The personal finance blogging space is very busy, but the financial independence movement is relatively new. Although there were people writing about this stuff decades ago, they were well before their time and before the age of the internet.
Over the last 10 years and especially over the last few years, the FI community has really grown. Here are just a few of blogs that I particularly enjoy.
FinCop (Financial Cop Blogs)
Arrest Your Debt
The only other personal finance blog I’ve managed to find which is also written by a cop. He is based in the US.
Directories
Rockstar Finance
A US-based site containing a directory of personal finance blogs. I find the newsletter the best part as they scan hundreds of blogs and select the best few articles to read on a daily basis.
FIR€ Hub
The financial independence hub of Europe. Similar to Rockstar Finance, it has a directory of personal finance blogs with a focus on Europe.
UK
Monevator

In my opinion, an extremely talented writer who blogs about finance with a philosophical twist.

US

A well-designed website with some very useful tools and well-written articles. Again, this is US-focused but many of the principles could be applied in the UK.
