Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) is a term used in Google's Rater Document to describe websites that potentially impact "future happiness, health, financial stability, or safety of users". The YMYL document cites financial information pages (Section 2.3) as "webpages that provide advice or information about investments, taxes, retirement planning, home purchase, paying for college, buying insurance, etc."
Google Raters - those real humans that scrutinise search results by reviewing results - will seek to validate your experience by way of your content, your experience, and your 'EAT score' (Expertise, Authority, and Trust).
In terms of evaluating EAT, Google wants to know who you are, how qualified you are, and how you're represented elsewhere on the Internet. Think of the Rater team-member looking for you online (as a search engine would). Can they find your LinkedIn profile; does it portray you as a trusted, authoritative expert? Can the Rater find other social profiles such as Twitter? Are your social profiles active? Can Raters find you referenced in news media or industry journals? Have you demonstrated expertise via articles elsewhere on your website?
