G-20 finance chiefs say they are close to goal of boosting world economy by $2 trillion
– canadianbusiness.com
SYDNEY – Finance chiefs from the 20 largest economies said on Sunday they are close to reaching their goal of boosting world GDP by more than $2 trillion over the next five years, and will focus on infrastructure investment to help reach the target.
Australian Treasurer Joe Hockey, who hosted the Group of 20 meeting in the northern Australian city of Cairns, said the G-20 finance ministers and central bankers had agreed to more than 900 policy initiatives to meet the goal they set in February during a gathering in Sydney.
The G-20, which represents about 85 per cent of the global economy, said an analysis of those initiatives show they should boost the combined gross domestic product of member countries by 1.8 per cent above levels expected for the next five years — just short of the group’s target of 2 per cent.

2014 Financial Goals – September Update
– myownadvisor.ca
To keep me honest and focused I post my financial goals on My Own Advisor. One thing I’ve learned over the years is I have a much better chance at realizing my goals if I keep tabs on them, and often.
Here’s a recap of our original 2014 financial goals:
Here’s a recap of our original 2014 financial goals:
Continue putting $300 lump sum payments on our mortgage every month ($3,600).
Maximize both Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) ($11,000).
Increase Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contributions by $200 per month ($2,400).
Here’s our report card with just less than four months to go in 2014.
Continue putting $300 lump sum payments on our mortgage every month ($3,600) – on target!
Since January 2014 we’ve been meeting this goal. I’ve calculated if we keep up our prepayment schedule I’m predicting we’ll be mortgage free 7 years this Christmas.
Maximize both Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) ($11,000)
I hold some Canadian stocks that pay dividends in one account so I moved some of those holdings into my TFSA earlier this year…
