Don’t rush to pop the champagne just yet, but there are definite signs Americans are feeling a bit more hopeful about the upcoming year, according to Fidelity Investments’ 2022 New Year’s Financial Resolutions Study. This year, more than 6 in 10 (62%) of Americans feel optimistic about the future, despite the unknown—and 72% are confident they’ll be in a better financial position in 2022. Among adults aged 35 and under, this number is even higher, at 81%. Despite the optimism, most people have not forgotten what the country has been through and are viewing their financial expectations practically, with concerns about inflation and rising costs weighing heavily on the minds of many.
