  • Hey, i think www.creditboards.com is pretty much the American version.

    There is http://getrichslowly.org/blog/
    which is more a blog but has some interesting articles - these can also be applied to the UK too.

    Thanks for your replies, but both websites suck. No animosities.

    The Motley Fool is about the closest. Their message boards are very good and cover about all the same topics, plus lots of non-financial topics. The tone of the boards is a bit different, though: there are some rather arrogant people on there. But, they won't jump on you just for being a newbie or anything. They're definitely all about the Tough Love: if someone wanders into their credit and debt forum with huge debts, they will be very encouraging but also demanding with lots of excellent practical advice but no patience with people who won't take it. The Live Below Your Means board has gotten very snarky and off-topic, as everybody on there has been there forever and has already said everything there is to be said on the subject of saving money.

    But, I do think it's the most knowlegeable set of message boards for anything financial.

    There is also a UK version of TMF, which has some good boards, but it's not as big.

    Thanks, BrandNewDay..... but Motley Fool is for suckers.

    Oh, well, it looks like MSE is the one and only.

    Aren't we lucky? ;-)
