Money words, in plain English.
One term per page, defined without jargon. If you have to look up another word to understand the first one, we have not done the job.
Cash
Everyday-money words — accounts, balances, holds, transfers, and the buffers around them.
Debt
How borrowing actually works — the rate, the statement, the grace period, the minimum.
Investing & net worth
Long-horizon vocabulary — accounts, funds, fees, and the words that describe growth.
The fine print
Data plumbing and consumer protections — the wiring you should be able to see.
Missing a word? The list will grow. If a term you meet on the rest of the site is not here yet, it is almost certainly on the next batch.
Plumb is financial education, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice.
