Press releaseBritons hold firm on their financial resolutions30 January 2009
New research from NS&I (National Savings and Investments) shows that only a fifth of us (20%) made New Year’s resolutions in 2009. However changing their financial behaviour was still a high priority for many; over a third (34%) of those who did make resolutions pledged to save more or spend less. One month into 2009, those Britons who pledged to reform their finances are sticking to their resolutions. The vast majority (95%) said that they were sticking to the goals they set themselves for managing their money. Dax Harkins, Senior Savings Strategist for NS&I, said: “It’s never too late to make a resolution to sort out your finances. It’s encouraging to see that those people who made a financial resolution are sticking to their goals. Making and sticking to targets is a great way to keep your money on track.” Other research highlights
