Survey Reveals Top Five New Year's Resolutions; Women Divulge the
Resolutions They Wish Their Men Would Make in 2006

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 27, 2005--With the countdown to 2006
almost upon us, WomensWallStreet.com asked women: if you could choose
a New Year's resolution for your mate, what would it be? The
surprising answer: "be more romantic" with 27 percent of the vote,
followed by "lose weight" with 18 percent and "stop smoking" with 10
percent. Popular write-in answers included "stop snoring," "stop being
a liar," "get a real job and grow up" and "go away."


As for the women, it was no surprise that "lose weight" came in at the
top of the resolutions list with 24 percent of the vote, followed by
"exercise more" with 20 percent. But resolutions #3 and #4, each with
16 percent of women's votes, were an unexpected "manage my money
better" and "be more organized." And rounding out the top five
resolutions for 2006 with 11 percent was "improve my career."

"I'm surprised and encouraged by the 16 percent of women who want to
get their finances in order in 2006," said WomensWallStreet.com editor
in chief Pam Little. "Too often this goal gets overlooked -- but this
year it seems that, in addition to physical health, women are making a
positive shift toward improved financial health as well."

The survey also revealed that New Year's resolutions are popular this
year -- four out of five women have made a 2006 resolution. This is up
from just 56 percent who claim to have made such a resolution last
year.

Of those who made resolutions last year, most (22 percent) kept them
for three to six months, while one in five stuck with it for the whole
year. A weak-willed 10 percent held on for less than one week.

So why the resolution difficulties? Of those who fell off the wagon,
37 percent claim the reason is that they lost motivation, while 22
percent didn't have enough time to devote to it and 15 percent
experienced "too much temptation."

But while most women are on top of their vows for the New Year, when
it comes to men, there leaves much to be desired. According to women,
only 14 percent of their significant others made a resolution last
year, and of those just 15 percent actually kept them.

"Women tend to examine their personal and professional lives and use
the New Year as a reason to make positive changes in their lives,"
said Little. "Men, however, seem to have a different strategy."
