We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. And while our site doesn't feature every company or
financial product available on the market, we're proud that the
guidance we offer, the information we provide and the tools we create are
objective, independent, straightforward — and free.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us. This may influence
which products we review and write about (and where those products appear on
the site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are
grounded in thousands of hours of research. Our partners cannot pay us to
guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. Here is a list of our partners.

How I Think About Money“Money is a tool to build freedom, not something to chase. I care more about long-term stability than flashy wins, and try to spend mindfully, save consistently, and invest for the life I want. I let money support my values, not control them.”
