Monevator... And others

Hey guys, 
I'm an avid reader of Monevator, reading new content as soon as it comes up and slowly trawling my way through years of articles. Love it! 

I've sort of happened upon a few other blogs and YouTube channels, so far none of which I rate as much as Monevator, but some interesting content none the less. 

What blogs or channels do you guys look at?

Alongside Monevator I have
* Lars YouTube
* Investors Chronicle (too much scaremongering about tax for my liking!)
* Pension craft on YouTube
* Occam investing blog
* Meaningful money blog (not 100% convinced on this, would appreciate feedback) 

But I've just dipped a little into those as I'm not sure how decent they are. For sure they have some interesting bits thought. 

Thoughts and comments most welcome.

    I know I take Motley fool as it is, with a pinch of salt and how not to invest

    But monevator is a very good website and took me ages to read what I needed and still so much more. The way their starter passive portfolio evolved over the years is fascinating

  • I do seem to spend a lot of time reading on here, perhaps more than I should, and picked up a lot of ideas and things to look out for and differing opinions etc. All of which help in deciding what could or may not work. Blogs I have followed have come and gone, however currently I read:

    Monevator
    indeedably
    The Escape Artist
    Quietly Saving
    Banker on Fire
    Gentlemans Family Finance

    One new site (referral type site) I found a few weeks ago attempts to bring together many personal finance blogs and articles in one place (links to the actual sites of the articles). I found quite a lot on there that I had not seen before. At the top you can select across the internet or focus on EU or UK blogs and articles. The latest Monevator posts appear on there.

  • I have learnt a great deal about investing from reading the CityWire Forums.

    There is only so much of the passive stuff you can read before it starts repeating so if you have a naughty active interest then signup to the Citywire Investment Trust Insider emails and the various podcasts on the AIC website are good.
  • I'd vouch for Meaningful Money (although I listen to the podcast rather than read the blog - he has a YouTube channel too).  I think his recent 'Ultimate Guide' season was a very good consolidation of a lot of information for anyone wanting to take control of their finances and/or understand the fundamentals.

    Nice, I'll give that a listen. Makes a change from watching BBC news whilst emptying the dishwasher!
