When I utter the phrase \"influential money bloggers\", what does that mean to you? To me, I'm talking about bloggers who pour their heart and soul into their blogs. Those who are trusted, respected and natural born leaders. Those who encourage us to kick ass.

The most influential money bloggers aren't necessarily those with the biggest blogs, \"best\" blogs or the largest bankrolls. Their blogs aren't necessarily \"businesses\". Being influential usually implies a level of trust and authority that is built over time, through consistent activity (in this case, publishing blog posts) that incite a huge and dedicated following.

In this article, I'm picking out the top 12 most influential bloggers in the personal finance community, and providing a little detail about what we can all learn from them.

12 of the most influential money bloggers

1. Pete Adeney (Mr. Money Mustache)

\"Mr
Mr. Money Mustache

Love him or hate him, Pete Adeney, the Colorado-based guy behind Mr. Money Mustache (MMM) is by far the most influential personal finance blogger that I've ever seen. Many personal finance and money bloggers (including me) point to Mr. Money Mustache as their inspiration for starting their own money blog. His writing style is unique. He cusses a lot. Everybody knows Mr. Money Mustache and his absolute hatred for cars (even though he's quite obsessed with them).

We learn from Pete how to think differently. His blog is a hit-you-squarely-in-the-face shot to conventional wisdom. If you've heard the term \"clown car habit\", that's a phrase that MMM used to epic success. \"After years of careful study, observations, and interviews with real car drivers\", Pete writes, \"I have come to the conclusion that about 90% of the car use that occurs in the United States is Pure Bullshit\".

If you are easily offended, don't read Mr. Money Mustache because you'll probably end up very much offended. If you like the challenge of reading a contrarian viewpoint, then totally binge read his entire blog...if you have the time.
