U Who else reads finance blogs and websites; for ways to save, earn, invest, trade, plan, live? Which finance blogs and websites do you read and recommend? 

My favorite finance blogs and websites I recommend are affordanything.com, 4 hour work week, and  moneytalksnews.com .
 
Since money is a construct that permeates 99.99999% of humanity there will be as many views of money as there are types of people and ways of life. So share your fav finance blogs as were not judgemental here.
 
MMM and early-retirement.org

MMM is mostly liberal 20 to 40 yr olds who strive to make money enough money in a relatively short time to retire with a very inexpensive lifestyle (but still quite a bit more than CRVL).

early-retirement.org is mostly 40 to 60 yr olds, perhaps a bit more conservative who fret over having enough money to support two houses and still take a few cruises per year.

I get a lot of good info from both, as well as from CRVL.
 
Used to visit http://getrichslowly.org way back in the day, I think the content has become more sponsored and less relevant as time went on though. The links in FALCON's post are the main ones I visit, also http://reddit.com/r/personalfinance and http://reddit.com/r/financialindependence are good communities to check out.

As a semi-related aside, I just started using YNAB as a budgeting tool for the new year, as I'd been hearing tons about it on the financial forums/sites/etc. I've always been pretty good with money but never really stuck to a strict budget, but I have to say this app/site is absolutely excellent. The implementation of behavioral finance queues and the psychological prompting of daily budgeting has reinvigorated the lost spending<>pain response from using cards and making online purchases... It's a great tool, I have been floored by how much I like it and how well it works! It's not free, but after starting the trial and using it for a week or so, I haven't thought twice about not sticking with it long term. I like supporting small companies more-so than large ones as well, so it's a double bonus on that front.

edit: didn't see http://bogleheads.org mentioned - great community and wiki for in-depth, well researched financial investing and savings advice - it's where I go for all the low down nitty-gritty on asset allocation, efficient frontiers, basically all my investment planning minutiae.
