The Money Chief Crew
We’re the brainiacs behind “The Money Chief”. This blog is your ticket to financial insights, with a side of entertainment. What you read here are our opinions and those of any guest writers joining our flight crew from time to time.
Remember, what we say here is not an official word from any financial advisory firm or tax firm. It’s just our two cents.
While we’re giving you the scoop on the financial world, our words aren’t gospel. These opinions are meant for general understanding. Your personal financial situation is as unique as your fingerprint, so treat our advice as a conversation starter, not a final game plan. If you’re plotting a financial course, get advice from your financial and tax pros.
Investing can be like flying through a storm – it comes with risks. Past achievements aren’t a promise for future results. When we share cool articles or link you to interesting reads, it’s because we find them cool – not because we’re getting anything out of it.
We’re avid readers, and sometimes we’ll point you to a book on Amazon that’s impressed us. We sometimes get paid a few cents if you pick it up. This is only to keep the lights on for this blog. Our opinions and recommendations are real and based on actually reading and/or using a recommendation. Take it or leave it. We’re just trying to help.
Privacy’s Our Policy:
We treat your info like our cockpit’s control – private and not for sharing. For the nitty-gritty details, dive into our privacy rules.
Found a link leading you outside our airspace? We’re not the captains there, so be cautious about what personal details you share.
Speaking Up on The Money Chief – Here’s the Deal:
Your Two Cents (Comments):
Drop a comment, and we’ll grab the basics from the form. For security (think of it as our anti-spam radar), we’ll also take a note of your IP and what browser you’re using.
Got a Gravatar? An encrypted version of your email might ping their service to check. Dive into their playbook on privacy here: Gravatar’s Privacy. If your comment gets the green light, others will see your Gravatar profile pic alongside it.
Sharing Snaps (Media):
If you’re uploading any pictures, make sure they aren’t giving away your location. Because savvy visitors might pick up that trail from the image.
Good ol’ Cookies:
Leaving a comment? You can choose to save your name and email in cookies, so you aren’t keying them in next time you’re here. These cookies stick around for a year.
Swinging by our login page? We drop a temporary cookie to check if you’re cookie-friendly – it vanishes when you shut your browser. Logging in? We’ll set some cookies for your login details and viewing preferences. They stick around for a couple of days, or a year for display choices. Tick “Remember Me”, and we’ll recall you for two weeks. Log out, and we wave goodbye to those cookies.
Drafting or updating an article? We’ll pop a cookie that remembers the post ID – it’s a brief guest, gone after a day.
Borrowed Bits (Embedded Content):
Our posts might have content sourced from other sites. Think of it as a digital loan – videos, pics, articles. It’s like you hopped over to their site directly.
Those sites might jot down some data, drop cookies, or have their own third-party trackers. Especially if you’re logged into their platform.

You can view or edit your info anytime, though changing usernames is a no-go. Our backstage team (website admins) can also access and edit this info.
Your Financial Data Rights:
Got an account or dropped comments here? You can ask for an export of your personal data with us. Fancy a clean slate? Request us to delete all your data. However, some info might stay for legal or admin reasons.
Data Flight Path:
Heads up: your comments might pass through automated spam filters.
