There is a fairly new personal development site that looks like it has some potential:

Wow, I’m honored that Fat Pitch Financials is on your short reading list. I hope you are learning a lot from my value investing experiences.

Sorry to see my sites didn’t make the list, but compared to these, it flies pretty low under the radar. Nonetheless, you might want to take a look at
http://www.101WaysToSaveMoney.com and
http://www.MySavingPlace.com

You won’t get a PHD in saving or finance here, but easy ideas to implement that will start you on your way to a better financil future.

For those who rely on Google Reader and have a Gmail account, Gina over at Lifehacker just released a Firefox extension that integrates GR into Gmail. It’s nice if you don’t want to keep hopping between two websites. It’s available at http://lifehacker.com/software/gmail/lifehacker-code-better-gmail-firefox-extension-251923.php

Get Rich Slowly is one of my favourite PF blogs and I also read a number of the other ones in your list.

Free Money Finance and Frugal For Life are two of my regular reads that didn’t make your list.

I agree – a full feed makes a big difference – the blogs I read the most often all have a full feed.

I would recommend one more. It isn’t mine, just a guy that I read: http://www.ririanproject.com

Free Money Finance is my favorite site besides this one. I encourage you and your readers to check it out.

Great list – I think you should include some tools as well – one site I visit frequently is Mvelopes.com and use their envelope budgeting system online. They have good articles there as well and a good community via their forums.

Of course, to make it a good 26, you’d go to my site…lol.

Seriously, great list.

You read all those sites?!
I personally like what they’re covering at wesabe.com, particularly since they focus on savings. I’ve also started a blog recently to chronicle what we’ve learned at the startup I’m with which has developed a process for getting on track for retirement that uses Flash and is based on the work of leading Certified Financial Planners.

Hey Trent – Great list. For as much time as I spend online, I was surprised to see half a dozen that I didn’t recognize. I’ll have to check them out.

Thanks for including us by the way!

Guess we gotta change that summary feed to full feed…

I read Clever Dude. He’s witty and smart and sexy! And he hasn’t written a paid review in AGES!

Wow. We’re very flattered to be included in such great company. Thanks Trent!

I’m flattered that I made the list! I’m also interested in checking out some of the personal productivity sites (in a sort of investigatory, maybe-I’ll-dip-my-toe-in way), so thanks for this post.

Motley Fool has a lot of info that I have found to be really helpful.

One blog I’ve recently become addicted to is The Wastrel Show at blogspot (I believe she has an RSS feed). Her blog presents personal finance from a 50+ partial retiree perspective and is very grounded. Worth a looksee!!

I should mention that there are a few sites out there that I would read, except they don’t offer a full RSS feed. This makes it much more difficult for me to follow their site – the features of Google Reader are such that for browsing content and flagging it for later (like for my morning roundups), I almost need it to keep things productive, and being forced to go away from that to read someone’s content puts up an enormous barrier for me.

Thanks for the recommendations in the personal development niche. I’m skeptical of the genre thanks to the gurus I’ve been exposed to, so I’m hoping some fresh writing by bloggers might change my mind.

Thanks also for reading Consumerism Commentary. :-)

I also read free money finance and blueprint for financial prosperity and comment very regularly. I’ve got my own blog in my reader as well, although I’m not sure that I read it for personal information as to make sure that its posting right.
