About
Finance Pulse is a personal finance blog built for Millennials and Gen Z who want to take control of their money without the jargon, gatekeeping, or condescending tone that plagues most financial content.
No jargon. No gatekeeping. No 800-page textbooks.
Most personal finance advice falls into two camps: oversimplified ("just stop buying coffee") or overwhelming (800-page investment textbooks). Neither helps someone who is trying to figure out whether to open a Roth IRA, how to pay off student loans, or which credit card actually makes sense for their spending.
Finance Pulse fills that gap. We write detailed, practical guides that assume you are smart but not a finance expert.
Founded by a team of personal finance enthusiasts who believe financial literacy should be accessible to everyone.
We are not certified financial advisors. For personalized advice, see a fee-only fiduciary advisor.
All your money decisions
- Investing
- Budgeting & Saving
- Credit cards & Debt
- Retirement & FIRE
- Insurance
- Home & Taxes
Every article aims at one specific decision: the IRA you have been meaning to open, the card you should cancel, the rate you should lock in. Not a vague vibe.
Three rules
- Research-based. Primary sources: IRS, SEC, FDIC, the Fed. Not other blogs.
- Regularly updated. Financial products change. We review and revise to stay current.
- Honest. When a product has drawbacks, we say so. Pros and cons, every time.
