About Us (& Blog Guidelines)

Thanks for visiting Money Hospital – the blog that's here to help you keep your personal finances healthy.

Our site started as the "Moneydoctor" email newsletter in 2006. Then by the end of that year we launched the full Money Hospital as a blog.

Now in 2008 we have expanded to a full web site featuring Guides, Advice services, various tools... lots of extra resources for you, basically!

We aim to encourage you to be independently minded about your finance issues, and we do this by making information accessible and by taking a relaxed approach to serious finance!  And we need your help too: we'd like you to feed back on our blog posts...

Blog Comment Guidelines:

First, we like to keep it clean here at the Money Hospital – and that goes for our blog too!  The blogosphere is great place to chat and we welcome comments & feedback on our posts.  To make it a pleasurable trip to the Money Hospital, please just remember these few guidelines:

  • Feel free to post things that are honest, critical and also funny
  • Please don't post anything that could be offensive, such as ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity etc.
  • We'd prefer not to edit or censor comments, but we'll do so with regard to anything we consider inappropriate.
  • Please think carefully about posting any claims that might be deemed libellous (i.e. anything that is untrue, or anything that cannot be supported by reasonable evidence and which would do damage to a person's or business's reputation). Remember that any comments that are libellous will come back to haunt you as you will be deemed fully liable and could even get sued!
  • Please do comment about the site itself – we welcome ideas, suggestions and improvements.  Or you can also email us at
  • Do come back and visit us often…we like to hear from you
  • As well as leaving comments feel free to leave us small gifts too.  We like biscuits and cake…..
  • This blog is based on journalistic research and it does not constitute financial advice. Any information must not be considered in isolation or used by you to make (or refrain from making) any decision. The blog contains general information, and as such it will not be tailored to your specific circumstances. All tips are therefore followed at your own risk and should be followed up with your own research or your own independent advisor.

You will notice that sometimes there are links in the articles to various other sites, companies, services or products.  Some of these links naturally make us money but they are only ever used because we think they will be helpful and are in context. i.e. we never shoe-horn anything in that doesn't belong, just to make a quick buck!

In this way you can relay on us to be 100% impartial for your benefit.
