Millennials Are Still Making New Year’s Resolutions… Because We’re Trying Our Best, OKAY? 🥴✨

A new survey says millennials are the most likely generation to set New Year’s resolutions for 2026 — which is adorable, considering how tired we all are.
Meanwhile, baby boomers are like:
“We’ve already lived through enough. Hard pass.” 🚫🎉
And apparently, men are more likely than women to make resolutions (44% vs. 35%).
Of course, they are — they only set goals like “work out more” and not “fix everything in this house while holding the family together emotionally.” 😌
Plus, men say they’re more motivated to keep those goals (93% vs. 85%).
Sure, Steve. We’ll check back in February. 😏

The biggest ones:
💸 Save more money (45%)

🏃♀️ Exercise more (45%)
Get that cardio in… by chasing your kids while holding a coffee.
🥗 Get healthier overall (41%)
A salad once a week and a vitamin gummy totally counts.
