How to reach us

Email hello@onemilliondollars.org. There is no contact form here on purpose — this site is static, loads no third-party scripts, and collects nothing from visitors, and a form would break all three of those. Copy the address into your own mail client and send.

Put the topic in the subject line. "Correction: $100k table", "Suggestion: HSA page", and "Question about the 7% assumption" all get sorted correctly in about two seconds. "Hello" does not.

Reporting a correction

This is the message we most want to receive. Being correct matters more here than being first, and a reader who catches a bad number is doing the single most useful thing anyone can do for the site. Three things make a correction actionable:

• The page URL, not the page title — several pages quote overlapping figures.
• The specific figure you think is wrong, quoted as it appears, so we can find it in the source text.
• The source that contradicts it — ideally the primary document (a Federal Reserve survey, an IRS page, a published report) rather than an article summarising one.

Corrections jump the queue ahead of everything else in the inbox. Material ones are made promptly and noted on the page itself rather than quietly swapped, and the whole process is written down in the editorial policy. If you would rather not compose an argument, "the number in the third table looks off" is still worth sending. We would rather chase a false alarm than leave a wrong figure up.

Questions and topic suggestions

Suggestions for pages that should exist, or for a section of an existing page that explains something badly, are genuinely useful — tell us what you were trying to work out and where the site left you stuck. That framing is more helpful than a proposed headline.

For questions, the answer is often already published. If it is a "how long would this take me" question, the calculator will answer it faster than we can, since it runs the same math the pages do. If it is a "what is the actual sequence" question, how to make a million dollars lays out the whole route. If a term tripped you up, check the glossary first. And if you want to know who runs this and why, that is the about page.

What we can't do

Some requests arrive regularly and the answer is always no. It is not evasion — doing any of these would make the site worse:

• Personalised financial advice. We publish education, not advice. Nothing here accounts for your income, taxes, debts, or timeline, and an email exchange does not change that.
• Portfolio reviews. Please don't send holdings, balances, or account statements. They will not get a useful reply, and we would rather not have them.
• Naming a specific fund, broker, or advisor for you. Pages will name a fund category — an S&P 500 or total-market index fund — because that is informative. Picking one for your situation is a job for someone who knows your situation.
• Paid placements. No sponsored posts, no paid links, no link insertions into existing articles, no "we noticed a broken link and happen to have a replacement" outreach. These are deleted unread, and the rate you offer is not the issue.

What to expect back

This is a small operation, not a support desk, so replies are measured in days rather than hours — often a week when the question needs research to answer properly. Corrections are handled faster than that even when the reply is slow: the fix to the page usually lands before the email does. Everything gets read. Not everything gets a reply, particularly generic outreach.

For anything with real money at stake, a qualified professional who can see your full picture is worth more than any email we could send.
