Where to look for advice on managing home finances?

Does anyone know of any good blogs/websites that advise on how to manage home finances, please?
I've tried the big ones like MSE & YNAB but i was looking for something more personal & simple to follow. We're not looking to invest or start side hustles, but more to get a better grip on savings & finances in preparation for retiring in the next 10 - 15 years.
Does anyone follow anyone or can you recommend any good books, blogs, websites or podcasts, please?

Bump! 😊

Do you have Instagram?

I like TheSavvySpenderOfficial on there, she talks about family finances and savings - lots of previous content including how to manage/start saving. I also like Alexonabudget but she's based in the US so not everything is applicable here. MuddleThroughMummy also talks about budgeting.

There's a great Facebook group called Refinery 29 UK Money Diaries - it's for readers of the Money Diaries blogs (weekly spending entries from a wide range of salaries/wealth) but I find I learn so much on there - people ask questions and very savvy people respond with their advice.

Thank you @NameChangedOfc for the bump and @LittleRedRidingHoody for the great suggestions! Yes, I'm on Insta & I've started to follow those you've recommended. Thank you 😊

The more I follow, the more suggestions Insta has for me!
I've just come across the Couch to £5K via The Times money mentor. It looks like a free 6 week email course to help you save £5K over the year.
