FPG

Personal Finance Writers, Editors & Fact-Checkers

Based in the United States · Covering U.S. personal finance

The FPG Editorial Team is a collective of personal finance writers, editors and fact-checkers dedicated to one mission: helping everyday Americans make smarter money decisions. Every article published on FPG is researched, written and reviewed by our team before it reaches you.

Mission Statement

We exist to make credible, jargon-free personal finance journalism freely accessible to every American — from first-job 22-year-olds to retirees rebalancing their portfolio. We measure success not by traffic, but by the financial outcomes our readers achieve.

Editorial Standards

Every article is built on primary sources (government data, SEC filings, peer-reviewed research). We never publish opinions disguised as facts and we always disclose the limits of our knowledge.

Fact-Checking Process

Numbers, statistics, tax rules and product terms are verified against at least two independent sources before publication. Citations are linked inline whenever possible.

Content Review Methodology

Articles are reviewed at least once per year — and immediately when relevant laws, rates or product terms change. Updated dates are visible on every article.

Editorial Independence

We disclose all affiliate relationships. Compensation from partners NEVER determines what we recommend, how we rank products, or what we publish.

Our Editorial Standards in Detail

  • Accuracy first. If we get something wrong, we publish a visible correction.
  • Sources you can verify. We link to IRS, SEC, BLS, FDIC and other primary sources.
  • Reader-first incentives. No clickbait. No fearmongering. No paid placements disguised as articles.
  • Transparency. Affiliate links are disclosed. Sponsored content, if it ever exists, is clearly labeled.
