For the last five years, the money and media community have met at FinCon Expo to discuss ongoing trends in the world of personal finance. One of the capstones of the conference is The Plutus Awards , which selects the best blogs in a variety of categories.
One key area is personal finance for young adults, which is critical for the future. The financial literacy gap is real , and these bloggers and writers are working to eliminate it with today's young adults.
Here are the finalists for the Best Blogs for Teens, College Students, and Young Adults, each of which deserves recognition for their contributions to helping improve financial literacy for this space.
Broke Millennial was started by Erin, who found herself in this situation at 25 after she graduated from college. Now, she is learning how to be financially literate and is sharing what she learned with others. The great thing about her site is that she tells funny stories and is pretty sneaky about getting financial lessons in. Her site is very personal, and she has a very active community surrounding what she is doing to help other young adults online.
Making Sense of Cents was founded by Michelle, who shares her story about graduating with almost $40,000 in student loan debt , and then side hustling her way to paying it off. Now, being debt free, she has transitioned to a fully online income stream, and no longer has to work a day job. Her story is incredibly inspiring, both on where she has been with her finances, as well as what she is doing today to support herself.
TeensGot Cents was created by Eva Baker after she listened to Dave Ramsey with her mom. Oh, and by the way, she was only 16 when she started her blog. Her goal is to inspire other teens to make savvy financial choices early on in life, and that being smart about your money can be fun as well. On her site, you will find resources for high school students and college bound teens - from saving for college, to finding volunteer work to beef up your college applications, to fun ways to save money.
The Broke and Beautiful Life was founded by Stefanie, a "broke" girl living in New York City, who found herself out of college right at the peak of the Great Recession. Her blog chronicles her journey to build wealth while pursuing her dreams of acting while living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. What's enjoyable about her site is that she is seeking to find balance between living and enjoying life today, but not making financial jeopardizing choices that could hurt her tomorrow.
Young Adult Money was started by David
Carlson
in 2012 to help young adults better understand and manage their money. He covers topics that are wide ranging, from real estate investing to lifestyle choices that young adults make. Basically, anything that someone under 35 would enjoy, David covers on his blog. The great thing is that he puts a spin on it that millennials will understand - it's not just the general budgeting basics, but how to do it and why you don't have years to wait with some great spin.

I love it when I meet teenagers who read. As a lover of books, especially young adult books, I enjoy hearing what teens think of stories that are written for them. Teenagers are our future generation of leaders, inventors, writers, and thinkers. As a teacher, I’ve met so many young people who are intelligent, creative, analytical, and thoughtful. It’s time to amplify their voices in the book community. The following teen book bloggers and ‘grammers and vloggers have a lot of great things to say about books!

In September 2000 my daughter was nearly 13 and had just started secondary school. She had always got on well with other children and worked hard. But after a couple of months things began to change. She started wearing lots of make-up. The school was a stone's throw away, but friends began calling for her as early as 7.30am. Next my older daughter spotted her hanging about in the local park with some lads from school who introduced the girls they befriended to older boys and men. I was very alarmed. Then she started missing certain lessons, sometimes whole days.
When she started disappearing overnight, I trawled the streets looking for her. I had no control over her. Sometimes she would say she was going to have an early night, then she'd turn on the shower and climb out the bathroom window. Once when she disappeared, I went through the park looking for her and asked a teenage boy if he'd seen her. I was horrified when he said, "Yes, all the prostitutes hang out by the bowling green."
I confronted my daughter. "That's not true," she said. "Those boys are my boyfriends."
As far as she was concerned, she was doing what she wanted to do and I was hindering her. Money didn't seem to be changing hands, but the girls were getting drink and drugs and mobile phones. The men flattered them into believing they loved them as part of a process of grooming them to have sex with lots of different men, some in their 30s and 40s. People ask me why I use the word "grooming" rather than referring to them as paedophiles, but most of these men haven't been convicted.
I felt as if my daughter was sliding away from me and I'd never be able to get her back. Every minute of every day became a nightmare. I couldn't eat, sleep or function properly, and I could see no way back. Every time she disappeared, I thought I'd never see her alive again. If a girl is over 13, she has to be the complainant in a case of sexual assault. Because this was happening outside the house, there was nothing I could do. The worst thing, as a mother, was not being able to prevent my daughter from being abused.
At the end of 2001, a year after her first disappearance, I put her into care. She didn't want to go, but I could no longer cope. My lowest point was the first time I visited her. Seeing her and having to walk away was unbearable. Everything exploded while she was in care, and I had a breakdown.
My nephew killed himself unexpectedly during this time. My daughter and I attended the funeral, and were both extremely upset. Afterwards, I took my daughter firmly by the shoulders and said to her, "You'll never know how many times I thought I'd be going to your funeral."
Then I walked away. She seemed to turn some sort of corner that day, and so did I. She started to realise what she was doing to herself and I could see for the first time that she needed me. I think I had to feel as low as it was possible to feel before I found the strength to fight what was happening to her and other girls.
I started campaigning with Ann Cryer, the MP for Keighley, for a change in the law to make hearsay evidence admissible in grooming cases, a change we secured last year. I'm proud of what I achieved and my daughter is proud of me, too.
After two years in care, she came back to live with me, went back to college, got qualifications. At times she feels down about what happened to her, which she now recognises as abuse. Last year Channel 4 made a programme about the grooming issue in this area and, although some white men were involved, the BNP hijacked it as a race issue: Asians exploiting white girls. I was furious because this is not a race issue.
The men live locally and we see them from time to time. They call my daughter names, and me, too, if I'm with her. I say to them, "I'm not frightened of any of you." My daughter calls out, "I've moved on with my life and it's a shame you can't move on with yours." Our relationship is better than it has ever been. We talk to each other and if she goes out with friends, she leaves a note on the fridge telling me where she's gone and when she'll be back. It's fantastic to get those notes.
