I strongly suspect you must be under 25 to enjoy the blog. The sample is at least well written, but that is clearly his audience. Unlike some of the other finance gurus, he advocates keeping enough money for your "fun" account to feel like you have a life (of course, "fun" includes lunches out, nights on the town, clothing for dating, cabs, etc ... he's not afraid to tell you those are not necessities), as this age group has just finished college (with lots of debt, often), have just increased their income and are in (what are now) their prime dating years. He also lays out that if you are considering getting married or having a house in the next decade, that you need to start saving for it (and quit relying on mom and dad for money or money advice ... did I say his audience is all 22 and just out of school?).
I also read getrichslowly (he is supposed to have a short "article" in the book) and that's where I've read the author's guest posts (which are often quite thorough).
