Abstract

This article compiles the financial objectives for the new year of five individuals from the United Kingdom. The individuals interviewed differ in age, career, financial status, and interests, but all of them share the intention of paying more attention to their finances and conducting conscious spending. Their resolutions include saving more money in ethical and green banks and pensions, giving part of their incomes to charities, cutting down unnecessary spending with the help of technology, and aiming at more sustainable ways of living by supporting local businesses and exploring new systems of exchange. – AI-generated abstract.
