How The Rich Guy Math Makes Money
Transparency matters when money is involved.
The Rich Guy Math is a business.
Operating a financial education website involves costs including hosting, software, development, research, publishing, and maintaining financial tools.
We may generate revenue through:
- advertising
- affiliate relationships
- partnerships
- other commercial arrangements
The specific methods may change over time.
Advertising
TRGM may display advertising from third-party advertising partners.
Advertisements are separate from editorial content.
An advertisement does not automatically represent an endorsement by The Rich Guy Math.
Affiliate Relationships
Some links on TRGM may be affiliate links.
If you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying transaction, TRGM may receive compensation.
This compensation does not increase the price you pay unless otherwise stated.
Important
A disclosure on this page does not replace disclosures on individual pages.
When an article contains an affiliate recommendation, the relevant relationship should be disclosed close enough to the recommendation or link that readers can understand it.
The FTC specifically advises that affiliate disclosures should be clear and conspicuous and placed close to the relevant endorsement or link.
Partnerships
If TRGM enters into a sponsorship or commercial partnership, the nature of that relationship should be disclosed where appropriate.
Paid content should not be presented in a way that falsely suggests it is independent editorial content.
Does Revenue Determine Our Editorial Conclusions?
The goal is for commercial relationships and editorial explanations to remain distinct.
We do not want readers to mistake advertising or affiliate compensation for independent evidence that a financial product is suitable for them.
Where a commercial relationship is relevant, we disclose it.
What We Don’t Promise
We don’t claim that every product mentioned on TRGM is the best product for every person.
Financial products should be evaluated based on their:
- costs
- features
- limitations
- eligibility requirements
- risks
- suitability for the individual’s circumstances
Why We Disclose This
