176                <p>Grant Sabatier created Millennial Money in 2015 as a side hustle while he was working as a higher education consultant. Millennial Money was one of the first websites to write about side hustling and became a popular platform within the FIRE movement (Financial Independence Retire Early).<p>Since 2015, more than 30 million readers have visited Millennial Money to learn about how to save more money, start a <a href="https://millennialmoney.com/best-side-hustles/">side hustle</a>, make more money, invest intelligently, fast-track financial independence, and reach <a href="https://millennialmoney.com/early-retirement-strategy/">early retirement</a>.</p><p>The website is still owned by Grant Sabatier today after it was acquired by The Motley Fool in October 2020 and re-acquired by Grant through his holding company, MMG Media Group, in July 2022.

353                <p>This website is an independent, advertising-supported comparison service. We want to help you make personal finance decisions with confidence by providing you with free interactive tools, helpful data points, and by publishing original and objective content.</p>
354                <p>We work hard to share thorough research and our honest experience with products and brands. Of course, personal finance is personal so one person’s experience may differ from someone else’s, and estimates based on past performance do not guarantee future results. As such, our advice may not apply directly to your individual situation. We are not financial advisors and we recommend you consult with a financial professional before making any serious financial decisions.</p>
355
356                <p class="h6">How We Make Money</p>
357                <p>We make money from affiliate relationships with companies that we personally believe in. This means that, at no additional cost to you, we may get paid when you click on a link.</p>
358                <p>This compensation may impact how and where products appear on this site (including, for example, the order in which they appear), but <em>does not</em> influence our editorial integrity. We <em>do not</em> sell specific rankings on any of our “best of” posts or take money in exchange for a positive review.</p><p>At the end of the day, our readers come first and your trust is very important to us. We will always share our sincere opinions, and we are selective when choosing which companies to partner with.</p>
359                <p>The revenue these partnerships generate gives us the opportunity to pay our great team of writers for their work, as well as continue to improve the website and its content.</p>

361                <p class="h6">Editorial Disclosure</p>
362                <p class="mb-0">Opinions expressed in our articles are solely those of the writer. The information regarding any product was independently collected and was not provided nor reviewed by the company or issuer. The rates, terms and fees presented are accurate at the time of publication, but these change often. We recommend verifying with the source to confirm the most up to date information.</p>
