The average adult will shell out £4,600 on 'financial' New Year's resolutions such as conquering their debts or moving house, according to a study.

The average person will attempt two such promises and reckon they will cost £4,612.52 to achieve, the poll of 2,000 people found.
But 46 per cent have already adopted a defeatist stance and admit they’re unlikely to achieve their aims.
