My Consumer Finance publishes clear, practical guides on everyday money decisions: credit, debt, saving, insurance basics, tax basics, investing basics, and how to compare purchase-financing offers. We write for people making the payments.
Who this site is for
- People comparing how to pay for a car repair, home project, dental treatment, or online purchase
- Readers who want plain-language explainers on credit scores, APR, fees, and soft vs hard credit checks
- Anyone who prefers examples and checklists over jargon
My Consumer Finance is an education site, not a lender or broker, and we don’t take applications.
What we cover
Guides explain how common products work, what they cost, and which questions to ask before you sign. Topic pages are cost and payment guides for each purchase type (auto, medical, home, dental, and more). Start from All guides or the topics index.
Editorial standards
- We cite sources readers can check: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), federal data and statutes, and named credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) when reports or scores are the topic.
- If you spot an error, use the contact form. We correct factual mistakes and note material updates when we make them.
- We do not take affiliate commissions or lender compensation for featuring products. Educational disclaimers appear on topic and guide pages.
