Save Small, Win Big
Asset building practitioners are regularly trying to make the case that saving can be fun. It's a tough sell. The Doorways to Dreams Fund (D2D Fund) is a big believer that harnessing the excitement behind lotteries, sweepstakes, and other competitions can help make saving more fun and more successful for individuals. Their work on prize-linked savings has shown that "'winning' is a powerful and motivating experience for savers and prospective savers." D2DFund is making some serious headway in making saving fun this year with a new tax-timed savings promotion called the SaveYourRefund Sweepstakes. Here's how it works:
The SaveYourRefund Sweepstakes makes taxpayers a winner this tax season with chances to win $250 in weekly drawings or a grand prize of $25,000 by saving just $50 of their federal refund! Beginning February 1st, 2013 and running through April 15th, 2013, all U.S. Citizens and legal residents over age 18 that are due a federal tax refund can save a portion of that refund using IRS Form 8888 and enter the sweepstakes.
