✍ Are you interested in starting your own finance blog? Building a successful blog is often a long process but you have to start somewhere. Our friends at DomainWheel have written a great guide on how to start a finance blog which will get you off to a quick start.

🤔 Are you a financial blogger stuck for ideas on what content to create next? Here are some topic suggestions to help you fill up your content calendar.


What I Learned After Visiting 100 Blogs? 

Personal finance is personal. Very personal indeed.

We come from different backgrounds and sometimes may not even understand why we spend impulsively, splurge when we cannot afford it, or how to be financially responsible adults. Monetary troubles sneak into every part of our lives and affect our relationships, mental health, and often the overall quality of life. 

Our personal finances include others. Whether we want to collaborate with them, share living expenses, or need their help, personal finance gets most complex when there’s more than one person involved.  

Bloggers’ stories have patterns: most bloggers are either about getting out of debt or retiring early. I’ve been amazed over and over how fast people can get out of debt simply by creating a plan and following it religiously.

There are also a lot of successful blogs whose target audience is women of all ages, reminding us that gender disparities in finance still exist.

Generational differences also stuck out. Many of the blogs on the list are run by a specific generation, the Millennials, and reflect anxieties they have over their financial futures. Millennials were hit very hard by the 2008 financial crisis, and the experience of coping with that impact inspired many to record their experiences.

Many blogs were inspired by the eagerness to get rid of debt or find alternatives to nine-to-five jobs. In many cases, the blog ended up being their full-time job. Every post is a journal entry that collects their thoughts and creates accountability since people read and follow their content. 

Many also share how many management practices learned from their families got deeply ingrained in their adult selves. 

It’s going to be interesting to see how the next generations, raised by more financially literate parents, handle finances as adults and in what way will they define their financial freedom. Will it be in terms of early retirement, traveling, living debt-free, or something entirely new?

The post 35+ Best Personal Finance Facebook Groups in 2024 appeared first on FinMasters.

]]>
Do you wish to retire early, purchase a home, get a degree without going into debt, learn the best way to budget, or start investing? Whatever your financial goal may be, personal finance Facebook groups offer communities with members working toward the same targets. A like-minded community that can offer advice and supports you down the road can make your goals more attainable and help you stay focused.

Facebook groups focused on personal finance attract people from all walks of life. Some of them are managing successful businesses. Others are aspiring digital nomads who aren’t sure how to file their taxes. Most will be somewhere in between. Don’t worry about not fitting in!

⚠ The moderators and members of Facebook groups are often not financial experts. Some may claim credentials or experience that they don’t actually have, and some may have ulterior motives. You should be skeptical and do independent research on any recommendations, especially if they involve investments or purchases. When making serious financial decisions, it’s always advisable to consult a professional to avoid misinformation problems.

We reviewed over 100 personal finance Facebook groups and selected 35+ of the best. Many of these can help you if you’re interested in getting better at making, spending, saving, borrowing, and investing money.

Which Personal Financial Groups Should You Join?

Your choice of Facebook groups will depend on your needs and goals. There are plenty of groups that cover many different topics. Others focus on one specific aspect of personal finance. Look for the type that suits your interests.

Look for a group where you fit in and feel comfortable. Start by reviewing the existing posts. See if the group feels welcoming and secure. Once you’re participating, assess what you read and the reactions you get. If you don’t feel good about the group, look for another one. It’s normal to try several groups before you find the one that suits you.

Money talk is perceived as inappropriate in many families and social groups. We all still have burning questions we would love to ask. Others have similar questions about finances as well as familiar struggles and worries. Sometimes it’s easier to talk to people that you don’t know and who won’t take your questions or problems personally or judge you for them.

Regardless of the group you send your join request to, you can expect to get advice and a supportive community to help you stay accountable on your path to economic independence. Just remember that your decisions are yours alone. Never assume that someone giving advice on Facebook is an expert working in your best interest! Follow up any suggestions with your own research. Don’t rely on links that are posted or given to you. Look for credible sources with other points of view as well. Consult a financial professional before making investment decisions or other financial commitments!

You can even drop by our Facebook page while you’re at it!
