Money in the bank

For 2010, it appears that peoples top financial goals are:

Rebuild portfolio – 50%

Pay down debt – 23%

Spend less / save more – 16%

Get new job – 7%

Buy a home – 4%

On how people feel about 2010:

15% expect to do a lot better

31% expect to do a little better

28% about the same as 2009

26% worse than 2009

Gold seems to be on a lot of peoples mind, but Money Magazine says since 1974 when restrictions were lifted on owning gold, stocks have actually done a better job of beating inflation than gold has.
