About
Publisher
Stefan Seyfang publishes Broke by Choice and is responsible for topic selection, the calculations, and source checking. The postal address is in the imprint, and the same person is the responsible editor under section 18(2) of the German Interstate Media Treaty (MStV).
Jakob Kremshuber
Articles on this site appear under this name. It is a pen name, not a second person: the publisher stands behind it, named in full and with a postal address in the imprint. There is deliberately no CV here – what you can check is the work, not the person.
How we work
- Every claimed number has a source with a retrieval date. Every calculated number has a calculator where you can check it yourself.
- Comparisons are re-checked quarterly. The review date sits above the article, not in the fine print.
- Affiliate links carry an asterisk, and who pays for them is named on the disclosure page.
- We joke about habits, never about people. Where poverty is structural we say so and point onward.
- Language models help with drafting and editing. Nothing a model produces about numbers, deadlines, or the law reaches this site unchecked: every claimed figure is held against the source it names, every calculated one comes from a calculator on this site. A person stands behind the content, not a model.
The Five-Dollar Slap
Once a week: one money trap, one way out. No fluff, no sharing your address.
Double opt-in, your address is never shared, one click to unsubscribe – and that deletes your address rather than just switching it off.
