To paraphrase Gordon Gekko, money works, money is good. Found money, even better. I put finding money somewhere just above triple chocolate fudge brownies sprinkled with coconut flakes and just below finding said brownies in the kitchen after a 14 hour day. Thanking the brownie fairy as we speak.
No matter the amount, I like to savor the joy that is found money. I don't spend it right away and when I do, I like to buy something I might not have otherwise bought. Or, better yet, spend it on someone else, I might buy a cheer 'em up greeting card, for instance.
My biggest found on the street hey day, pay day? $32.00.
This family of dollars is going towards something special, just what hasn't been decided. In the meantime, they will rest comfortably in a a box, on a shelf. Perhaps they'll be able to convince some friends to join them.
That would be sweet.
Your right, nothing can top finding money on the street. One time, as a kid, I was blackberry picking with my friend and I trod on a £20 note, but my friend picked it up before I could get down there, we split the money £10 each, that was big money to a 12 year old ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy ma found £50 once and she spend it on me, bless her :-)

ReplyDeletei still remember the sadness that accompanied my realization that money in mom's purse was not considered "found."
ReplyDeleteahhh, lessons of early childhood ...
I found 20 quid once. That was a very good day :) Unfortunately, that type of thing is not a frequent occurrence!
ReplyDeleteMy 10 y.o. daughter has some kind of lost-money-attracting power! She has an affinity for finding tenners.
