Carnival of Financial Goals, Fifth Edition
Welcome to the fifth edition of the Carnival of Financial Goals! The purpose of this carnival is to recognize and learn from each other’s financial goals and how we are doing achieving them, as well as learning how to set financial goals. That being said, of the over 80 entries this month to the carnival, only 12 have been included as being about financial goals to keep the carnival focused on on topic.
I’ve split the entries into personal goals relating to finance, and posts that help teach how to create a good financial goal, with an editor’s pick at the top of each category. Enjoy the carnival and be sure to support the goals of other bloggers!

Great summary and overview, I’ve just been reading Pinyo’s goals at Moolanomy and can highly recommend this post as an inspiration for those looking to set personal and acheiveable goals to work towards. Pinyo deserves the rewards he is generating ($1,000) per month for all the hard work he puts in, but we can all learn something even if we are working on a smaller scale. The lesson is to think SMART. that is, to set goals that are Specific, Measurable, Acheivebale, Realistic, and Time focussed.
