Money saving and personal finance is a popular topic on the Internet. There are thousands of websites and blogs on the subject. I have found many of them aren’t updated very often or have an ulterior motive, such as trying to sell you something. Unfortunately the best ones aren’t always easy to find so I have created a summary of the best ones I have found. They are all updated regularly and cover a wide range of topics. Some of them are backed by large companies but some like Askix.com are run by one enthusiastic individual. I have tried to group them by the type of site they are but each one will cover a whole range of topics so you should try and have a look at them all. When you have finished feel free to leave a comment giving your opinions, or letting me know the sites I missed out. If there are any really good sites missing I will add them to the list.

The Big Names
Like any topic there are a number of big names in money blogging. These are either attached to a large company or have been around for a long time and have a huge following.
