About Bigger Investing

Bigger Investing is an independent personal finance and investing education site founded by Mauricio. We help beginners navigate the world of investing with honest, research-backed guides, app reviews, and book recommendations.

Our Mission

We believe everyone deserves access to clear, jargon-free investing education. Too many financial sites are written for experts or are thinly disguised sales pitches. Bigger Investing exists to bridge that gap — providing the kind of straightforward guidance we wish we had when we started investing.

What We Cover

Our content spans the topics that matter most to new and intermediate investors: getting started with investing, choosing the right brokerage or investing app, understanding retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s, budgeting tools, ETFs, index funds, dividend investing, and building long-term wealth. We also maintain one of the most comprehensive collections of curated book recommendations in the personal finance space.

Our Editorial Process

Every guide and review on Bigger Investing goes through a thorough research process. When we review investing apps or budgeting tools, we sign up, test them ourselves, and share our real experience. We cite authoritative sources including the SEC, FINRA, IRS, and Investor.gov for any regulatory or tax-related information. Our content is regularly updated to reflect current rules, rates, and market conditions.

About the Founder

Mauricio is an investor, researcher, and writer with a passion for making financial literacy accessible to everyone. His experience spans years of personal investing across stocks, ETFs, index funds, and real estate. With years of hands-on investing experience across stocks, ETFs, index funds, and real estate, Mauricio founded Bigger Investing to share the practical lessons learned from real experience — so others can make more informed decisions with their money.

Our Editorial Standards

As a personal finance and investing site, we take accuracy seriously. Every article on Bigger Investing goes through a multi-step process: research using authoritative sources (SEC filings, FINRA guidelines, and primary data from brokerages), fact-checking of key claims and figures, and regular content reviews to ensure information stays current. When we review investing apps and financial products, we sign up, test them with real money, and document our experience — because a hands-on review is the only kind worth reading. Content is updated regularly, and each post displays a “Last Updated” date so you always know how recent our information is.

How We Make Money

Bigger Investing is reader-supported. When you click certain links on our site and sign up for a product, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the site running and our content free. Our recommendations are never influenced by compensation — we only recommend products we have personally tested and believe in.
