Our History

Launched in 2020, PGE Smart Spending Guide began as a side project to document practical money-saving techniques. Frustrated by the lack of unbiased resources, our founders compiled their own research into free, accessible guides.

The blog grew organically as readers shared our tools with friends and communities. Today, we’re a go-to reference for students, families, and professionals alike—all without paid advertising.

Our evolution reflects reader needs. Early posts covered basic budgeting; now, we tackle advanced topics like tax-efficient spending and automated expense tracking, always keeping explanations jargon-free.

Expert-Approved Strategies

100% Unbiased & Ad-Free

Since we’re non-commercial, you won’t find product promotions or affiliate links. Our recommendations are neutral, focusing solely on your financial improvement.

Why We Created This Blog

Managing money shouldn’t require a finance degree, yet most resources are either too technical or full of sponsored promotions. We launched PGE Smart Spending Guide to bridge that gap—offering straightforward, trustworthy advice for everyday spending challenges.

Our founders noticed how often people overspend simply because they lack the right tools. Expense reports, for example, are crucial yet rarely explained in simple terms. We demystify these topics, empowering readers to make informed decisions.

This blog is a passion project, not a revenue stream. Every article is crafted to solve real problems, from cutting grocery bills to optimizing recurring subscriptions. If it doesn’t help you save, we won’t publish it.

"I’ve read dozens of finance blogs, but PGE Smart Spending Guide stands out because it’s not trying to sell me anything. The expense management tips helped me cut $200/month in hidden costs I didn’t even notice. The budget templates are simple but effective—finally, a resource that respects my time and intelligence. I check every new post because I know I’ll learn something useful, not get pitched another ‘miracle’ app."
