Canadians are more concerned with piling up money than about the pounds they’re piling on.
This, according to a poll about New Year’s resolutions by the the Investors Group.
Jack Courtney tells 660News the results were consistent with past years and includes making realistic goals you can accomplish.
He says, “People tended to focus on improvements to their personal life, as opposed to maybe more on the financial side of things.”
So, what trumps saving money? Taking time out for family and friend, while paying down debt and investing money fell further down the wish list this year.
Most Canadians say they don’t bother with New Year’s resolutions, while only 13
per cent say they stick to them.
