Behind the numbers (Fidelity & CNBC):
"As we await the beginning of a new year, it’s natural to reflect on what worked (and didn’t work) this year and where we want to go next year — especially when it comes to our money. Resolutions can be an exciting and motivating way to think about new goals and actually start working toward them.
... saving more money, spending less, and paying down debt are all top-of-mind for many Americans. There are many ways to achieve these goals, but the most important step is considering what’s right for your personal circumstances. This will help set you up for success when working toward those goals."
