Top Bloggers Share Their Best Personal Finance Tip

When I started this blog earlier in the year I didn’t know how many personal finance bloggers already existed!

I mean before starting this blog I read a few personal finance blogs but man I didn’t know there were this many of us haha.

The great thing about the personal finance community is the willingness to help others, I mean that’s why we started our blogs in the first place.

Some of you see blogging as competitive, fighting each other for page views and affiliate sales but we are here to share our knowledge in different areas, share our different points of view, and most importantly build a community where we all grow and thrive.

All these successful bloggers I’m going to mention have their own blog communities but it is important to know that we are all one big community where we want to help people through their personal finance journey so they can take control of their money!

With that said, everything you read on this blog is written by myself, so you only have seen my thoughts and perspective on personal finance.

Even though I think I’m pretty cool, it will benefit you greatly to hear from some of the top personal finance bloggers.

Because you are so special, I reached out to these bloggers and asked them for their absolute best personal finance tip for those who are just starting their personal finance journey.

So let’s get on with it!

“My top tip for someone who is just getting started in personal finance and improving their finances would be to find ways to make extra money.

Everyone has some sort of free time (whether you want to believe it or not!), and it’s all about finding the best ways to manage that free time.

And, my recommendation is to find ways to make more money so that you can pay off your debt, stop living paycheck to paycheck, and save for your financial goals.”

This is such a great tip that I agree with 100%! If you are looking for ways to make extra money, Michelle has a great post on ways you can make extra money. Be sure to check it out!

Believe In A Budget

Kristen is the blogger behind the successful blog Believe In A Budget where she provides a variety of personal finance tips, especially side hustling!

Here is Kristin’s best personal finance tip:

“My best personal finance tip would be to start an emergency fund. Whether it’s setting aside $5 or $100+ per paycheck, putting money in an emergency fund will come in handy down the road.

It always feels better to have extra cash available to pay an unexpected bill or expense, as opposed to relying on a credit card in a jam. The more you can save, the more you will thank yourself in the future!”

Such an important tip from Kristen! You can never be too safe, so make sure you are covered for those unexpected expenses.

Bethany Holt

Bethany Holt runs an amazing personal finance blog at BethanyHolt.com and she provides many great personal finance tips for women so they can take control of their financial life!

So, here is Bethany’s best personal finance tip:

“My main advice is to limit a lot of the decision-making by setting yourself up with strong systems from the beginning

There are two things that help succeed with money management:

1. Using a planner each week (like one of mine) keeping an eye on your spending encourages you to be more thoughtful when you get your card out.

2. Setting up an automatic transfer to a savings account (or debt repayment) on payday and spending the rest!

You have to make your system simple to use and maintain or you’re a gonner!”

Awesome tips from Bethany on how to get started managing your money!

Frugal Rules

John runs the blog Frugal Rules where he teaches people how to manage their money and live a more free life!

Here is John’s best personal finance tip:

“The best thing you can do when just getting started in personal finance is to pay yourself first. That may sound difficult, but it’s actually quite simple.

Contact your bank and ask them to set up an automatic transfer into a savings account. The interval doesn’t matter, it can be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. The amount also does not matter, it can be as little as $10 if you want.

Paying yourself first not only lets you set aside cash for emergencies, it’s also the best way to start building wealth to help your future self. The idea of paying yourself first was first introduced to me when paying off debt and was key in growing in my financial journey.”
