Awesome! We’ve got a new carnival up and running in the financial arena, and it’s called “The Carnival of Financial Goals”, started up by Cash Money Life. Its inaugural edition showcases the 2008 resolutions of various financial bloggers. If you’re curious what we’re all planning to accomplish in the next year, do read on! Goal-setting is the first step to getting stuff done.
The Carnival of Personal Finance #129 is coincidentally *also* being hosted by Patrick at Cash Money Life. No rest for the wicked I guess! 
Cool posts from there:
- Using Pareto Principle to Improve Personal Finance @ Moolanomy
- Making Overseas Experience Count @ Brip Blap
- Roth 401k: What Is It? @ My Dollar Plan
- Ultra ETFs Explained, Strategies Revealed @ Stock Trading To Go
The Festival of Frugality #102 is finally at Lazy Man and Money. I’d like to thank him for highlighting my post about piggy banks. 
My picks from the festival:
- Don’t Skimp On Toilet Paper @ Ask Dong
- Money Saving Monday Tip #18 – Buy Generics @ Gather Little By Little
- Practical Life Lessons From My Dog @ Dividend Money
You’ll find more notable posts at the Carnival of Debt Reduction #116 hosted at Blogging Away Debt, and the 37th Carnival of Money Stories at Loonies and Sense.
You’ll find my full carnival list by the end of the week.

Thanks for the plug!
Thanks again for the link!
SVB, thank you for the mention. Yeah, Patrick must love the punishment. That’s a lot of work, and he managed to produce an excellent carnival each time.
Hi SVB,
Thanks for mentioning the Carnivals! I was already scheduled to host the CoPF when I decided to create a new Carnival – the Carnival of Financial Goals. As luck would have it, the dates aligned. 2 Carnivals in one week was not the original plan, but it was rewarding. No rest, indeed! Thanks for contributing to both Carnvials!
Unfortunately Patrick has demonstrated that he’s insane, but we will just have to tolerate it. Clearly someone who hosts two carnivals in one week needs help
I thought it was great, actually, and I hope a lot of people who checked out the CoPF stuck around for the CoFG (am I the first to coin that acronym?)
Thanks for mentioning my post, and kudos to Patrick for the big week!
Thanks SVB! Proud to make your cool post list! Although nothing is cooler than the piggy banks… I loved those!
