You make a New Year\u2019s resolution with the best of intentions and promise yourself everything will be different this year\u2026but just how likely are you to keep your resolution?<\/p>\n

We surveyed 400 people aged 18-55+ in the US and UK to see how they\u2019re doing sticking to their 2017 goals<\/a>. How do you compare? Read on to find out whether you\u2019re better than the rest or you\u2019re just not trying hard enough.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s The Most Popular New Year\u2019s Resolution?<\/span><\/h2>\n

It might feel like the whole world has turned into non-alcohol drinking yawn fests but in reality, only 2% of those surveyed chose to stop drinking as their New Year\u2019s Resolution.<\/p>\n

\"Breakdown<\/p>\n

The reasons people gave for why they set a resolution in the first place are also interesting:<\/p>\n

How Long Do People Actually Keep Their Resolutions For?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve haven\u2019t given up your New Year\u2019s resolution already, you\u2019re in good company.<\/p>\n

76% of all female respondents are still sticking to their New Year\u2019s resolution and 63% of males are doing the same.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how long people have managed to last:<\/p>\n

The Facts: An Overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

31% of all people didn\u2019t even bother setting a New Year\u2019s Resolution.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the older folks who appear to be over the idea of attempting to improve their lives. Only 51% of over 55s made a resolution this year, compared to 87% of 18-24-year-old\u2019s.<\/p>\n

People in the UK also don\u2019t seem to let their own previous failures stop them from trying again either.<\/p>\n

93% of British respondents aged 25-34 made a resolution for 2017, despite the fact that only 55% of them managed to keep last year\u2019s resolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How people keep on top of their New Year goals also varies from the USA to the UK. In America 58% of 25-34-year-olds use an app to track their progress but in the UK that figure is only 39%.<\/p>\n

Young, Dumb And Full Of Excuses?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Americans are known around the world for their can-do attitude but apparently that doesn\u2019t extend to the youth of today though. Only 15% of US 18-24 year-olds made a New Year\u2019s resolution. Across the pond in the UK, 30% of 18-24 year-olds did the same thing.<\/p>\n

Sorry USA, you can\u2019t argue with facts\u2026even if your President<\/a> does sometimes.<\/p>\n

In fact it\u2019s the 25-34 year-olds leading the pack in America. 91% of 25-34 year-old\u2019s normally make a resolution and only 36% of over 55s do.<\/p>\n

There definitely seems to be a link between your age and how likely you are to keep your resolution too. Our survey found that 93% of people aged 45-54 are still committed to their New Year\u2019s resolution but amongst 25-34 year-olds, that drops to just 47%.<\/p>\n

\"new<\/p>\n

\"boxer<\/p>\n

The stereotype goes that men hate commitment but our survey shows that\u2019s completely false. Well, they don\u2019t mind committing to themselves, at least. 70% of US males made a resolution that they kept for years, while only 47% of females did this.<\/p>\n

Another interesting stat shows that despite the fact that dieting is generally considered to be more of a female than a man thing, the difference between the sexes when it comes to eating healthily is actually tiny.<\/p>\n

19% of men vs 23% females said their main New Year\u2019s resolution was to eat more healthily.<\/p>\n

Men and women also seem to be under equal pressure to look good too. 25% of men pledged to exercise more in 2017, while 29% of women are aiming for the same goal.<\/p>\n

US vs UK<\/span><\/h2>\n

In America and in Great Britain, millennials get a tough ride from the older generation for being lazy and self-entitled. Is that just a load of lies made up by people who can feel the clutches of death tightening around their wrinkly necks? Nope.<\/p>\n

The facts are that only 47% of US 25-34-year-olds are still going with their resolution\u2019s. The millennial generation isn\u2019t a complete lost cause though. They\u2019re holding their own in the UK, where 73% of 25-34-year-olds are still going strong with their resolutions.<\/p>\n

\"quote<\/p>\n

\"graphic<\/p>\n

When it comes to keeping a close eye on their bank balance, women were twice as likely as men to pick saving money as their main resolution.<\/p>\n

How old you are also affects whether you\u2019re even remotely concerned with building up a nice nest egg. Only 8% of 35-44-year-old\u2019s chose saving money<\/a> for a resolution but 21% of the 45-54 age group said the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
