Hey, real talk: How are those New Year resolutions holding up?

Are you crushing it, or are they already collecting dust like that yoga mat you swore you’d use every morning? Don’t worry, we’re not here to judge (we’re right there with you). But what if your 2025 goals weren’t just about getting fit, traveling more, or finally learning Spanish, what if they have the potential to actually make you money?


Yep, we’re talking about investing in your resolutions. Literally.

Check out our New Year, New Me investment collection
This isn’t your basic "start saving more" kind of thing (though, hey, great goal). We’ve put together a collection of stocks and ETFs that tie into some of the most popular New Year resolutions —whether you’re into fitness, healthy eating, creativity, or traveling more this year.


Resolution: Get Fit, Feel Stronger 💪
Why just sweat it out...for free?!
  • Nike: You’ve already bought the cool flashy sneakers, let's be real...
  • Garmin: We see those PRs! For tracking all those steps and miles (and how many snacks you’ve earned).
  • Peloton: Bringing boutique fitness classes to your living room — because sweating it out at home is the new gym flex.
  • Lululemon: Those leggings are slaying, but what if they also padded your portfolio? 
Resolution: Eat Healthier 🥗
Plant-based? Sustainable? Look at what brands you support.
  • Beyond Meat: Burgers, but make it vegan.
  • Sweetgreen: Inspiring healthier communities with craveable salads you don’t feel guilty about and bougier.
  • ESG ETFs: What if we told you that there's an ETF on cruelty-free, environmentally-friendly companies? Crazy right.

Resolution: Less Screen Time, More Hobbies
If this is the year you spend less time scrolling and more time doing, these companies might just have your back:

  • Camping World Holdings: Everything you need for the ultimate outdoor escape. S’mores optional.
  • YETI: Premium coolers, bottles, and gear for your next adventure because hydration matters.
  • Adobe: Creative tools for your next digital masterpiece. From Photoshop to Illustrator, they’ve got it covered.
  • Etsy: The place to find (and sell!) all things handmade, from jewelry to quirky wall art.
Resolution: Learn Something New 📚
Expand your mind and maybe your investments.

  • Duolingo: Say “hola” to one of the most popular language-learning platforms. That owl can see your streak!
  • Coursera: Online degrees and certifications, wherever you go.
  • Stride Inc: Virtual learning for any stage of life.
Resolution: Travel More ✈️
From booking trips to taking rideshares, invest in your wanderlust.
