How we create these resources
The resource guides use AI-assisted drafting to organize topics and explain unfamiliar terms in plain language. Official references are linked on each page, alongside the date they were checked. A source-check date is not a professional financial review.
- Plain words. Ideas explained through animated stories and concrete examples.
- Room for trade-offs. Different lives can call for different decisions.
- Primary sources before publication. Our publishing checklist calls for references to official Social Security Administration and other relevant government guidance, with review dates and clearly labeled illustrative examples.
- A way to keep learning. Episode pages are built to include transcripts, chapters and primary sources once the videos are published.
Friendly’s Financial is an educational channel and does not offer financial advisory services. We explain general concepts, use clearly labeled examples, and link to original sources. We are independent of the Social Security Administration and other government agencies.
