Saving money, exercising more, and getting healthier are Americans’ top New Year’s resolutions heading into 2026, according to a new survey.

So to turn things around in the coming year, many (38%) are setting personal goals or resolutions, with millennials being the most likely to create New Year’s intentions (57%) and baby boomers being the least likely (23%).
