Eighty-four percent of Americans will not include financial planning in their New Year's resolutions, according to a new survey by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America.  The lack of financial focus is the highest it has been since Allianz founded its New Year's Resolution survey in 2009.

The top reason for leaving financial planning out of resolutions was respondents' belief that they don't make enough to worry about it (32 percent) or they already have a solid financial plan (26 percent). Twenty percent attributed it to their lack of an advisor or financial professional.

"It's alarming that Americans' willingness to ignore financial planning in their New Year's Resolutions continues to go up year after year," said Katie Libbe, vice president of Consumer Insights for Allianz Life. "With the responsibility for retirement security shifting from employers to individuals, people need to become more, not less, active with financial planning to ensure they have enough money to fund a retirement that could last up to 30 years."
