(STUDY FINDS) – Mark your calendars: two-thirds of Americans are hyping up 2022 as the year to become more financially stable.
A survey of 2,000 U.S. residents found 76 percent have a New Year’s resolution centered around being smarter with their finances, up from 73 percent who stated the same last year. This optimism comes as 62 percent of respondents believe 2021 was easier on their finances — double the amount of people who claimed 2020 was painless on their wallets (31%).
Moreover, while half the poll (47%) saw financial difficulties in 2020, only 15 percent said the same this year. However, over four in five (83%) Americans are concerned about inflation and 76 percent fear that it will be a major setback in reaching their financial goals for 2022. People’s employment status may also play a role in how they feel about their finances. Seventy-six percent had a full-time job in 2021, up from 58 percent in 2020.
