Yesterday afternoon, I woke up from a nap on my couch and noticed that all my coins were missing. I quickly searched around and realized that all my coins fell into the couch. I dug through it, and I finally came up with $12.38 cents worth which included a $10 bill (my fiancee swore it was hers and we decided to think of a good way to spend it (I wanted to save it!)
The title reminded me of a scene in my younger days; my mom told me that half of my money should go to her when I?? the richest person in the world (jokingly of course). I told her that I would never be the richest person in the world since she would probably ask my sister to do that and half of my money plus half of my sister?? money would make her the richest person in the world, not me (I was argumentative ever since I was young). Anyway, of course my mom didn’t expect me to give her half of my money but she certainly did not expect me to give all my money to my couch!
How many of you are victims of losing money on a daily basis? I?? talking about those of us that have coins fall under the car seat, into the couches, even losing wallets and bags over the years. How do you reckon we have lost just on these types of incidents? What if we could somehow recover the coins and invested with it? Would we become rich just like the example in the movie Pursuit of Happiness?
I wish I was able to bring back all the money I have lost.
