Money decisions matter, so the information behind them should be trustworthy. This policy explains how Moneyables creates, checks, and updates its content — and how we keep our work independent.
Our mission
Moneyables exists to make personal finance clear and practical. We explain saving, budgeting, debt, credit, investing, and retirement in plain English, so readers can make confident decisions for their own situation.
Who creates our content
Moneyables was founded by Erik Henson, who serves as editor and oversees everything we publish. Articles may be written by Erik or by contributing writers, and every article is edited and reviewed before publication. Each article names its author, and author pages describe their background.
How we choose topics
We focus on the real questions people face with their money — from building an emergency fund to choosing a retirement account. Topic ideas come from reader questions, common financial milestones, and research into what people are searching for.
Research and sourcing
We rely on primary and authoritative sources, including:
- Government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Bureau of Labor Statistics;
- Regulatory and industry bodies such as FINRA and the NCUA;
- Official product documentation, rate sheets, and disclosures from financial institutions; and
- Peer-reviewed research and reputable data sources.
We link to our sources where possible so you can check the facts yourself.
Accuracy and fact-checking
Before an article is published, key facts — such as contribution limits, tax brackets, interest rates, fees, and eligibility rules — are checked against official sources. Opinions and recommendations are clearly identified as such.
Keeping content up to date
Financial rules change often. We review important articles regularly — especially those covering taxes, retirement accounts, interest rates, and government programs — and update them when things change. Each article shows the date it was last updated.
Corrections
If you spot an error, please email contact@moneyables.com with the subject line “Correction” and a link to the article. We review every report, correct confirmed errors promptly, and note significant corrections in the article.
Editorial independence
Our content is never for sale. Advertisers and affiliate partners have no say in what we cover or what we conclude, and compensation does not affect our opinions or ratings. Our writers may not accept payment or gifts in exchange for coverage. Learn how we make money in our Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure.
How we evaluate financial products
When we compare financial products, we look at factors such as fees, interest rates, minimum requirements, features, ease of use, customer experience, and consumer protections (for example, FDIC or NCUA insurance for deposits and SIPC coverage for brokerage accounts). Because every reader is different, the “best” product depends on your needs.
Use of AI tools
We may use software tools, including AI-assisted tools, to help with tasks such as organizing research, outlining, or proofreading. These tools never replace human judgment: every article is written or substantially edited, fact-checked, and approved by a person before it is published.
Not personal advice
Our content is educational and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional. See our Disclaimer.
