Greg covers the cost side: how a flat fee becomes an annual rate, what an offer totals by the due date, and where charges hide that the advertised price leaves out.

Every figure in his guides can be recomputed from the numbers on the page. He states the formula in words first, applies it to three real products, then says what the result means for your next paycheck.

  • Recomputes every APR from the source inputs
  • States the formula in words before using it

What Greg Covers

Cost math: APR, fees, interest and worked examples. Every cost figure in these guides is recomputed from the fee, the amount and the term, and every legal claim names the statute or the regulator behind it. Where the answer changes by state, the guide says so and links the state page rather than pretending one rule fits everyone.

Flash Cash Advance is a loan request service, not a lender, and it earns a referral fee when a request is matched. That is disclosed on every page and it has no bearing on what these guides say a fair offer looks like. No writer here ranks lenders, accepts payment for placement, or quotes approval rates.
