When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, the first steps are admitting that a change in behavior is important and you are ready to take action. With so many trying to overcome financial hardship and get back on their feet, it would make sense that many started off the new year with the resolution to save more money in 2023.
Surveying 3,500 Americans to find out how much money people plan to save in 2023, CouponBirds found that many people intend to take their finances seriously this year. Saving money was the most popular New Year’s resolution (28%), according to the survey, followed by the perennial goals of exercising more (24%) and quitting smoking (20%).
According to the real-time coupon code website, the average American plans on saving $8,082 in 2023 ($673.50 per month) and, by state, Nebraskans aim to save more than residents of any other state ($16,093.70) while North Dakotans plan on saving the least ($1,565.33).
