About the Editor

Mark Lee · Editor · Fact-checker

Hi — I'm Mark Lee, the editor behind Finlume. Every article here passes through me before it goes live.

Let me be upfront: I'm not a licensed financial advisor, and Finlume isn't a financial institution — it's an education site. I started it because most money content online is either a sales pitch or theory with no edges. So Finlume sticks to the universal principles — compounding, fees, diversification, risk — that hold up no matter where you live.

My role is accuracy. Before anything publishes, I cross-check the figures against primary sources, remove claims the data doesn't support, and label assumptions clearly. When something's wrong, I fix it — spot an error? Email contact@finlume.net.

Nothing here is individualized investment, tax, or legal advice. For decisions specific to your situation, consult a qualified professional.
