Personal Finance Forums – A Collection of Ones I Have Found

by

Last week, I wrote about Debt Forums. After receiving a comment (thank you!) listing a general finance forum, I thought it would be a good idea to do another list for Personal Finance Forums.

Note: I am listing the forums and by listing a forum here I am not endorsing it. This is meant to be a reference piece that you can use to find a forum that you enjoy. And if you don’t join them, you can always read through them for more information πŸ˜‰

Saving Advice Forums – This forum has over 13,000 members and is hopping with activity. The sections include Financial Chit Chat and Budgeting Resources.

Cleveland.com Finance Forum – This finance forum is not very active. So far in November, there have only been five posts.

Fat Wallet Financial Forum – Fat Wallet has been a great place to search for deals and their Financial Forum is hopping with activity. This is a great place to learn about new banking bonuses.

Finance Forums – This personal finance forum has over 14,000 members (over 5,000 active) and has quite a bit of activity. Their sections include Insurance, Credit Cards and General Personal Finance.

Get Rich Slowly Forums – JD, the blogger behind Get Rich Slowly, opened up his own forum not too long ago. With almost 900 members, this board is fairly active. There’s a section for Personal Finance and then a section for Fiscal Fitness Journals (where you “use this space to post your goals, accomplishments, and setbacks on your path to get rich slowly”).

Kiplinger Forums – the popular financial magazine, Kiplinger, has their own personal finance forum. With over 19,000 members, it has some activity but not as much as you would expect with so many members. There’s even a section to discuss Kiplinger articles.

Military.com Finance Forum – As the name suggests, this forum is geared towards financial issues for those that serve in the military.

Money Saving Expert Forums – This UK based site has many members (over 250,000) and many sections. It looks like they have a little bit of everything.

The Finance Forums – This personal finance forum has over 1,800 members but isn’t very active. The sections consist of a Finance Section and a General Section.

Topix Personal Finance Forum – This forum is a little different because it mostly discusses news topics and doesn’t appear to be a place to go to ask questions. However, it could be worth reading to learn a few things.

I’m sure there are more out there, so if there is one that you know of please contact me (you can try leaving a comment, but it might get filtered out by my spam filter). I will add them to this list.

    A very nice set, I guess I’ll make a new folder for shortcuts, sometimes it’s really useful to have them somewhere handy.

    That’s a very good list for anyone who wants to get out of debt. I am going to visit some of them and see what they say. Thanks.

    I already found a few of these forums before I stumbled on this post, but you seem to have nailed down a good selection and your summaries are very useful.

    Military.com Finance Forum – As the name suggests, this forum is geared towards financial issues for those that serve in the military. Def. the best link you posted. Thanks!

    An motivating post well worth the study – the number of credit cards should be relatively small, although it is generally better to have extra than one. Having too much credit obtainable makes you seem risky to creditors, as you could promptly and effortlessly burden yourself by means of more money owing than you can handle. On the other hand, if you have only one credit card accessible to you, you are extra or quantity at the mercy of the issuing bank’s terms and terms. By having more than one card, you are letting the bank know they are not your just credit options.

    Hi Tricia,

    Thanks for sharing a list of forums. A few of the links I clicked on were broken or it looks like the forum no longer exists.

    For the Get Rich Slowly forum, it looks like it has changed to the domain name /community

    I also would like to add to the list one of my personal favorites which is the NEW Penny Hoarder Forum.

    It is new, but growing every day and lots of great discussions about personal finance is going on in this forum. You can find it here community.thepennyhoarder.com

So, what do you think ?
