This site is not primarily financially driven. In fact, ALL content is actually free!

BUT, it doesn’t necessarily make the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) jump for joy. In December of 2009, the FTC required bloggers to disclose when there could be any hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.

Disclaimers all over the place. This would be tedious for me and even more tedious for readers. But rules is rules. To cover my ass and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every link and product I use, the following all hold true:
