Financial resolutions often top the annual list
WalletHub conducted a nationally representative poll of nearly 500 people in the U.S. to see what types of resolutions folks are making for 2020, especially in terms of personal finance. We also asked about people’s motivations for making resolutions, their expectations of success and much more. This survey took place from December 2 to December 6, 2019. You can find the complete results in the following infographic.
Key Stats
- The #1 financial resolution for men is to save more, while women are focused on paying off debt.
- WalletHub’s Top 10 New Year’s Financial Resolutions for 2020 start with 1) Repay 20% of your credit card debt and 2) Add one month’s pay to your emergency fund.
- 7 in 10 people admit they’ve cheated on a New Year’s resolution before.
- Conservatives are 2.5X more likely than Liberals to think it is NOT ok to adjust your New Year’s Resolution later in the year.
- Millennials are twice as likely as baby boomers to break a resolution due to laziness.

There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoying a chicken meal with delicious homemade jams because it wouldn’t be July Jam without it.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the Championship Fiddler Competition during Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival on Oct. 5.
This attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills on stage in the Bowie Fire Hall on Oct. 5.
Along with the live fiddling entertainment, come hungry and be ready to outbid your neighbors at the silent auction or just stop by for a great meal, fellowship and soak in the air conditioning.
