New Year's resolutions and the economy

Happy 2009! It's time to make those resolutions for the new year. And because money likely is a little tighter for many of us as 2009 begins,  this may be the year to ask, how much is this resolution going to cost?

Are you forking over the money for a gym membership or a weight loss program this year? Are you resolving to reign in your spending in different ways or cut credit card debt?

Check out this story in USA Today about how some people's 2009 resolutions are reflecting current economic times.
