I found 25¢ under my pillow once after I lost a tooth in first grade. I of course capitalized off this by drafting my classmates. None of em had any teeth by the time second grade came around. It’s amazing how much money you can make from a Nerf bat.
I walked into a convenience store, and found 20 bucks laying the parking lot. I picked it up and came home and put it in my daughter’s bank. Nobody was around me, nobody saw me. Score.
Today I got my quarter back from putting back an aldi’s cart. Then I noticed the Quarter was sticking out of another cart there. So I pulled it out. I’m kinda trying to make a joke. But this did actually happen today.
About 8 years ago just shortly after my divorce I was totally broke and didn’t know how I was going to feed the kids. I cleaned out every jacket pocket and every purse and in the car. I came up with over $70!! Cha ching!
I took the bus to the dentist the other day, and the machine wouldn’t accept my card for some reason. I gave him £5 cash. The conductor/driver gave my ticket and the five pound back with change.
I told him that i gave him £5 and he had given it back thinking I had given him a tenner.
I was worried I didn’t have enough money to impress my dinner guests. But I found $20 in a cupboard and was able to buy some food extras with it. ($20 went a lot further when this happened).
