    I'm a details guy. Details people aren't as sexy or impressive as big-picture people the way they're described here.

    Just watch out for the lazy person disguised as a big picture person. It's one thing to add value by being the big picture person and quite another to be one just so you don't have to trouble yourself with doing any work.

    "One of the most apt criticisms you could make of the writing I do on brip blap would be that I’m awfully big picture."

    But that's exactly why I read this blog. Most finance blogs are focused on the details, but there's only enough room for so many blogs to write about how to save money or how credit card debt can add up.

    If you're a details person, that's who you are, so go ahead and try to find a way to make it unique. But if you're already unique, then don't apologize for it!

    Then again, this is coming from a fellow big picture person...
