Affiliate Practices
This site earns income through affiliate relationships with some of the companies mentioned within including, but not limited to Amazon and Empower Personal Wealth, LLC (“EPW”). As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. EPW compensates Two Sides of FI for new leads. Two Sides of FI is not an investment client of Personal Capital Advisors Corporation or Empower Advisory Group, LLC.
Importantly, these programs do NOT result in any additional cost to you, and the affiliate money we earn allows us to support the web hosting and other infrastructure fees for Two Sides of FI without cluttering the site with ads. Before listing a product we will have first purchased the item or service ourselves, so all product recommendations will be for products that we found made our lives easier/better in some way. We are very selective with the products we recommend.

Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics

In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement.
