Editorial standards

Answer first, facts linked to sources, my numbers labelled as mine, opinions labelled as opinions, and no promises.

Printed articles with pencil edits

These are the rules every article here is written by.

Answer first

Every guide opens with the answer. The story, the detail and the examples come after, for anyone who wants them.

Facts, estimates and opinions stay separate

  • Facts link to their source: the tool's own pricing page, official documentation, a government page or published research.
  • My numbers come from my own dashboards, and I say which ones.
  • Opinions are labelled as opinions. You're allowed to disagree with them.

Taxes and investing get extra care

Taxes, investing and big business decisions affect real lives. I share what I did and what happened. I don't give personal financial, tax or legal advice, and when a question needs a professional, I say so.

No promises

Nobody can promise you an income, including me. Results depend on the work, the niche, the timing and a fair amount of luck. When I share my results, they're mine, not a forecast for yours.

Updates and corrections

Tools change their prices and plans constantly. Reviews and comparison pages are checked at least every 90 days, and each article shows when it was last updated. If you find an error, email hello@wealthcompasscollective.com. Corrections are made quickly and without fuss.

How the site is paid for

Through affiliate commissions, and later possibly ads on information pages (never on reviews). Read how I test tools and the affiliate disclosure.
