6 Tools to Help You Stick to Your New Year’s Resolutions {Giveaway}

Now that the new year is underway, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your relationships, challenges and special achievements. It’s also a great time to make resolutions and set goals for areas you want to improve. I see so many resolutions related to eating healthy and exercising (both are super important, don’t get me wrong), but what about improving your financial health?

According to a new survey by Capital One Bank, only 34 percent of Americans feel they accomplished some of their financial goals in 2015 — leaving room for improvement in 2016! Before the year slips away, I encourage you to sit down and reevaluate your finances. Decide what needs to change and set goals for the year such as paying off debt, creating an emergency fund, setting up a savings account and planning for retirement.

Further stats from the Capital One New Year’s Resolutions survey reveal:

  • Finances and family are the top focus, and of equal importance, for Americans when looking ahead to 2016.
  • For nearly one-third of Americans, paying off debt is the number one financial goal to improve their financial well-being in 2016, with growing savings as a close second.
  • The majority of Americans (73 percent) view their financial goals as motivation for the future.
  • Only one third of Americans feel they accomplished some of their financial goals in 2015, and approximately 20 percent of Americans feel they accomplished none of the financial goals they set in 2015.
  • Over a third of Americans view a monthly tracker of progress toward financial goals as the most helpful digital tool for achieving their financial goals.

Capital One can help you reach your financial goals in 2016! Consider signing up for a high-interest savings account like 360 Savings from Capital One which offers no fees and no minimums!
