Don?t get the wrong idea from the blog name Poorer Than You. This personal finance blog aims not to make you feel bad about being on a tight budget but rather gives advice to those hoping to stabilize their finances. The topics range from earning extra money to credit cards and budgeting effectively. It hopes to assist the ever confused generation Y, also known as the Internet/iPod/debt generation. The advice comes from the experience of 22-year-old college Stephanie, who takes her knowledge from having to drop out of school and earn money to get back to it.
Why you should visit this blog
Stephanie?s posts quickly reel a reader in; her friendly yet humorous tone leads you into practically hearing her voice talking to you. Her informal language may put off older readers, but her target generation will surely appreciate her casual and conversational manner. She maintains credibility with such a tone, offering legitimate and practical advice on serious topics like checking your credit report and managing investments.
She also offers wise tips for saving on daily expenses such as textbooks, moving in, and spending on night outs. A number of laptop offers are posted as well. These offers are a huge help for working students or 20-somethings who save up but don?t have enough money. She maintains a friendly partnership with her readers, with posts regularly show which blog posts have been updated.
Some things you may find a bit disappointing
If you?re looking for advice on specific topics like finding an apartment or tax refunds, then you?ll have to go back a bit or look hard for the tag topic list. The list is available but a bit difficult to look for at first. It would be a big help if the topic list was more prominent or in the main menu. Otherwise, the blog is very useful and realistic, offering no non-sense tips and absolutely realistic about money.
