To celebrate, we've combed through decades of our print magazines to uncover hidden gems, fascinating stories and vintage personal finance tips that have (surprisingly) withstood the test of time. Throughout 2022, we'll be sharing our favorite finds in this special newsletter. Ready to dive into the archive? It's no secret that Money has produced a ton of important journalism over the years. On our website right now, there are more than 23,000 articles, including personal finance guides, deeply reported features and data-driven rankings. We've won at least three Gerald Loeb Awards, been nominated for an Emmy Award and more. Once, Al Gore even mentioned Money during a vice presidential debate.

"You can even pull back to a satellite photo of a particular street, complete with price estimates for every house on the block," we wrote excitedly. 💰 Extra pepperoni, please: In 1994, Money teamed up with a polling company to quiz hundreds of American workers about their jobs, and people got reeeal honest. Not only did 19% of respondents admit to spending multiple hours goofing off while on the clock, but also, when asked "Which do you like more, your job or pizza?" a quarter chose pizza. SHOW ME THE MONEY   Critics say Money is for the birds. This 1978 cover proves them right. TEST YOUR MONEY MEMORY In 1972, we wrote about a device, ranging in price between $60 and $400, that was "almost irresistible when seen in action for the first time."
