Editorial standards

Plain-language guides, checked against real sources.

Get Life Sorted publishes practical educational guides for everyday money, work, insurance, legal basics, and life admin decisions. The goal is to make confusing adult paperwork easier to understand without pretending one article can replace personalized professional advice.

Who writes the guides

The site is written by an anonymous editor with a business minor, professional experience across insurance and fintech, and lived experience managing ordinary credit cards, bank accounts, insurance policies, and retirement accounts.

How claims are checked

When a guide depends on rules, deadlines, definitions, consumer protections, or program details, it is checked against primary or authoritative sources where possible. Common sources include IRS, CFPB, FTC, SEC and Investor.gov, HealthCare.gov, Department of Labor, NAIC, HUD, state agencies, and official program pages.

What sources mean here

Source links are included to help readers verify important claims and continue research. They are not endorsements, affiliate links, paid placements, or a claim that the source reviewed the guide.

Review cadence

High-change topics, such as taxes, benefits, healthcare, credit rules, and consumer protections, are reviewed when major rules change and periodically as the site is maintained. Every article shows a last-reviewed date near the top.

Corrections

If something looks wrong, outdated, unclear, or overconfident, send a note to hello@getlifesorted.com. Corrections are prioritized when they affect safety, money, legal rights, taxes, insurance coverage, or eligibility for public programs.

What this site is not

Get Life Sorted does not provide individualized financial, legal, tax, insurance, investment, employment, or medical advice. Articles are starting points for understanding the decision in front of you. For high-stakes decisions, confirm current rules and talk to a qualified professional when appropriate.
