According to CIT Bank’s survey, when it comes to sticking to financial resolutions, Millennials are doing a much better job than other generations. For comparison, only a third of Gen Z, Gen X, and Boomers reveal they have remained committed to their savings goal.

Gen Zers and Millennials are leading in prioritizing saving in 2020 with 79% and 69% respectively, compared to 59% of Gen X, and 41% of Boomers.

We're encouraged to see consumers sticking with their goals well into the new year. Millennials and Gen Zers, in particular, understand the benefits of creating a financial cushion and are taking the necessary steps to do so
