Editorial Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

Our Commitment

Easy Money Place is dedicated to delivering practical, accurate, and accessible personal finance information. This editorial policy outlines how we create, verify, and maintain our content to serve you better.

Editorial Team & Approach

Our editorial team focuses on delivering research-backed information over individual credentials. We believe the quality and verifiability of our content matters more than the letters after anyone’s name.

We prioritize:

Practical applicability over theoretical complexity
Evidence-based guidance over trendy money tips
Clear, accessible language over financial jargon
Honest transparency about our process and limitations

Content Creation Process

Every article on Easy Money Place follows a six-step verification system:

1. Research

Before any article is written, we research the topic using authoritative sources:

Government agencies (IRS, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, FTC, Social Security Administration, FDIC, SEC)
Professional organizations (CFP Board, National Foundation for Credit Counseling, FINRA)
Consumer protection resources (Consumer Reports, Better Business Bureau)
Peer-reviewed research in personal finance, behavioral economics, and consumer protection
Reputable financial education sources (NerdWallet, Investopedia, Bankrate)

2. Content Development

Our team uses AI-assisted writing tools (primarily Google Gemini) for initial research, drafting, and formatting. We’re transparent about this because we believe you deserve to know how your information is created.

AI tools help us:

Synthesize large amounts of research efficiently
Maintain consistency in structure and tone
Generate multiple approaches to common financial challenges
Format content clearly and accessibly

3. Fact Verification

Every article undergoes human editorial review before publication. We verify:

Financial guidance against current IRS regulations and consumer protection laws
Tax information against official IRS publications
Debt strategies against credit counseling best practices
Product recommendations against user reviews, expert testing, and fee structures
Mathematical calculations (interest rates, payoff timelines, budget percentages)
Safety warnings about scams, predatory practices, and financial traps

4. Plain Language Review

We review every piece of content to ensure:

Complex financial concepts are explained in everyday language
Technical terms (APR, APY, DTI ratio) are defined when first introduced
Instructions are clear, specific, and actionable
Content is accessible to readers of all financial literacy levels

5. Source Citation

Articles include citations to authoritative organizations and resources. We link to:

Government agencies and official publications
Professional organization guidelines
Consumer protection resources
Industry standards and best practices

This allows readers to verify our information and dive deeper into topics of interest.

6. Regular Review & Updates

Financial regulations, tax laws, and best practices change frequently. We review and update our content:

Tax content – Reviewed annually for new tax year changes
Rate-sensitive content – Reviewed quarterly (savings rates, credit card information)
Evergreen guides – Reviewed every 12-18 months
Immediate corrections – Updated as soon as errors are discovered
Regulatory changes – Updated within 30 days of significant changes

Use of Artificial Intelligence

We use AI tools (primarily Google Gemini) for:

Research assistance and source gathering
Article drafting and content development
Formatting and structural organization
Generating alternative approaches to common financial challenges

All AI-generated content undergoes human editorial review for:

Factual accuracy against authoritative sources
Practical applicability in real-world situations
Safety considerations and appropriate warnings
Clarity and accessibility of language
Logical flow and completeness
Current regulatory compliance

We believe AI is a powerful tool that helps us create content more efficiently, but human oversight remains essential to ensure quality, accuracy, and real-world usefulness.
