When I started writing about debt reduction, three years ago, there were only a handful of blogs about debt reduction. Now, there are literally hundreds (thousands?). It’s exciting to see so many people getting out of debt and sharing their stories!
I thought I’d share a few of my favorite debt reduction blogs. These sites, and the people who author them, inspire me, and I’m sure they’ll inspire you, too.
Blogging Away Debt - Tricia’s been blogging about debt for more than two years. I really dig her posts. She does a great job of chronically the ups and downs of debt reduction - and life! I still kick myself for not naming my blog Blogging Away Debt!
Blunt Money - Every time I read an article from Blunt Money, I think, “Why didn’t I write that post?” Honest, real, concise, on point, Blunt Money is a daily must-read.
Paid Twice - The queen of snowflaking - Paid Twice rocks! She’s been writing about debt reduction for just over a year, and each post is informative, helpful, and well-thought-out.
Clever Dude - Clever Dude is a dude… and he’s clever. I like the site layout and I’m always intrigued by what he has to say. I like the fact that he writes about debt reduction, but he also writes about other areas of personal finance.
Like I wrote, I wanted to share a few of my favorite blogs. If you are looking for a complete list of the debt reduction blogs that I read, check out my other site, No Credit Needed Network, and this list of members’ sites. You’ll be amazed by the shear number of sites dedicated to getting out of debt!
What about you? Do you have a favorite debt reduction blog? Do you write about debt reduction? Leave a comment and share a link to your favorite site. Spam comments will be deleted!

6I enjoy all the blogs you’ve listed here, but particularly enjoy Tricia’s blog and Clever Dude–probably because I can relate to both of them. Tricia writes in such a personal tone that I feel like I know here after following her journey towards debt freedom (she’s getting close!). Clever Dude writes in a friendly tone, often offering subjects or angles that I’ve yet to think about. Of course, No Credit Needed isn’t bad either!

10Great list! I recently started a blog that focuses on keeping life simple. This helps us get out of debt and from getting into debt in the first place. Debt is our country’s worst nightmare right now.

I hope you enjoy it!

15Your comments about being one of the first to write about debt reduction reminded me of the old saying that if there is a need there will be someone to fill that need. Obviously there are alot of American’s in debt, too carelessly running up credit cards. They need education about what they are doing. We need to educate young people about being financially responsible.
