_average-american-expects-this-much-cash-from-their-2023-tax-refund.webp "One in four Americans have no idea if they'll get a tax refund this year, according to new research. <br/><br/>A survey of 2,000 U.S. adults looked at how many are thinking ahead when it comes to their taxes and found the percentage of those who aren’t sure if they’ll get a tax refund is up to 25% from 20% last year.<br/><br/>On the other hand, 43% anticipate getting a tax refund in 2024, slightly up from 40% last year.<br/><br/>The average respondent who thinks they will be getting a tax refund estimates that they’ll get back $2,023.50 this year, down from the average of $2,338.40 last year.<br/><br/>Conducted by OnePoll for Cricket Wireless, the annual tax time survey found that two in three Americans said that if they received a tax refund in 2024, they would use it in a more “mature” way than years past (67%).<br/><br/>Of those who anticipate a tax refund, three in five are relying on that extra income and 36% plan on saving it, compared to just 26% last year.<br/><br/>Half of those who have gone through a major life event like putting contributions into a retirement plan (17%) or getting a new job (11%) also said that they would use their tax refund to help financially support new changes.<br/><br/>However, a quarter of Americans admit to feeling stressed leading up to the tax deadline (28%).<br/><br/>What’s causing that stress? For many, it’s uncertainty over what to expect.<br/><br/>For instance, of those who experienced life changes over the past year, such as getting married or having a kid, only 38% knew that these events will affect their tax return.<br/><br/>Knowledge also plays a role in respondents’ uncertainty, as one in five couldn’t define common tax terms like “adjusted gross income,” “dependent” or “filing status.”<br/><br/>The economy is also a culprit for those who are less certain about their finances this year.<br/><br/>Only a third of Americans think the 2024 economy will be better than the previous year (34%), with 45% sharing that this perspective impacts their decision to spend or save their tax refund.<br/><br/>To combat this, a majority of respondents have done more budgeting (68%) and 44% have spent less money, overall.<br/><br/>“High inflation and an unpredictable economy make many Americans feel uncertain around tax season,” said Tony Mokry, chief marketing officer at Cricket Wireless. “For many, this is the only time of year that they receive a windfall and how they treat these funds oftentimes sets the tone for their year financially. We continue to encourage consumers to look for value where they can, particularly on recurring bills like phone plans.”<br/><br/>However, those surveyed are taking control of their finances, keeping track of them on their phone (51%).<br/><br/>While only half of respondents last year used a banking app (52%), that number is up to 92% of those who use finance apps today.<br/><br/>Mobile wallet (48%) and investing apps (42%) were also among the most common finance apps last year, and are still popular among respondents this year (66% and 39%, respectively).<br/><br/>Credit score management apps have also climbed in popularity (39%) and one in five have a tax filing app, too (18%).<br/><br/>To make use of their resources, nearly a quarter of those who own a smartphone will use it to file their taxes in 2024 (23%).<br/><br/>“It's reassuring to see that more people are using their phones to manage their finances,” said Tony Mokry, chief marketing officer at Cricket Wireless. “It's difficult to stay on top of it all, but having access at your fingertips takes the headache out of managing money, making it easier than ever to track your spending, budget effectively, and work towards your financial goals.”<br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 general population Americans was commissioned by Cricket Wireless between Jan. 11 and Jan. 16, 2024. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).")

_basketball-fans-spend-this-many-hours-consumed-by-march-madness.webp "Basketball fanatics will spend more than a full day — 36 hours — completely consumed by the sport during March Madness in 2024. <br/><br/>Between watching games (13 hours), creating brackets (three hours) and discussing it with family and friends (five hours), a survey of 2,000 basketball fanatics ages 21+ revealed that during the three weeks of March Madness, nothing else matters.<br/><br/>And that’s not even counting the time they’ll spend engaging with online content (five hours), watching highlights (five hours) and placing bets (three hours).<br/><br/>Data also shows that March Madness can take precedent over their daily routines and social events. In fact, more than one-quarter (26%) admit they’ve skipped work, while one in five have canceled dates (17%) and even birthday parties (17%) just to ensure they don’t miss the action on the court. <br/><br/>Lifelong or bandwagon, more than three-quarters (76%) of respondents have a favorite team they're rooting for this March and 59% of those fans believe their team has what it takes to make it to the Final Four. <br/><br/>Furthermore, 57% are confident that their team can go all the way and will win it all this year, yet only 30% will pick them as their bracket champ no matter what.<br/><br/>According to respondents, the top three most likely conferences to come out on top this year include the Big Ten (21%), SEC (14%) and Big East (12%).<br/><br/>Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Tipico Sportsbook, results also revealed that an astounding 88% of fans are likely to stay loyal to their team and will watch every second of their games, even if they’re losing big. <br/><br/>Taking that a step further, die-hard fans will also sport their team’s apparel while watching other games (47%) and passionately always root against their rival (41%).<br/><br/>In fact, respondents are more likely to hope for a miracle (46%) or stay confident until there are no other options (45%) when their team is losing, compared to leaving the room (10%) or putting on a different game (9%).<br/><br/>But everyone has their limits — if their team is down by 19 points in the second half, the average fan starts to give up hope that they can win. <br/><br/>“March Madness is a cultural phenomenon unlike any other because anyone can be a hero; every year, new storylines captivate a diverse audience and define the fabric of the college basketball world,” said Brian Becker, Tipico Sportsbook SVP of Marketing. “For fans nationwide, it is a battle between knowledge and pure luck, but this survey data highlights that basketball fans are overwhelmingly loyal and trust that the time they spend educating themselves will give them an edge.”<br/><br/>The survey also found basketball fanatics are willing to spend a whopping $570 on their overall March Madness experience this year.<br/><br/>This year, 39% of basketball fans plan to place bets on the tournament this year. <br/><br/>Not only that, but they’re also planning to win more than in previous years. The average bettor has won about 46% of the bets they’ve placed in the past, but this year, bettors plan to average winning 59% of their bets. <br/><br/>In total, bettors plan to claim an average total of $261 this year. This may be why 46% of basketball fans are more likely to place bets during March Madness than any other time of the year.<br/><br/>However, few fans are willing to throw loyalty out the window for a shot at a higher payout. Only 24% admit they have placed bets against their favorite team and that they would do so again. More than half (54%) say that their loyalty to their favorite team runs so deep that they have never placed bets against their favorite and never will.<br/><br/>“It’s encouraging to see that basketball fans are feeling optimistic about their betting prospects and are taking advantage of the chance to win big money during the March Madness tournament,” said Andre Zammit, VP of Sportsbook at Tipico. “Whether it’s your first time betting or a yearly tradition, we’re excited to see where the bets fall during the pinnacle sports saga of the year.”<br/><br/>Survey methodology:<br/>This random double-opt-in survey of 2,000 basketball fanatics, ages 21+ was commissioned by Tipico between February 8 and February 14, 2024. It was conducted by market research company OnePoll, whose team members are members of the Market Research Society and have corporate membership to the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and the European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR).")
