Editorial Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Our Standards

Small Space Living Costs is committed to creating practical, honest, and useful content about reducing everyday living costs. This policy outlines how we approach our content.

Content Principles

Practical Focus

We prioritize advice that works in real-world situations. We focus on sustainable habits over extreme measures, and we acknowledge that different approaches work for different people.

No Financial Advice

We explicitly do not provide financial, tax, investment, or legal advice. Our content focuses on lifestyle choices, habits, and efficiency—not financial planning. Consult appropriate professionals for financial decisions.

No Specific Promises

We do not promise specific dollar amounts or percentages of savings. Results vary significantly based on individual circumstances. Our goal is to share principles and strategies, not guarantees.

Honesty

We acknowledge trade-offs and limitations. Not every strategy works for everyone. We don't promote deprivation or shame-based motivation.

What We Cover

• Utility and household efficiency
• Shopping habits and consumer choices
• Everyday expense awareness

What We Don't Cover

Product Mentions

Independence

Our editorial content is independent from advertising. Advertisers do not influence what we cover or recommend.

Limitations

Our content provides general guidance, not professional advice. We cannot account for every individual situation. Apply judgment to your specific circumstances.
