Editorial standards
How Wallet Wired chooses, checks and corrects what it publishes.
Sources
Every article starts from published work: a peer-reviewed study, a replication, a dataset or an official statistic. Each figure links to its source, and the full list closes the article. Where the original paper is available, it is cited ahead of news coverage of it.
Contested findings
Some well-known findings have failed to replicate or are disputed. When that is the case, the article says so in a section on what the research does not show. A popular number without a traceable source is left out.
Not advice
Wallet Wired describes patterns in how people handle money. It does not recommend products, allocations or actions, and no one writing here is licensed to give financial advice.
How the site is funded
The site earns from display advertising and from affiliate links to books, audiobooks, note-taking tools, software and psychology courses. It may later carry newsletter sponsors and sell its own educational material. Ads are chosen by the ad network, not by Wallet Wired, are labelled “Advertisement”, and never influence what an article says. Appearing next to an article is not a recommendation. Affiliate links never go to banks, brokerages, lenders, card issuers, investing apps, insurers, crypto firms or tax services. The full list is on the affiliate disclosure page.
Videos and articles
Each video and its article are written from the same fact base. Neither is a transcript of the other.
Corrections
Errors are corrected as soon as they are confirmed, and a dated note at the end of the article says what changed. Send corrections to hello@thewalletwired.com.
