Money

What is the most amount of money you have ever found or been given back in change?

And did you keep it?

A few years ago I went thru the bank drive thru and cashed some checks, recieved my money and started to pull away. I NEVER ever checked the envelpoes till I got home but something kept telling me to check it, I kept fighting it but finally checked it.

As I was counting, there was 20 after 20 after 20 dollar bills. I had to stop and think a minute about what I cashed and I was only due about 40 some dollars. My first instinct was to keep counting and pull off- no one would know where that money went. And I thought- YES a shopping spree! That was a time we really needed that extra money! Then I saw my kids in the back seat and what a great lesson that was was to teach them!
Yes , I HAD to turn around and I had to somewhat fight with the lady and explain this is not my money- she couldnt understand that I was returning it. BTW it was over $300 she gave me!

Another great lesson, Kenzie found $5 in Krogers so we turned it in knowing the cashier may keep it cuz know one was going to expect someone to turn money in. So in about a week the cashier mailed it to Kenzie cuz no one claimed it.

For some reason we find money all the time! Matt found 10 and 20 dollars at different times at Foodtown just laying on the ground with no one around. We have found gift certifcates and even purses in carts at stores. And always get the wrong change back!

Maybe we find it to return it, I dont know but when we lose something its for good! I dont know why I posted this, I guess im just really bored and thinking about money??!

Unfortunately- I have to admit I have kept more than I was due, I didnt always do the right thing. But now I could never do that! I hate when people say well it was the cashiers fault not mine!!! So I kept it!
