We do our best to get things right the first time, but mistakes happen — outdated numbers, a broken link, a detail that changed after we published. Here’s how we handle it when they do.
How We Handle Corrections
Minor corrections — typos, broken links, formatting fixes, small clarifications that don’t change the meaning or advice in an article — are made directly, without a formal note.
Substantive corrections — anything that corrects a material fact or figure, or meaningfully changes the guidance or overall meaning of an article — are handled differently:
- We fix the error in the article itself.
- We add a short note at the bottom of the article stating what was corrected and the date it was updated.
- We prioritize reviews of time-sensitive articles in Money and Health & Wellness — such as tax figures, contribution limits, and health information — when important figures, rules, or guidance change.
Example
Update (August 2026): This article originally listed the 2025 IRA contribution limit. It has been updated to reflect the current limit for 2026.
How to Report an Error
If you spot something that looks outdated, incorrect, or unclear, we want to know. Email us at hello@wisestepdaily.com with:
- A link to the article
- What you believe is incorrect or outdated
- A source, if you have one (this helps us verify and fix it faster)
We review correction reports and update articles when a reported issue is verified.
Why This Matters
Some of what we cover — particularly in Money and Health & Wellness — can influence real decisions readers make. We’d rather correct a mistake quickly and transparently than leave it standing.
