Consumers’ talk tax season via @GameStop survey

GameStop recently surveyed over 1K tax refund recipients, ages 18-44, to find out how they really spend their tax refund, how they wish they could spend it, what they would do to get more money and more. Here are some top stats:

• Willing to Sacrifice: 30 percent of respondents would be willing to give up chocolate and candy for a whole year if they could receive double their refund. 20 percent would be willing to give up their car and 15.6 percent would be willing to visit their in-laws every weekend.
• Sense of Humor: Grumpy Cat and Pac-Man were tied at 20 percent each for how respondents would characterize the IRS!
• Travelers: Looks like Americans love to travel because 44 percent of respondents would rather receive their refund in the form of a flight; the second runner-up for first choice was video games (16.5 percent).
• Honest: Only 7 percent of respondents have ever lied about what they spent their refund on
• Charitable: Almost half – 54 percent – of respondents would be willing to donate part of their refund to a charity of their choice

The survey was conducted between Feb. 11 and 16, 2015, via Survata.com.
