2019 loading….!!Only 50% of Kenyans achieved 2018 year’s resolutions

End of year is around the corner and it’s time when people review the success of their resolutions and set others.However, TIFA opinion poll reveals that many Kenyans did not achieve their resolutions .

The polls show that out of 52 per cent of Kenyans who set a goal to establish a business, only 28 per cent of them, that is slightly over half of them, attained this resolution.

In addition, out of 33 per cent who had the desire to get a new job in 2018, only a paltry 11 per cent achieved this goal.

This is on the backdrop of the finding by the same survey that close to 60 per cent of Kenyans have rated the year 2018 as a bad one compared to 43 per cent who think it has been good.They blame cost of living and unemployment as having been high this year.

Other goals set included attaining a work-life balance which was set by 28 per cent of people and only half achieved it.Some 23 per cent of people sampled had sought to spend time with immediate family and pursue higher education in the year respectively.

Only 14 percent achieved the former, while 13 the latter. Other goals included building a house, changing a wardrobe, getting married, and buying a car (nine per cent in each category).
