Australian Finance Blogs

Given I am Australian, I tend to have a soft spot for Australia. After all it is more or less the best country in the world (we even have Netflix now). So I thought I would share a list of other Australian Finance Blogs and Tools I have run across and enjoy. Tweet me, Facebook me, or contact me if you want to be added, or know of any I should checkout. I am much fussier about the Company/Group ones I add.

Australian Finance Blogs

  • My blog (yay). Talking about all things finance. I wanted a way to motivate, track, help and encourage myself and others to grow their personal finances.
• Barefoot Investor
  • Scott Pape
  • If you don’t know him then I would recommend having a read of Scott Pape’s Confession.

Company/Group Blogs

• Mawer Money
  • I have a dream that all inhabitants of Australia (and the world) have at least a basic level of financial literacy. This should be learned in primary school, high school, and prior to being able to purchase a property and take out a mortgage.
• Capital Boost
  • In this website, the CB team have explained the various loan options available to small business owners and how you can approach the right lender to secure your loan. It has listed blogs for small business owners regularly to help them understand loans better.

  • OurMoneyMarket is an Australian based peer to peer lender that specialises in personal lending. OurMoneyMarket looks to provide hints and tips on how to invest in alternative assets and educate borrowers on how to better manage their money.
  • They are also one of only three peer to peer lenders in Australia that cater to the retail sector.

Regularly Used Sites/Tools

The following are some sites/tools that I like or use enough to recommend them. Feel free to send recommendations for this list, but if I am not still using it after a few months, it won’t make the list. This is not everything, just some key sites that have proven valuable over the years.

• Market Index
  • “Information and data on the Australian stock market. Live indices, fundamental analysis, and share prices for all ASX companies.”
  • I am not sure why I forgot to add this one to my list! It is hands down the best place for insightful stats and information. It is one of my go-to sites and has been in my RSS feed since before this list existed. This is why I have put it at the top of this list. Thankfully someone over there visited my site and asked to be added (reminding me I had missed them)! It made me feel like I was playing on a high school AFL team only to have one of the hawks come and ask if they could watch!
• Matusik Missive
  • A voice of reason amongst the distortion. Each week I share my thoughts on the Australian housing market.  Not just things real estate, but urban and social trends, too.
