The online survey of 1,500 adults was conducted in March.
Six in 10 adults 35 and older resolved in 2019 to save money.
Women struggled more than men to keep pace with savings goals.
Among men, 35 percent reported falling behind.
Savings resolutions for 2019 reflect a mix of short-term and long-term goals.
Similarly, roughly three in ten adults reported a lot of regrets about saving for retirement.
One in five adults regret how they have managed their debt.
The survey also revealed deep concerns about retirement savings.
Again, this stress disproportionately affects women.
However, just 37 percent of men identified those two factors as reasons.
The national survey by AARP was conducted in March 2019 using AARPs proprietary online panel.
It included 1,500 adults ages 35 and older.
