I know this is a weird topic for a bass site but I just had to ask......Does anyone else find money. I don't know if I'm lucky or just in the right place at the right time. I've found $30 in the tray at an ATM, I've found $20 in the change part of a self-serve checkout at a market, I've found $20 on the sidewalk, I've found $50 in a parking lot, I've found $70 in a bathroom stall and I found a half ounce of weed in the parking lot of a party store (true story). Anyone else find a large sum of money. |

| | | I found a dollar the other day, then a quarter right after.. I was happy lol
But I do have a history of finding money. When I was 5 I would 100 bucks, and my mom said it was 20 and gave me an my brother 10... She proceeded to buy us clothes and such with it.. What would a 5 year old do with 100 beans??? 100 juice boxes???? I have found 20 bucks in the street before as well. I have two stories that make it seem like finding money is more than just bit a luck sometimes...
One time I stopped to go on a beer run. I didn't have much money to spend on alcohol, I was with a buddy who was buying. The corner store is located next to a liquor store and I knew that a while back, the people who worked at the liquor store would put full bottles in the garbage on a certain night, and then pick it up later on. It just so happened to be that night.. and I had the strangest urge to check it out. Nothing was there.. but as I turned to walk away, I saw something out the corner of my eye.. it was like 7 or 12 bucks laying in the street just waiting for me 
Another time, and my best story, I was getting on a train back from visiting my now ex gf. I get to the train station, bust out my wallet and order my ticket.. on the counter I spot a 20 dollar bill folded with what seemed like a few singles in it. I slip that in my pocket and proceed to pay with my own money. I get down to the platform to count my winnings... a 20 dollar bill and four 100 bills! CHA-CHING! |

Other people's money, now and then.
