You probably never really thought about Instagram to go for personal finance education but it is a gold mine for it. Personal finance education itself as changed a lot too, to match our ever-changing world around us.
A $1,000 emergency fund is no longer cutting it. Healthcare costs, as well as health insurance costs, continue to rise every year. More and more people are leaving their 9 to 5 (or were laid off) and went to start their own businesses. We also had one hell of a year where more people are unemployed than ever.
We can see that in the new personal finance content that comes out on least expected platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
So, here are some of the best personal finance bloggers on Instagram you may not know about (and are kicking ass).
Savvy Girl Money
Savvy Girl Money is both a blogger and Youtuber who’s paid off $50k of debt. She is a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and financial activist whose mission is to help millennials break generational habits when it comes to money.

Bravely Go
Bravely Go is a blog run by the wonderful Kara Perez (who also happens to be 1 half of The Fairer Cents). Bravely Go’s Instagram is a perfect mix of feminist economics and inclusive personal finance sprinkled with memes that are right on the nose, educational graphics, and an Instagram series that we don’t think enough people are talking about!

The Budget Queen is doing something really amazing. She’s helped 500 women save over $10k and offers a budget worksheet for free to help you get there too.
