About WowMillion
Money made readable, for people with real lives and real bills.
WowMillion started with a complaint. A reader of one of our editors' old newspaper columns wrote in to say she had read four articles about interest rates that week and still had no idea whether she should fix her mortgage. Every piece was accurate. None of them was useful.
That gap is the whole reason this site exists.
What we do
We cover personal finance and the economy for people who are not in finance. Our test for publishing an article is simple: after reading it, can someone do something differently on Monday morning? If the answer is no, the piece gets sent back.
How we work
- We show the maths. If we say an index fund beat a savings account, you get the numbers and the time period, not a vibe.
- We date everything. Rates, thresholds and prices change. Every article carries a publication date and gets revisited when the underlying number moves.
- We separate reporting from advertising. Ads pay the bills. Advertisers never see an article before it publishes and never influence what we say.
- We correct openly. Mistakes get fixed at the top of the page, with a note saying what changed.
