Weekly Roundup – Financial Goals Edition

by Patrick on December 8, 2007

This was a busy week here at Cash Money Life. I hosted two Carnivals – The eponymous Carnival of Personal Finance, and the Inaugural Edition of the Carnival of Financial Goals. They were both a lot of work, but very rewarding! Thanks to all who participated!

I also wrapped up a giveaway in which I gave away 3 books and a 4GB iPod nano! as part of a giveaway for sharing your 2008 Financial Resolutions. Congratulations to the winners!

Celebrations and milestones:

  • J.D. Roth from Get Rich Slowly celebrates paying off the last of his consumer debt – Free at Last! Saying Good-Bye to 20 Years of Debt. Twenty years is a long time, but it’s never too late for a new beginning! Congrats, JD!
  • For those of you who are looking for another giveaway, one of the blogs I read daily, Million Dollar Journey, is celebrating its One Year Anniversary this week and is giving away several prizes. Congrats on your success so far, and I wish you even more success in the coming year Frugal Trader!
  • All Financial Matters celebrates it’s 1,000,000th visitor! That is a testament to JLPs great writing. Congratulations, and I hope you hit 1,000,000 more!

These are my favorite articles from around the personal finance world this week (in no particular order):

Patrick, thanks for the mention. I’m considering that option. Just hate to spend the money and it not work. Have to stop by the hardware store this weekend, maybe I’ll give one a try.

Now get some rest you blog carnival maniac you ;-)
