Hey Frugalistas,

If there is one thing that you know about me is that I have built my life around the tenets of mindful spending and juicy living.  I travel.  I go out.  I attend to my spiritual and intellectual needs.  I pursue and (fund) my present-day passions all while being debt free and aggressively saving and investing for my financial future.

There is no money martyrdom on my watch.

While not all of my personal finance blogger colleagues may adhere to a  “mindful spending equals juicy living” philosophy, their spins on how to amass wealth and engage in financial self-care, are nonetheless on time and thoughtful.

In the spirit of sharing and community building, here are first five of Fabulous N’ Frugal’s ten favorite personal finance blogs.

1. Girls Just Want to Have Funds www.girlsjustwannahavefunds.com: 

Ginger is a no-nonsense personal finance blogger. What I love about this site is that she shares the financial implications of her personal experiences, which range from surviving a recent divorce to calling out freeloading friends. Most recently, she quit her job to blog full-time and run a private psychotherapy practice.

2.The Budgetnista www.thebudgetnista.com

Tiffany is a first-generation American after my own heart. She lives life on purpose and has found ways to live the life she wants (i.e. she plans for quarterly mini-retirements to allow her to pursue her passion of travel) as an entrepreneur.

4. The Money Coach www.themoneycoach.net

I began reading Lynette’s work shortly after graduating from college. I even met her at a homeownership workshop. (I was super stoked.) I read her book Zero Debt while I was in my get-me-out-of-this phase and it really kept me grounded. I have the utmost respect for her body of work.

5. Double Saving Divas http://doublesavingdivas.com:

Tarin and Tai are financially savvy identical twin sisters, and investment bankers turned money-saving experts. They are also COUPON QUEENS.
