DORADO, Puerto Rico, Oct. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fifty years ago this month, Money was introduced as a place "to discuss in detail how to make, save, invest, and spend money." The iconic brand would go on to be part of cultural moments, mentioned in the 1996 vice-presidential debate, called out by Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA as preferred airplane reading, and recognized by the U.S. government for its efforts in promoting financial literacy to communities. A half century later, Money has netted numerous prestigious awards including an Emmy Award nomination, Gerald Loeb Award, National Magazine Award for General Excellence in Media, and Henry R. Luce Award for Lifetime Achievement. Now as a profitable digital business with millions of monthly users, Money celebrates its 50^th anniversary with new and exciting offerings for visitors.

To mark the 50^th anniversary, the Money team unveils a series of initiatives including the launch of Money Archives which will feature over 500 archived magazines starting from the first issue in October 1972, as well as, new analysis of stories from those years. The digital library will chronicle the deep history and evolution of the Money brand over the last 50 years—uncovering hidden gems, fascinating stories, and vintage personal finance tips that have withstood the test of time. The Money team also breaks down the cultural impact of the brand, how it became a trusted source of financial education for the last 50 years, and why it's a destination for millions of people looking to take control of their future and make life-changing decisions. The 500 issues will become live over time, starting with a collection of five at launch.

In addition, Money editors will curate a collection of insightful "Then and Now" stories on Money.com, diving deep into past articles written over the years and giving a twist with up-to-date commentary on financial advice, what was happening in that moment, and the hits and misses.
