A brand NEW year is upon is! But, survey data from back in December of 2020 shows us what Americans want to accomplish in 2021 through New Year's goals and resolutions. Many want to prioritize their finances in light of the difficult times suffered as a result of covid-19. While it is exciting that so many people want to be more financially savvy in 2021, studies show that people are not very good at sticking to new year's resolutions. Why is this the case? What are some ways to actually stick to our goals? Find out this, and more in this week's FinCap Friday: 

If you're short on time, try our simplified FinCap Friday (No Tech) with the questions embedded right in the slide deck or the EdPuzzle version instead!

Check out all of our FinCap Friday episodes here. They're not date-dependent so any of the 99+ in our catalog dating back to August 2018 can work throughout the coming year!
