Spending on these goals varies by gender, as men plan to spend a bit more than women (<span class=\"xn-money\">$5,360<\/span> compared to <span class=\"xn-money\">$4,000<\/span>). Also, the highest-spending group surveyed was men ages 35-54, who expect to invest more than <span class=\"xn-money\">$6,000<\/span> in their resolutions over the year. Men with health-related resolutions plan to spend more than twice as much as women with the same resolution (<span class=\"xn-money\">$1,500<\/span> for men and <span class=\"xn-money\">$738<\/span> for women).<\/p>\n<p>The costliest category of New Year&#8217;s resolutions is personal-life resolutions. These include meaningful life experiences such as travel, hobbies, and spending more time with family and friends. Americans whose New Year&#8217;s resolutions fall into this category are budgeting an average of <span class=\"xn-money\">$3,047<\/span> for their goals, including an average of <span class=\"xn-money\">$1,251<\/span> for travel, <span class=\"xn-money\">$768<\/span> for meals and entertainment, and <span class=\"xn-money\">$400<\/span> for hobby supplies and materials. Men are willing to spend almost twice as much on hobby supplies as women (<span class=\"xn-money\">$560<\/span> vs. <span class=\"xn-money\">$238<\/span>).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Saving styles differ by gender<br \/><\/b>Most men and women (73% of those making resolutions) are prioritizing a financial goal in 2026. However, each gender is going about it a little differently. Men are more likely than women to lean into investing (55% of men vs. 37% of women), building or improving their credit score (49% of men vs. 35% of women), or contributing to plans such as 401(k), IRA, and HSAs (39% of men vs. 26% of women).<\/p>\n<p>Men are also more likely to tap into other resources, like hiring a financial advisor (42% of men vs. 18% of women) or moving their savings to higher-yield accounts (43% of men vs. 19% of women). They are also more open to using technology, such as budgeting software (36% of men vs. 23% of women) and scheduling automatic deposits to savings or investments (39% of men vs. 27% of women).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Automating your savings is one of the most effective, evidence-based methods to save money over time,&#8221; Castro said. &#8220;We recently introduced the SmartSaver suite of tools, which offers customers three ways to automate their savings: recurring transfers, direct deposits, and a feature called Savings Boost that uses a personalized algorithm to sweep small amounts of money from your everyday checking account into your CIT Bank high-yield savings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To help reach their financial goals, women are ready to reduce spending (65% of women vs. 55% of men), take on additional work to earn more money (46% of women vs. 42% of men) or create a goal-based savings account (50% of women vs. 44% of men).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Saving with a goal in mind<br \/><\/b>Whether or not they call it a New Year&#8217;s resolution, most Americans (81%) are saving with one or more specific goals in mind for 2026. Travel or vacation is the most popular goal, with 40% of savers. Other top savings goals include purchasing a car (25%), buying a house (21%), investing in education (11%), starting or growing a family (10%), and planning a wedding or other big event (7%).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Having a goal in mind makes it easier to visualize and emotionally connect with the act of saving money,&#8221; Castro said. &#8220;CIT Bank customers can create savings buckets within their account, dividing their balance between goals like vacation, emergency fund, education, and more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CIT Bank is an FDIC-insured, top-10 online bank backed by the strength and stability of First Citizens Bank.
