Hello Fellow Kingdom Stewards!

This post is for my mom. We had a conversation about money last week and she asked who she could read online regarding all-things personal finance.

Before you read it, I HIGHLY suggest that you read all about the Chocolate Cake Myth, The American Dream, and the White Picket Fence in yesterday’s post.

Money is important. Jesus talked about it more than heaven and hell combined. Where are treasure is, there are heart is also.  You can’t serve two masters. You know the deal!

We are BLESSED to be a BLESSING. I hope that you’re working towards becoming a Kingdom Millionaire. Hopefully this list helps.

Everyone has heard of Dave Ramsey, and he is an awesome guy. But information longs to be free- if you’re gonna charge for it, you’re gonna limit your audience.

So without further a-do, here’s my Top 15 list of amazingly tactical personal finance blogs that I read, and the reasons why I think they’re so awesome.

Simple Dollar
Trent Hamm is a godly dude from Iowa and a hardcore frugalist. #1 in my books. Tons of great resources. Start here- it’ll take you 5 years to implement everything he’s shared, for free, on this blog.

WiseBread
WiseBread is awesome. Super pretty too.

Man vs. Debt
A relative new-comer, Adam Baker is a Christ-following dude who’s bouncing from Indiana to Australia to New Zealand and soon over to Thailand…with his wife and kid. Posts include ‘Travel Hacks’, ‘Debt Tsunamis’ and ‘Tyler Durden’s Guide to Personal Finance.’

Mint Life
Mint is awesome and their blog is pretty. Read it for sure.

I Will Teach You to be Rich
Ramit Sethi is probably the ‘coolest’ of the bunch. Only Problem- he’s got an ego and you can feel it. His book is great. The website is full of great (albeit basic) tactics on how to automate your finances. He focuses on the ‘big wins’. A must-read.

Get Rich Slowly
“Personal Finance that Makes Cents.” And horrible puns.
JD Roth is widely considered the best in the business. He’s a great follow on Twitter.

TIME Money Blog
A recent post: How a 22-year-old New Yorker can save $5K/year while living in NYC for less than $30K. Nice.

Christian Personal Finance
Bob Lotich put up a cool quote this week… “I never would have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary, which was $1.50 per week.” — John D. Rockefeller

Frugal Dad
Awesome name, ugly site, great content.

Gather Little by Little
Another great blog by a Christ-follower!

Bible Money Matters
Pete’s a good dude with sound financial advice from a Christ-following perspective.

I Was Broke, Now I’m Not
Joe Sangl worked for Newspring Church, and his ministry got so big that he had to quit! Now he helps churches all over the country!

Bargaineering
Jim Wang is definitely more technical…he gets into the taxation and legal sides quite a bit.

Squawk Fox

“Where frugal living is sexy, delicious, and fun.” Nuff said!

Honestly, there are so many more AMAZING PF bloggers…Shoe Money, No Debt Plan, Suburban Dollar, Budgets are Sexy…here’s who I’m following on my Personal Finance Twitter List

And here is Wise Bread’s list of the top 500 most popular personal finance blogs.

Find your favourites and get to work!

(ps…you’ll start to notice that there’s an impressive amount of Christians on the list…seems like Biblical wisdom works sometimes!)

Also be sure to check out Instructables, eHow, WikiHow, and How Stuff Works for tons of DIY (Do It Yourself) tips.

ALWAYS REMEMBER: we are blessed to increase our standard of giving, NOT our standard of living!

And if that doesn’t help, listen to John Piper…
