GEN Z want to put themselves first in 2025 while Millennials hope to spend more time with friends and family, studies have revealed. A study of 2,000 adults revealed attitudes towards setting goals for next year, and the generational differences. The top Gen Z new year resolutions are to save money, exercise more and learn a new skill or hobby.

But some quirkier aims for 2025 include embracing the ‘joy of missing out’ – by not feeling bad about cancelling plans. Those aged up to 27 also pledged to focus on their career, travel to new places and have a better work/ life balance. While the top goals for Millennials, aged 28 to 43, include spending more time with family and loved ones, more self-care and decluttering their homes.

But they also intend to commit to one small, spontaneous adventure a month, such as exploring a town near them. Gen X, those in their late 40s and 50s, plan to spend more time in nature and going on long walks – and, like Millennials, also want to have monthly adventures.

And Gen X intend to enjoy more guilty pleasures, like binge-watching TV or eating their favourite dessert. Carl Castledine, founder of UK holiday park operator Away Resorts [www.awayresorts.co.uk], which commissioned the study, said: "While some of our goals are similar no matter what our age, what we prioritise naturally evolves and changes a little as we get older.
