When I was in my late teens my grandfather died, and roughly 18 months later my grandmother passed away as well. My mom and her 11 brothers & sisters were all at the house after the funeral, and some of them decided to start going through their parent's bedoom. One of them was digging through the clothes closet and found a $50 bill in the pocket of one of my Grandfather's suites. At about the same time someone else found a roll of $100's in a drawer. They all looked at each other in surprise, then kept looking and, to everyone's amazement, it turned into a huge money hunt, each one finding money hidden everywhere.
No one had a clue it would be like that.
It was as if it was a final gift of fun given to the kids, and it really did work. I have no idea how much they had when it was all found but each of the 12 kids including my mom got a nice little chunk of money.
But damn... if that house had of burned down accidentally or something before that it would all have been for nothing.
I think I'll stick with my bank and investments.
