Britain's Top 2011 Resolutions Revealed

DUBLIN, December 30, 2010/PRNewswire/ --

- New Research Suggests Young People Want to be Smarter Savers and New Year's Priorities Differ by Region

An online poll of over 2000 British men and women released today from PopCap Games revealed Britain's top new year's resolutions for 2011.

While some of the resolutions may not come as a surprise, what is surprising is that, of those who plan to make a new year's resolution in 2011, the top resolutions are almost exactly identical for both men and women:

1. To lose weight/keep fit - 38% (35% men; 41% women)

2. To reduce stress and enjoy life more/have more fun - 23% (24% men; 23% women)

3. To save money - 15% (15% men; 15% women)

AGE DIFFERENCE

While men and women are agreed on these three resolutions, there is a marked point of difference among the age groups when it comes to their top priority resolution. Of those polled who plan to make resolutions, young people aged 18-24 are Britain's most committed savers (29%) but they are least committed to reducing their stress or having more fun (16%); while people aged 55+ are the most committed to reducing stress or having more fun (31%) and those over 55 least concerned with saving (9%). In fact, across all age groups who are planning to make resolutions, the research revealed a rough trend that as people get older they are less concerned with saving money as their top priority resolution and more committed to reducing stress and enjoying their lives:
