Definetaly been a word on top of my vocabulary as of late, that I find "classic liberalism" seems to be indistinguishable from.

I don't know what kind of libertarian I might fall under, but I find very little of it disagreeable. Maximize freedom for the individual, minimize government. The things I see being an issue is what makes me leftist, in that I do think a bit of socialism is a necessary evil where healthcare, prisons, education and infrastructure are concerned. I see a social safety net for those down on their luck being needed. I don't view businesses as individuals, and think they do deserve careful legislation with the underpinning principle that regulations should seek to discourage businesses exploiting workers and consumers but that the market should be otherwise free. But the problem is, enforcing or creating that increases the size of government.

I might be wholly socially libertarian, but the way I'd describe my financial attitude is "cautious". but yeah, not sure what it would make me.

You might take a look at left libertarianism. They claim "Free Markets and Social Justice".
