April isn’t only for tricks and taxes

Posted by Kim McGrigg on 4/9/2008

The month of April is commonly associated with April Fools Day and the far less merry Tax Day. But did you know that April is also Financial Literacy Month?

In honor of this, the creators of Save Or Spend have created FinancialLiteracyMonth.com. FinancialLiteracyMonth.com offers a fresh approach to money management with a simple 30 step path to financial wellness. In addition to the 30 steps, the Web site provides access to financial tools, savings tips, and the option to join others in taking the pledge to financial freedom!

Visit FinancialLiteracyMonth.com today to take the pledge! While April is the official Financial Literacy Month, the 30 step path will help you create a successful strategy to better your overall financial situation no matter what day or month of the year you begin.

If you have a tax refund strategy, story, or solution, we’d love to hear it.

The average tax refund is more than
$2,000—and that’s a lot of money.

Will you spend? Should you save?

Do you owe?

Did you know that Libras expect the largest refunds?

How do I know? Well, I’m a real refund know-it-all! In fact, when it comes to spending and saving, there isn’t much I don’t know.

Don’t believe me? I’ll prove it! Let’s play ‘Save Or Spend?’

How do you prepare your tax return?

The old fashioned way -- pencil & paper
I use technology, such as TurboTax
I get help from a professional


	Initial Amount: What is the dollar amount of your original deposit?


	Monthly Deposit: Will you contribute additional funds on a regular basis? If not, answer 0.


	Annual Interest: Will the interest be compounded monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually? What is your expected interest rate?


	Number of years: How many years will you invest?


	We're sure your story is just super. If everyone else thinks so too, you can win a prize. Alerting you by email seems more practical than running down the street yelling your name.
