About Our Site
Goal
According to a survey by the Federal Reserve 40% of American adults claimed they would have to sell something, borrow money, or not be able to pay an unexpeded $400 expense.
This site was designed to show the power of compound interest & help offer consumers practical personal finance advice.
“Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it ... he who doesn't ... pays it.” — Albert Einsten
Privacy
User privacy is protected across our site by using a secured certificate. We do not sell user data to third parties.
Ad Networks
This site does not currently have any commercial relationships with ad networks.
In the past it was a partner of MyFinance, which enabled us to share current savings rates & CD rates with our users. In some cases current local rate tables may have shown exclusively free listings while in other cases rate tables may consist of exclusively paid listings or a mix of the two categories. We did not have editorial control over the content of rate tables. When users interacted with rate tables MyFinance may receive compensation from advertisers. MyFinance, in turn, shared a portion of that income with our site. The relationship with MyFinance went away after the Federal Reserve pinned interest rates to the floor as the COVID-19 crisis spread.
We haven't bothered working with other ad networks since due to the sustained low interest rates & not wanting to run regular display ads on the site.

I very frequently get the question:
'What's going to change in the next 10 years?' And that is a very interesting question; it's a very common one. I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?' And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time. … [I]n our retail business, we know that customers want low prices, and I know that's going to be true 10 years from now. They want fast delivery; they want vast selection. It's impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says, 'Jeff I love Amazon; I just wish the prices were a little higher,' [or] 'I love Amazon; I just wish you'd deliver a little more slowly.' Impossible. And so the effort we put into those things, spinning those things up, we know the energy we put into it today will still be paying off dividends for our customers 10 years from now. When you have something that you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it." - Jeff Bezos
