Kiplinger's Personal Finance (KIP-ling-ers) is a magazine that has been continuously published, on a monthly basis, from 1947 to the present day.[citation needed] It was the nation's first personal finance magazine, and claims to deliver "sound, unbiased advice in clear, concise language".[citation needed] It offers tips and tricks on managing money and achieving financial security, as well as information and practical guidance on saving, investing, planning for retirement, paying for college, and buying automobiles, homes and other major purchases. Janet Bodnar has been the editor of Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine since January 2009.

Founded because "times will always be changing"

W.M. Kiplinger, founder of the Kiplinger family of publications, said he founded the magazine because "The times will always be changing. Much of life and work consists of looking for the changes in advance and figuring out what to do about them."[citation needed] Upon initial production, the magazine was known simply as Kiplinger Magazine, changing its name to Changing Times in 1949 and acquiring its present name in 1991.

Much like Forbes magazine, ownership of the Kiplinger's franchise has been kept in the family. The current editor-in-chief is Knight Kiplinger who succeeded his father, Austin H. Kiplinger.
