| 2. |
Get a Better Education |
Statistics show that in most cases more education means a better job, and more money. So get out there and start studying! |
| 3. |
Get a Better Job |
Getting a better job may first require getting that better education, but whether that's part of it or not, this is a great resolution. |
| 4. |
Get Fit |
Feeling a little flabby after all that holiday food? There's no better time than the start of a new year to make sure you get enough exercise and start eating right. |
| 5. |
Lose Weight |
Losing weight is a popular resolution, and let's hope that those trying to do so know that the whole getting fit thing is important. Don't starve yourself; make sure that exercise and a healthy diet are part of your plan to lose those extra pounds. |
| 6. |
Manage Debt |
Isn't it funny how most New Year's resolutions seem directly related to popular activities during the holidays? Start paying off that Christmas present debt if you haven't already, and start planning for your future by getting your finances just as healthy as your body. |
| 7. |
Manage Stress |
High amounts of stress can make you sick - literally - so it's no joke that managing stress is part of a healthy approach to life. |

Quit Smoking Now |
There are lots of resources to help you stop smoking, so there's no day like today to get started. |
| 9. |
Save Money |
Having trouble saving up for a retirement fund? Or even for a weekend vacation? Try setting up a separate bank account that you're not allowed to touch except for its intended purpose. In no time, you'll be on to the next resolution... |
| 10. |
Take a Trip |
Bad weather got you down? How about a beach vacation with umbrella-clad drinks and a bar in the pool? Oh wait, you weren't trying to also stick to the first resolution, were you? Skip the daiquiri, and make it a fruit smoothie. And be sure to take care of number 4 first so you'll feel fabulous in that swimsuit. |
