Making Sense Of Cents – Best Financial Lifestyle

 Michelle Schroeder Gardner made our list of 20 best lifestyle blogs for her no-nonsense and straightforward approach to managing money, making her financial advice blog easy for just about anyone to follow and implement. Making sense of cents was started by Michelle in order to help her readers get out of debt and improve their finances – just after she used her own advice to get out of debt, too.

A financial MBA graduate, Michelle found herself facing massive student loan debt once her studies were completed in 2012. Beginning her career in the financial services industry as a financial analyst, Michelle eventually broke away to begin making sense of cents and has never looked back. Recently returning from a tour of North America in an RV, Michelle and her family sold their home a few years ago and now live on a sailboat! Michelle is a fully self-employed freelancer and solo preneur and publishes her own content, including monthly income updates. Making sense of cents has over 300,000 readers per month. Michelle has been mentioned more than 100 times by Business Insider, CNBC, Forbes, Huffington Post, Reader’s Digest, Time, and more. She has been nominated or won over 20 awards since 2012 for Best Personal Finance Blog, Best Blog Contributor/Freelance Writer and Blog of the Year, Must-Follow Personal Finance Blog, and Best Inspirational Blogs for Debtors, amongst others.
