@themotleyfooluk – An old standard with sites also based in the US and Australia; investments are their main game. If you do your own trading, or even if you have money in the stock market, you need to be following this.

@PensionsGuru – Steve Bee, former Head of Pensions at Prudential and pension strategist at Royal London, dishes out pension advice. He’s established himself as a bit of a go-to guy when it comes to the ins and outs of UK pensions, so this should be your first stop when it comes to sorting yours out.

@cashquestions – Daily Express commentator and BBC Radio 3 personality Annie Shaw deals out financial advice on the daily. She’s pretty good with interacting with followers, which is a bonus.

@bitterwallet – They call themselves “the best source for consumer hacks, tips & news from the trenches of the HotUKDeals community.” To sum it up: financial and consumer rights news for the rest of us with a bit of a sarcastic edge.

@hilaryosborne – The editor of guardian.co.uk/money brings a bit of humor to her financial commentary. Another good account to follow for UK issues, including housing. Also good at interacting with followers.

In the world of personal finance there are a great number of financial terms which get bandied about alot, however many of these can be difficult for anyone who does not have something higher than a Masters degree in Economics to understand. To help out I have decided to try to demystify some of the regular phrases with this handy little cheat list. And here at Cashzilla we are always happy to receive any additional definitions that any of you out there may want to provide to make the finance jungle just that bit more understandable.
