How we write about your money.
GetGuac publishes free money guides alongside a receipt scanner and spending tracker. This page says who writes them, what they are, what they are not, and where advertising fits. It is short on purpose — a policy nobody reads protects nobody.
Who writes these
Articles are written and reviewed by the GetGuac team. We do not publish guest posts, we do not accept submissions, and we do not attach invented bylines or credentials to a piece. If a name is not on it, that is because the team wrote it — not because we are hiding an expert we do not have.
We write in our own lane first: receipts, spending, refunds, subscriptions and the things our own product touches every day. Where a guide covers broader money basics, we stick to well-established, non-controversial ground and point you at the calculator that lets you run your own numbers instead of trusting ours.
This is information, not advice
Nothing here is personalized financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and reading it does not make us your advisor. We do not know your income, your debts, your tax situation or your risk tolerance. For decisions that turn on those, talk to a qualified professional who can actually see your position.
Any dollar figures in an article are illustrations, not forecasts. Rates of return, prices and tax rules change, and past results never guarantee future ones.
Advertising never touches the words
Some pages carry ads, and every one of them is labelled as an advertisement. No article is sponsored, and no advertiser gets to review, request, place or influence a word of what we publish.
There are no affiliate links or paid links inside an article, and that is enforced by the software rather than by good intentions: an article body can only contain paragraphs, subheadings, bullet lists and figures. There is no mechanism to put a link in one at all.
Numbers, figures and updates
Charts in an article are generated from the same numbers the surrounding paragraphs state, so a figure cannot quietly disagree with the text next to it. Where we show a worked example, the arithmetic is in the article so you can check it.
Every article shows the date it was last updated. We revisit guides when the underlying rules move — contribution limits, tax thresholds, retailer policies — rather than on a schedule designed to look busy.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, we want to know and we will fix it. Send the article and what is wrong with it via our contact page. Substantive corrections change the article and its updated date; typos we just fix.
