Welp, another month went by just as fast as it began. As I finish up eating the Halloween candy that I told my kids we ran out of, I can’t help but surf the internet for some great personal finance articles. Here are 5 blog posts from some great bloggers that you can’t miss!

A Day in the Life of CMO by Chief Mom Officer

If you have not discovered Chief Mom Officer, you are in for a real treat! CMO is the main breadwinner for her family. This day in the life story is amazing. Did you know she wakes up at 4 am? Her story has truly inspired me to cut out the non-important/non-urgent activities in my life such as scrolling aimlessly through social media and watching mindless TV.

How Can I Justify this Deeply Unethical Purchase? By Bitches Get Riches

These ladies remind us that we are all human. Although we do our best to stick with a plan, sometimes our actions aren’t perfect, but we do the best we can. Disclaimer: if you are prudish, this blog is not for you. The ladies are awesome, hilarious, and real and their language is very…..blunt and not for kids. If you do choose to read this post, you won’t be disappointed!

I Quit My Six-Figure Accountant Job To Design Wedding Invitations: Here’s How I Did It by Clever Girl Finance

I loved reading Ms. Li’s story since it was so similar to my transition out of the corporate world. I congratulate her and anyone else making big changes to reach their goals!

When Your FIRE Journey Takes Longer Than You Think It Should… by Countdown to Tranquility

This busy mom has a goal of FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early). In this post, she talks about the struggles of trying to keep up the motivation and the unexpected expenses that come her way. This is a heartfelt article because we have all been there and we can relate to things not going as planned. It’s the journey to the goal, not the speed.

Why I Am Willing To Spend $1,800/year On This Sport For My Kids by Frugal Asian Finance

As a parent who spends money on their children’s extracurricular activities, I completely agree with this post! There are so many real-world experiences that children learn from participating in sports and other activities. Saving money is great but if you can afford to enroll your child in a group activity, go for it. I love Frugal Asian’s reasoning for doing this!

There you have it, the 5 personal finance articles that I enjoyed reading this month. If you have any posts that I may have missed, feel free to mention them in the comments I would love to read them!
