Editorial Policy
Last updated: April 24, 2026
The Jaded Millennial publishes general informational content on money, health, family, and life improvement for adults in their 40s. This page explains how we research, write, and review that content — and where the lines are.
1. Our Editorial Mission
We write for people who grew up without a financial or health literacy education and are figuring it out now. That means we prioritize plain language, honest framing, and practical usefulness over polish, pageviews, or advertiser relationships. If something is complicated, we say it's complicated. If the answer genuinely depends on your individual situation, we say that too.
2. What We Cover
Our four content categories:
- Money: Personal finance, investing basics, retirement, insurance, debt, and related topics for people who did not receive a financial education growing up.
- Health: Health awareness, preventive care, and medical literacy — written to help readers have better conversations with their doctors, not to replace those conversations.
- Family: Relationships, parenting, aging parents, and the particular challenges of middle-aged family life.
- Life Hacks: Specific, implementable changes — to finances, routines, relationships, or households — that produce outsized results relative to their effort.
3. Sourcing Standards
For factual claims — especially in Money and Health articles — we rely on primary or authoritative sources wherever possible. These include:
- Government sources: IRS, Social Security Administration, Medicare.gov, NIH, CDC, USDA
- Peer-reviewed medical and financial research
- Major financial institutions and recognized professional organizations (AARP, CFP Board, etc.)
- Official legislative text for laws and regulations
We do not cite other content sites or blogs as primary sources. When we use statistics, we link to the original source. We note when figures are estimates or projections.
4. What We Are Not
We are not financial advisors, doctors, lawyers, or licensed professionals of any kind. Nothing on this site is advice. We are explicit about this throughout the site and in our full disclaimer. Our content is educational and informational; it is not a substitute for professional guidance tailored to your individual situation.
5. Corrections Policy
We make mistakes. When we do, we correct them promptly and note the correction in the article. We do not silently alter published content to remove errors. If you believe we've published something factually incorrect, contact us at contact@thejadedmillennial.com with the specific claim and your source. We take these seriously.
6. Advertising Independence
This site is monetized through advertising, including Google AdSense. Advertising relationships do not influence what we write, what topics we cover, what conclusions we reach, or what products we mention or recommend. Advertisers do not review content before publication. Sponsored or affiliate content, if any, is clearly labeled.
See our full advertising disclosure for more detail.
7. Content Updates
Financial and health information changes. We make reasonable efforts to update articles when significant changes occur — new tax rules, updated medical guidance, regulatory changes — but we cannot guarantee that every article reflects the current state of affairs. Publication and update dates are displayed on articles. Always verify time-sensitive information against current official sources.
