My Favorite Posts By Other People, May 2026

I read many blog posts each day. They mostly focus on personal finance, but also on minimalism and travel . Here are some of my favorite posts I read in May

May was a difficult month for me, with lots of hospital time, even more than I planned on. I found that fewer posts appealed to me, which is likely more a function of how I was feeling than how people were writing.

These are the posts I saved to recommend later:

  1. Over at the White Coat Investor, Brian Jepson writes about retiring from medicine in Hanging Up the White Coat.
  2. At Blogging Away Debt, Ashley writes about some of the real benefits of getting ahead financially, in The Quiet Relief of Being Able to Afford Healthcare.
  3. Jesse at The Best Interest compares the stock market with predictably unpredictable Spring weather in You’ve Lived Here Your Whole Life.
  4. The Woke Salaryman published Why rural houses die alone. It is set in a different country, but the principle definitely applies to communities in the USA as well.

Half of the posts I saved had to do with travel. Particularly, other peoples’ trip reports.

For your armchair travel pleasure:

In May, I’m always dreaming about going to the ocean for a summer vacation..
  1. Darcy of We Want Guac takes a road trip up the West Coast of the USA. Photos includeed.
  2. Happily Disengaged talks mostly about the life of Coast Fire, but also writes about several trips, including to El Salvador. Also with photos.
  3. At Burning Desire for Fire, Frogdancer Jones traveled to several Balkan countries. All of her posts are full of beautiful photos and interesting facts, but I particularly enjoyed her posts from Mostar and Ljubljana.
  4. Bob at Tawcan took his family to Iceland in November , and his pictures are amazing! The trip sounded very nice too.

I hope you find some of these posts interesting. Do you have any favorite posts from May?
