Ever had that mini heart-race when you find some forgotten bills tucked away in an old jacket or a book? It’s like a tiny, unexpected bonus from your past self. Just the other day, I was cleaning out my winter coat and found twenty bucks in the pocket. No grand jackpot, but enough coffee money to make my day a little brighter. It got me thinking about how often we overlook these small, hidden treasures around us. Have you ever stumbled upon some money you forgot about? What’s the best surprise cash find you’ve ever had?

That little surprise cash find is seriously the best kind of mini celebration! I once found a $50 bill in an old book I hadn’t touched in years—felt like my past self was giving me a high five. It’s funny how those forgotten stashes can brighten up an otherwise ordinary day.

It’s a great reminder to do a quick sweep of jackets, drawers, or even old bags every now and then. Even if it’s just a few bucks, it’s like free money you didn’t have to earn again. Definitely makes me want to be more mindful about where I stash my cash next time!
