The Stick With It Study

Northwestern Mutual sponsored the Stick With It study to gauge the self-discipline and financial tenacity of Americans today. The research revealed that three out of four Americans (74%) report that the pace of today’s society is making it harder for them to focus and remain on track toward achieving long-term goals, and uncovered wide-ranging insights into how Americans prioritize their goals and pursue them over time.

Independent research firm Market Probe conducted the online survey of 1,000 Americans aged 25 or older between March 4, 2011 and March 15, 2011. Results were weighted to be representative of the U.S. population (age 25+) by gender, age, income and education.
