Financial content ages. Tax brackets shift, contribution limits change, interest rates move, and sometimes we simply get something wrong. Here’s what happens when that’s caught.
How to report an error
Email contact@gospend.com with the page URL and a description of what looks wrong. We read every report.
What happens next
- We verify the claim against the original source (see our Editorial Standards for what counts as a source here).
- If it’s wrong, we correct it directly in the article or calculator.
- For a factual correction (a number, a date, a figure), we update the page’s “last updated” date so it’s clear the content was revised.
- For a substantial correction — one that changes the conclusion of a piece, not just a detail — we note what changed and when, directly on the page.
Outdated, not wrong
Some content becomes outdated rather than incorrect — a contribution limit that was accurate for the year it was published but has since changed. We review published posts periodically and update stale figures rather than leaving them to mislead by omission.
