About FinanceGuide

FinanceGuide is an independent editorial site publishing clear, fact-checked guides on personal finance, insurance, loans, and investing. We help everyday readers make confident decisions with their money — without jargon and without sales pressure.

Our editorial principles

• Reader-first. Every article exists to answer a real question. We don't publish content just to chase keywords.
• Transparency. When we link to a product, we tell you whether the link is an affiliate. Affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations.
• Up-to-date numbers. Rates, contribution limits, and tax rules change. We mark publication dates and refresh evergreen articles regularly.
• No financial advice. We explain how products and concepts work. For decisions about your specific situation, consult a licensed professional.

How we research

Every article is researched and reviewed by the editor responsible for that category. We rely on primary US government sources — IRS publications, FDIC and SEC filings, Medicare.gov rule changes, CFPB guidance, and direct lender disclosures — rather than aggregating secondary reporting. Numbers and tax rules are refreshed when they change.

How we make money

We're funded through display advertising (primarily Google AdSense) and, occasionally, affiliate commissions when readers sign up for products we recommend. We never sell ad placements that override our editorial process, and the same product wouldn't make our recommended list just because it pays a higher commission.
