Morphology

financial + goal

The meaning 'a specific objective relating to money' is directly and predictably composed from 'financial' (connected with money) modifying 'goal' (an intended result). This is a regular noun phrase construction following common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Financial goal paints a simple picture: a goal is a 'target' or 'finish line', and financial means money. So a financial goal is a money 'target' you plan and save for, which is why it means a specific money objective.
