creates content

The standards used for educational articles, tools, calculators, product mentions, and updates.

Last updated: May 11, 2026

Editorial mission

MyMoneyAnswer creates simple, calm, beginner-friendly personal finance education for users in the United States and Canada.

The goal is to help users understand common tradeoffs and choose a clearer educational next step. The site is built to feel like a decision tool, not a generic finance blog.

Content standards

  • Use plain English.
  • Explain abbreviations before relying on them.
  • Avoid hype, fear-based language, and guaranteed outcome claims.
  • Separate educational information from product promotion.
  • Add clear disclaimers when discussing investing, debt, taxes, affiliate products, or major financial decisions.
  • Prefer decision frameworks, calculators, examples, and checklists over generic summaries.

Sources and updates

Content should be based on reliable sources, official pages where possible, and clear reasoning. Pages that depend on changing rules, rates, limits, or product details should be reviewed and updated over time.

For United States tax, retirement, debt, credit, and investing topics, source lists should prioritize official or regulator-backed sources such as the Internal Revenue Service, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Investor.gov, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Federal Trade Commission when relevant.

For Canada tax, banking, savings, debt, investing, and registered account topics, source lists should prioritize official or regulator-backed sources such as the Canada Revenue Agency, Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization when relevant.

Review process

Important finance pages should be checked for clarity, source quality, outdated rules, risky claims, and whether the page clearly says it provides general educational information only.

Pages with changing limits, rates, fees, account rules, or product details should include updated dates or source references so readers can verify current information before acting.

Product mentions

Products and platforms should be discussed neutrally. MyMoneyAnswer should not rank a product only because it may pay compensation.

Wealthsimple is the only approved near-term affiliate candidate. Any affiliate relationship should be clearly disclosed before or near the relevant link.

Corrections

If you find an error, send the page URL and correction details to hello@mymoneyanswer.com. Corrections should be reviewed and handled as soon as practical.
