Money advice is only worth reading if you can trust where it came from. These guidelines lay out how MoneySenseDaily researches, writes, and checks its content, and the lines we hold ourselves to.
How We Approach a Topic
Before we write, we read. We look at how a subject is explained across credible sources, then work out where the usual explanations get vague, outdated, or needlessly technical. From there we rebuild the topic in plain language, in our own words, aiming for the version we wish we had found first.
Where Our Information Comes From
We lean on reputable and official sources, including government bodies like the IRS and financial regulators, established financial institutions, and credible publications. When sources disagree or a number looks stale, we go back to the official one.
The Role of AI and the Role of People
We use AI to help with research and to shape early drafts. From there, a person takes over to edit, verify, and rewrite, and no article is published without that human pass. The final call on accuracy and tone is always ours.
Getting the Numbers Right
Finance lives and dies by details, so figures get extra scrutiny. During editing we confirm rates, brackets, thresholds, and dollar amounts against trustworthy sources, and we flag when a point depends on current law. When rules change, we go back and update.
The Line We Do Not Cross
Our content teaches; it does not advise. We do not tell you what to buy, invest in, or decide, because that depends on a personal situation we cannot see. For the full explanation of these limits, please read our Financial Disclaimer.
Staying Independent
Our editorial calls are our own. If advertising appears on the site, advertisers have no say in what we cover or how we cover it.
Tell Us If We Got Something Wrong
We would rather hear about a mistake than leave it up. If you spot an error or something unclear, email contact@moneysensedaily.com, and we will check it and fix it.
