So – I am looking forward to be a full part of the community! Take care!

I mean more in a social sense: they're interested in financial security and establishing a safe foundation for themselves and their family instead of spending their twenty-third year backpacking across Europe. I sometimes forget in the charged politicization of the era that conservative quite often refers to political conservativism and whatever that means.

I'm a twentysomething. I both read personal finance blogs and write one. I definitely don't write for a conservative audience, and I'm kind of turned off by people who do. I guess I think a pretty large portion of the personal finance blogosphere is occupied by non-finance professionals who just want to learn to manage their money so they can pursue their goals--not people whose actual goals are monetary. Basically, I write for people like me--people starting out in life and trying to figure out their finances without becoming money-obsessed or materialistic. (Perhaps that's why my readership is small!) Thanks for this excellent series, regardless.
