2022 New Year's Resolutions Survey shows Education and Careers takes on a greater importance

The 2022 New Year's Resolutions Survey found that respondents' top four New Year's resolutions remain the same as the prior year:

(1) become more physically fit;

(2) improve one's financial condition;

(3) improve health; and

(4) lose weight.

However, two new resolutions broke into the top 10 list - becoming more educated and improve work habits/career situation.

The education goal moved from 12th position in 2021 to 5th position in 2022, and the work habit/career goal moved from 11th position in 2021 to 6th position in 2022.  The renewed focus on education and career both signal that consumers may be feeling the economy is reviving sufficiently to invest in an education and venture out into the job market.
