Best blogs in 2018 (Finance and non finance related)

Hey everyone,

I am looking to find a couple of good regular reads since I have a bit more time on my hands now.
So what are your favorite blogs that you always go back to? Not restricted to finance only, political commentaries, philosophy, lifestyle, health, watches, pens etc. can also be included.

Mr Money Mustache- Developing the frugality mindset. Makes you rethink using money as the sole source of fun/self-worth.

Quora- Lots of smart people answer good questions. You have to curate it yourself else you get a ton of indians posting/answering clickbaity questions.

Less Wrong- Bunch of quants trying to make sense of the world.

Parisian Gentleman- Pretentious Europeans describing rich people fashion. Obviously full of great advice.

 

Quora is incredible, lots of successful finance and political professionals on there. Though you have to be sure to follow the right topics and people or you will end up seeing 100's of answers from "Life Coaches" about how to unlock the secrets of life, wealth and happiness throughout the power of heavy breathing

 

You have to really dig through bigger pockets for the useful information. Seems almost every thread is commented on by a realtor looking for business and several wannabe big shotz investors/wholesalers.

When I picked up my first few properties I did reference the site for some of my needs; 50/50 with getting them answered by searching.

 

I do a lot on Quora.com -- love the content and the questions. Tons of great minds in VC, Tech, SaaS, Startups, Sales, Finance, Consulting. I've made a pretty good show in terms of answers and questions and it's helped open many doors.

A couple more great sites/blogs:

They eviscerated the economics of Uber. Very smart people. Does get a little fringy on the lefties but they do have some good analysis.

Backer of modern monetary policy which I think has flaws.

I also consider marginal revolution and themoneyillusion as must reads

Schneier on security— esp the comments. Wickedly smart people.
