So I decided to look up the status of DH's unclaimed property from Hawaii today to see if it was still showing as available. It wasn't so I'm presuming it is on its way to us right now.

But something nudged me to check and see if there was anything for myself.

Sure enough there was, it was from our old cable company.

I have to just chuckle about it because although the amount is small, I think about all the other times we've received money this year not related to our paycheck and its amazing. It won't seem amazing if I detail it out, but truth is, it is money we weren't expecting.

In March & April, DH got extra pay for trips he had taken.

In May, I received a check for $1700 for an overpayment of our escrow account

In June, DH received about $700 from a trip

In July, I got money as a gift

In August, Dh got more money from traveling

I don't remember if we received anything in September, but my greatest sense of gratitude there is that we pulled our money out of the market & into secured funds at the end of September. If we had, our money would be worth $12K right now vs the $15-$16K it is right now.

October & November I received the reimbursement for my tuition expenses and we were notified of our unclaimed property
In December, DH is taking another trip.

I don't know, I seem to find money when I don't expect it which is nice. I opened my wallet the other day (I don't do that often because I usually use my debit cards and they are in the front) and realized that I not only had money in the main part but also more tucked behind a pocket.

I haven't spent any of it and don't intend to, but as I said, its just nice to find cash around when you don't expect it.

Anyhow, so off I go now to file another unclaimed property form so I can get that money back.
