Corrections and updates

Updated

When we correct something that could have affected a reader’s understanding or decision, we record it here: the date, the page, and what changed. Routine edits such as typos, wording that doesn’t change the meaning, new links and new sections aren’t listed. Each guide’s own “Updated” date shows when it last changed.

Spotted something we should correct? Email hello [at] accel-media [dot] com (replace [at] with @ and [dot] with a period) with “Correction” in the subject line, the page concerned, what’s wrong and, if you have it, a link to the source. See our editorial standards for how corrections are handled.

November 2026

8 November 2026, MoneyMaster: Emergency Fund: How Much You Need and Where to Keep It. The guide presented three to six months of essential costs as “the common guide” without a source. It now says the range is a rule of thumb rather than an official requirement, and notes that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s guide doesn’t set a number and says the amount depends on your situation.

8 November 2026, MoneyMaster: three guides. References to two guides that aren’t published yet (savings rate and your FI number) appeared as plain text with nothing to follow. They’re now marked “coming next”.

8 November 2026, Card Calculator: card spending plan template. The downloadable spreadsheet could give a misleading result when a spending cell was left blank, or when more than one card had a cap in the same category. The corrected template handles blank cells and flags categories it can’t model, and the guide now explains those limits.

7 November 2026, CruiseChampion: privacy notice. The notice said the site didn’t load a visit-statistics script. That was wrong: the site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics. The notice now says so and links to Cloudflare’s information.
