How Beacon’s money guides are made

Who publishes these guides

Beacon is an interactive financial-education product from Lighthouse Companies, LLC. The guides are published under the Beacon name. A Beacon byline identifies the publisher; it does not claim that a licensed financial professional wrote or reviewed the article.

Sources and examples

These guides use public sources such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the SEC’s Investor.gov. Source links appear beside the relevant sections and at the end of each guide so you can check the original explanation.

Worked examples are illustrative calculations with stated assumptions. They are not customer results, current product offers, forecasts, or promises about your finances. The guides are written separately from Beacon’s interactive lessons and assessment questions.

AI assistance and review dates

This guide collection was created with AI-assisted research and drafting. Primary sources and worked calculations were checked during preparation. The guides have not been independently reviewed by a licensed financial professional. AI assistance can introduce mistakes; links to the sources let readers inspect the basis for an explanation.

An article’s updated date records its content revision. It does not mean every linked source was published on that date, and it does not change automatically when the website is deployed.

Scope and corrections

The guides focus on U.S. personal-finance education and do not account for your individual circumstances. Account terms and rules can change. Check the relevant institution or official source before using an example to make a decision.

To flag a correction, email support@lighthousecompanies.pro with the guide title, the passage, and a supporting source if available. Do not include account numbers or other sensitive personal information.
