A short comment from the desk rounds it off, and the footer always carries an exit.
The gist
What you get
No hype
We do not cover anything that depends on acting quickly.
Small steps
One thing worth checking, rather than a full financial overhaul.
Plain language
If a term needs explaining, we explain it rather than assuming.
Household scale
Written for ordinary incomes, not for portfolio management.
The essentials
Before you sign up
How do I opt out?
Every issue carries an unsubscribe link. Removal is immediate, and the only thing we retain is a note not to contact you.
Do you sell or share my email address?
We do not trade addresses. The only people who see yours are the ones who send the email.
Is there a paid tier?
Yes. There is nothing to buy and no account to create.
Does the newsletter contain adverts?
Yes — some issues carry third-party offers. They are labelled, and anything you do on the advertiser's site is between you and them.
How much email is this?
One issue a fortnight, plus offers from advertisers we work with.
Is there tracking in the emails?
We log opens and clicks. It is how a dormant address gets removed instead of being mailed forever.
Get it weekly
Boring finance, which is the good kind.
