This week has been an extremely busy one for me this week, especially with the announcement of the Carnival of Financial Goals, and the concurrent iPod giveaway. The response has been wonderful. So far, right around 100 people have shared their 2008 financial resolution with me, by either leaving a comment on my site or writing their resolution on their own site. There is still plenty of time to enter, and I hope everyone takes the chance to enter the giveaway for a free 4GB iPod nano that will take place here next week. The giveaway ends December 4th at 11:59 PM, Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
