Overall it looks good. There are a couple members who share the theme and its a good one. I would recommend removing your feedburner subscribers count as it only tells me that your site is new or doesn't have a lot of subscribers. I do like that you have an about page. Overall it's a nice blog :)

I cannot say much about the content, but here are a few nitpicks about the design.

There are a few */ /* characters at the top and end of the page which look like some commenting in the source went wrong. You should check this.

The header images are a bit too generic in my opinion. Try to replace them by something more "financial". Money, bills and stuff comes to mind. Oh and what are the header texts for? The "// you're reading..." header in an article doesn't make much sense to me.

I'd also change the fonts for text and headlines. Generally try to use sans-serif fonts for the text and serif fonts for headlines - much beter to read on a computer screen in my opinion.

Thank you all for your comments. Splitbrain I realized that mistake yesterday and corrected it... the /* */ characters that is. Thanks for pointing it out though. I agree about the header images, and I am working on creating something a little more friendly to my subject.

Overall thanks for all the comments. I did make a few changes to my blog recently so if anyone else has any further comments please do leave them for me. Thanks!
