive.
* Nords writes The Military Guide to Financial Independence and Retirement blog and associated book. You can start here if the inclination strikes you. The Military Guide to FI is a great place to learn about the benefits of a military career as they pertain to FI, and the author even delves deep into research for reader questions like this one. But even if you have no interest in ever serving in the military, Nords has great advice for starting and growing blogs and hysterical sea stories from his submarining days.
* James Collins runs an eponymous blog, JLCollinsNH. Describing his blog, James writes
--- Quote ---Originally this blog was intended to discuss:
Business – Life – Money
But as it and the readerships here evolved it has become mostly:
Money – Life – Business
Either way almost anything can fit if it captures my imagination and I think you might be interested. We’re just having some fun here talking about what has worked for me and what has kicked me in the ass.
--- End quote ---
You may know him from his MMM guest post. Some good introductory posts include James' money advice for his daughter and stock investing series.
* I.P. Daley (get it?) is the Tech Meshugana. There are posts about using technology cheaply - like how to save money with an iPhone - but also posts about using technology responsibly and knowing when not to buy. If you find yourself questioning whether you get more out of your smartphone than the time and money you spend on it, Daley's site will help you untangle things and think more critically about your little electronic frenemy. If you're in over your head, he also takes reader questions. You can also find the Frugality Superwiki and Shopping hut.
* Making Sense of Cents writes an eponymous blog, Making Sense of Cents.
* Mr. and Mrs. POP run Planting Our Pennies.
* madgeylou writes a Be Less Crazy blog, column, and book.
* Yolfer runs The Foundry in the Forest. Reviewer Gin1984 writes
--- Quote ---Urban Frugalistic lifestyle-changing your mindset, Work to earn. Earn to save. Save to invest. Love his “frugal school” with his book recommendations.  Good beginners blog.  Host of the Seattle “Camp Mustache”.
--- End quote ---

* Kudy has Monetary Musings. Gin1984's take: "Is a blog about ways Kudy side hustles and changes her life to save money."
* Widerhaken runs Boy Goes Home. Gin1984 says
--- Quote ---Boygoeshome is a blog about a small town boy who moved to the big city coming home and how he is doing it both fiscally and personally.  Since he bought a short sale that was about to be foreclosed this is a great blog for those who want to start in real estate.  He also dabbles in stock picking which I find interesting but beyond my current fiscal situation so it may be better for the more experienced investor.  Basically he has something for everyone.

* Cdub writes at Mortgage Payoff Club. Gin1984 notes
--- Quote ---Blogging towards a Debt & Mortgage Free Life as a way of pushing the blogger to pay down the mortgage early.  He wants to pay at least 750/month to pay it off like a 15 year mortgage but is trying to even better than that.  Looking for support from the blogging community.
--- End quote ---

* Woodpecker writes A Good Day to Live. Gin1984's take:
--- Quote ---A german man looking for FI and he describes his blog theme the best“I want to find a way to live as much of my life as possible in a happy and fulfilling way. In a way I determine – without my bosses, a low bank-account, the state, the society and other annoying people interfering. And I am determined to do it now and here and not at some maybe-later-point-in-time when I am retired or old or found an oil-well in my garden or something.”  Not as extreme as MMM but looking for what works for him.

* Erica runs NWEdible. You can start here; Jordanread's thoughts:
--- Quote ---At it's most general, this is a blog about food. With posts going back to January 2011, the author (Erica) writes about her experiences creating a suburban homestead. Grow your own food using her gardening tips, handle scraps with a backyard chicken flock, and then use some of the seasonal recipes to turn those gardening goods into incredible and tasty dishes. If you have an interest in good wholesome recipes, and care about sourcing your food, or just want some advice to make those damn vegetables grow, this is the blog for you. She also has some awesome home tips and DIY projects. The blog averages >14 posts per month, although that goes up and down based on the seasons. She is based in Seattle, WA and some of the gardening tips are specific to that region, but there is a lot of general information as well. The blog is broken down into a few general categories: Gardening, Cooking, Chickens, Food Preservation, and Productive Home.

* Cookforgood cooks WildlyAffordableOrganic. You can start here; the author writes
--- Quote ---We can become happier, healthier, and more secure by cooking and eating real food again. Join the movement to make delicious, seasonal meals from scratch. You'll reduce your grocery bills and probably your medical bills. You'll have the joy of vibrant health and the relief of being able to eat well on even a small budget. You'll make a positive difference for yourself, your family, and for your community and planet. Go green for $5 a day or less with mostly organic or sustainably raised ingredients. Or focus on cost to save even more! Either way, you'll probably be spending less than the food-stamp allowance for someone with no other means. We can afford to eat wonderful food that is good for our bodies and for our planet. Vote with your fork for a better world.

Jordanread, the reviewer, says:
--- Quote ---From the author of Wildly Affordable Organic, the Cook For Good project was born. A healthy eating plan with a focus on locally sourced, sustainable, and/or organic food, the Cook For Good project focuses on cost-per-meal, and cooking from scratch. Meal plans, recipes, guest posts, and discussions about societal impacts of our food choices all have their place here.
