Financial Education Blogs

This blog post about financial education blogs was originally written for our sister website – The Money Muppet. We set that site up in January 2014 as we embarked on our journey to financial freedom. The Money Muppet site no loner exists, so we’ve incorporated our financial journey into our travel blog.

It can be done, assuming you’re not already in your forties, can you be financially free in your thirties. Yep, your 30’s. I’ve personally met no-one who’s achieved this jaw-dropping feat, but I have virtually come across families who’ve done it and blogged it. Their financial education blogs are an inspiration and eye-opening.

Financially free at 30, this guy’s seriously got his head screwed on. The blog’s hard hitting, generally pointing out how daft we all are. He and his family live a (tongue in cheek) deprived life living on £16,000 ($27,000) a year.

Jacob, who has a PhD in sub-atomic physics (I kid you not) made himself financially free at 33. He’s blogged about it, and written a book. He lives on £4250 ($7000) a year, although his income is much higher than that, so he’s actually getting much richer.
