Our methodology
How we prepare lessons and money guides.
Money Moves MA is a student-led financial education project. Our lessons and articles explain decisions students face and show where factual information comes from.
Official sources and visible examples
We use primary guidance from agencies such as the IRS, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Student Aid, FDIC, SEC, FTC, and Mass.gov. Articles link to their sources and explain what each supports. Fictional budgets, account comparisons, and investment scenarios are labeled as illustrations. They are not product quotes or predictions.
Who publishes this content
Guides are published by Money Moves MA. Our About page identifies the student founders. AI tools assist with drafting, calculations, source research, and site production. A publication date or source-check date does not mean a licensed financial professional reviewed the article. We do not label a guide as professionally reviewed unless that review is actually documented.
Education and individual decisions
Our content is general education, not personal financial, investment, tax, credit, or legal advice. An example cannot account for everyone’s circumstances. Check current official rules, a provider’s written terms, or a qualified professional when making a decision that depends on your own situation.
Dates and changing information
Blog guides show a publication date and the date their sources were checked. Lesson pages show their recorded review month. Rules, rates, and eligibility can change after those dates. Dates should change when the underlying content is substantively updated, rather than simply to make an older page look new.
Corrections
If you find an error, share the page URL, the statement you think is wrong, and a supporting source. Use the public contact details in the footer, or the contact form and choose “Other.” Please do not send account numbers, tax documents, passwords, or other private financial information.
Partnership and speaker affiliations
Money Moves MA is proudly partnered with Fidelity Investments. Other organizations named on the site may identify a speaker’s professional affiliation; that does not mean the organization reviewed or endorsed every lesson, article, or event.
