Disclaimer

Allmyfriendsaredebt.com is an opinion based website written and edited entirely by me, sole owner of Allmyfirnedsaredebt.com. I am not a professional financial adviser, certified personal financial planner, registered investment advisor, CPA, retirement planner, or anything of that sort. I am just a millennial sharing his own opinions. The information provided by me, either on this website or through other methods of communication, does not constitute direction or advice. Allmyfriendsaredebt.com makes no representations as to the accuracy, suitability, timeliness, completeness, or validity of any information on this site and will not be liable for any errors, omissions, or any losses, injuries, or damages arising from its display or use. Any mention to any specific securities on this site are my own, unprofessional opinions. Always do your own research and consider consulting a professional before any investment decision.

Note: This page is required by the regulators. Tim Ferris is awesome and I took up his offer to borrow the text and images from his disclosure page, instead of coming up with my own.

This blog was created to share my experience as a millennial learning about the world of personal finance.

FTC Disclosure:

Per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to disclose this. Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place. This would be tedious for me and even more tedious for readers. But rules is rules. To cover my butt and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every link and product I use, the following all hold true:
