This week, I'll be headed to FinCon 2017 (for the first time!). For those who don't know, it's a conference for online financial media personalities – bloggers, podcasters, etc.
With that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to find out where some of my fellow finance bloggers are located and would be traveling from.
Reading a wide range of blogs on a weekly basis, I quickly realized that while many of us have similar goals, we also deal with very different issues in our lives depending on where we call home – some striving to live with annual budgets of $40,000 and some living in more expensive cities purchasing modest homes over $1,000,000.
Our location tends to dictate a lot about our finances, and since there is such a wide variety of stories and information out there, I sometimes find it helpful to focus in on some of the bloggers in my own area for specific advice (hence the disproportionate number of bloggers for now on this list from my home state.)
So, below you’ll find a map and a list of almost a hundred bloggers I tend to follow and which state they’re located in. Sorry, I know this post title states, “Where in the WORLD…?” however, at this time I just have a list of bloggers in the U.S. (sorry, Cait Flanders). Some bloggers are a little bit more vague about their location (ex. Physician on Fire likes to tell us he's from the North) so I've left them off the list. Some I just couldn't figure it out, so you won't see them on the list yet.
Instructions:
- Hover your mouse over the state to see the bloggers living there. I've also included it in list format below.
I know I'm missing a ton of awesome bloggers out there, so if you’d like to be included, please message me and I'll add you. Thanks!

This is a great list! May I just recommend adding New Hampshire, as it is an ideal state for a person pursuing financial independence (no state sales or income tax, for starters). It’s also the home of JL Collins (and me!). 🙂 And as beautiful and forested as Vermont, next door (although they are waaaay better at self-promotion than we are!). Have a wonderful time at FinCon!!! Wish I could be there!
Thanks so much, Laurie! Haha, you’ve made quite a compelling case for NH – just added you both to the list.
Hopefully I’ll catch you at the next FinCon!
Cool list. We’re from Delaware. To date I haven’t seen another PF blogger in this state. It always amazes me how concentrated bloggers are out west.
Thanks! Added you to the list. Yeah I was pretty surprised at the amount of people over here in CA!
Awesome list, thank you for compiling! I love finding out who lives where 🙂
Thank you! I do too. Some of these were really surprising to me!
Apathy Ends and Budget on a Stick along with a bunch of others are in Minnesota.
We need more in Washington omg!
Great stuff doc!!!
Thanks, Lily! I’ve added them to the Minnesota list.
Very cool idea!!
Do we get the special prize for the first one on the MA list? :>)
Hope to bump into you at FinCon. I’ll be the one looking like a nervous, awkward newbie…..
Thanks for the mention, PIMD! I look forward to your report on what you learn at FinCon.
My pleasure!
Great idea. I’m in (Southern) California as well!
Nice! Added you to the growing list of Californians.
I’m in Virginia, near the DC border.
Just added you!
Pretty cool initiative. We are in Thornton, Colorado.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Just added you to the list.
Thanks for including me! So cool to see where everyone is from!
Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, it was definitely a fun project to put together.
Thanks for the shout-out for Surviving And Thriving! And may I suggest adding IPickUpPennies.net to the Arizona list?
(Full disclosure: The blogger is my daughter.)
My pleasure, Donna. How cool that the blogging gene runs in the family! Just added her to the list.
Cool list. I’m in NJ. Interesting to see where everybody is.
Thanks! It was a lot of fun putting it together. Just added you to the list.
I’m in IL. 🙂
Added you!
I started a blog this past weekend. Yeah me! (Sorry, I had to be excited for me- GO ME!) Just went through the beginner WordPress tutorial, but it is launched and I would love some critical feed back. Not a clue past this, but it coincides a little bit with this article and with your newest article “5 reasons why doctors should have a side hustle”, I am regular reader of yours. Originally, I wanted to start it as a side hustle, literally meaning to “make money on the side”, yet after reading a bunch of blogs in the last several months, I’ve learned that is a figurative phrase: side hustle, and can mean anything outside of your full-time job. I hope to develop this concept further, but would appreciate if you and your audience can check it out an comment. I am still a full-time working physician, but this has been something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am excited to share it. Thank you for the opportunity, and I would be grateful if some day you include me in this list.

Yes, celebrate your start…Congrats! You’ll be surprised where it takes you and the people you’ll meet. The benefits will come from all sorts of places you didn’t initially expect. I love the concept and I’ll head on over to your site right now. Welcome to the community and just keep writing, enjoy!
