Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger.net recently hosted an article that gave a list of 30 Bloggers To Watch In 2010. After the post went live Darren gave a challenge to others in the blogosphere to make their own lists of bloggers to watch in their own niches. I decided to join in the fun!
My list contains a lot of newer blogs, and blogs that have hit their stride in the past year. All of them are valuable additions to your RSS reader. Some of the bigger blogs in the personal finance niche may not appear, but that’s OK as you’ve probably already heard of them anyway!
If you want to follow these people, and over 200 others in the personal finance niche, check out my personal finance twitter list! So without further ado, here’s my list of 50 Personal Finance Bloggers To Watch in 2010.
