Somewhere between 30%-50% of Americans make New Year’s resolutions, reports from last year show. A study from YouGov revealed some of the more common resolutions made and whether people think they’ll keep their resolutions. More than a quarter of participants chose “saving more money,” while the second most popular resolution was “improving physical health.”

However, Dr. Michelle Rozen’s research reveals that 94% of people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions. “In fact, Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) reports that 88% of people who set New Year’s resolutions fail before the end of January.”

Resolutions might be popular but those who keep them are few.
