It’s that time of year again when making resolutions and setting goals are on everyone’s minds. Getting your financial life in order should be at the very top of your list.

More than one-third of Americans make money resolutions before the start of every new year. Regrettably, those resolutions are long forgotten by the time tax season draws near. But, according to the Ninth Annual Fidelity Investments® New Year Financial Resolutions Study, 58% of Americans who made – and kept – financial resolutions were in better financial shape.

Let’s focus on two things you should do, starting today:

• Implement a savings plan
• Pay down your debt
