According to a recent study, most Americans want to improve their financial customs in 2025.
The 2,000 American survey also revealed that more than four in 10 (42%) predict they will have a “vacation hanging” this year.
Nearly half (49%) are planning hibernation in January, to be less active and social and spend less money after the 2024 holiday season.
Commissioned by the Global Savings Platform, Raisin, the study found that along with 65% hoping to improvise their money habits in 2025, more than a quarter (26%) would like to improve their financial reading in the New Year.
To illustrate this lack of financial literacy, more than one in four of the respondents (26%) do not know what interest rates they are receiving from the bank or their financial institution.
When asked, most (59%) did not know what APR (annual percentage rate) would say, 78% were confused by abbreviation APY (annual percentage yield) and 79% did not know that ROI stands for “return on investments”.
The survey respondents also weighed with their overall reflections in 2024, and more than half of the answers (54%) said that 2024 “left” them.
Moreover, most (89%) did not achieve everything they determined in 2024.
The most common incomplete resolutions from last year turn out not to save enough money (51%), not being as capable and active as planned (38%), not traveling enough (32%), and not spending enough money (31%).
Most (55%) are planning to take a “slow lifestyle” approach in 2025, and on average, those responses plan to slow their lives by 33% in the new year.
More than four in ten Americans (44%) plan to participate in dry January and 44% are making a “without purchase” challenge (only spending money on what is absolutely necessary) in January.
“One of the first steps to improve your finances is to build your financial read,” said Cetin Durasoy, chief executive in Raisis. “And don’t feel bad if this seems like a staggering task. Finances can be an intimidating topic. So seek help, if necessary, from a reliable family member, friend, financial expert or institution.”
According to the results, slowing down in the New Year can have a major impact on their walls.
Those planning to take a break from social media for everyone or some from 2025 (37%) predicted to save a startling $ 5,366, on average, doing so.
Answer who will stop meeting for everyone or some of the New Year (29%), estimated that they will save $ 3,961 on average.
Thirty -one percent are making a point to stay away from the test of new health trends in 2025 and they estimate they will save $ 3,900 for their problems.
“The research demonstrates how fast dollars are added if you are not budgeting and consciously spent,” Duransoy said. “It is so important to have a strong financial plan.
