There are things to conserve beside money and possessions. Culture, institutions, religions, & values are all things that some people wish to conserve (keep the same), that doesn’t necessarily make those people conservatives. There are parts of my culture, and cultural values that are changing, that I wish would remain unchanged, but that doesn’t mean I identify as conservative or with conservatives.
Becoming more conservative is a result of having amassed a fortune to protect. No fortune, nothing to conserve.

To some extent I think you are preserving culture. It’s only conservative if you want to keep it all for yourself.
