I don’t think I could have married someone that’s more supportive than my wife. She’s extremely supportive of all the things I do. I’m the kind of person that gets excited about ideas. I come home some days with something totally different and new, and I’m talking fast, and my eyes are bright – and she’s smiling back at me and saying, “Yes!! You should totally do that!!” In a world where you’ll have people lining up around the block to tell you why what you want to do won’t work, my wife is a bright light. It’s easy to believe in yourself when you get to live with someone that believes in you.
This blog has been one of those things. It has had little benefit for her, but she’s always encouraged me to keep doing it. She’s always believed in it. And she’s contributed a lot to it. In fact, she contributed the idea for this post.
Earlier today, she was reading Money magazine, which is completely uncharacteristic of her. She’s not a reader, and when she does read, she usually likes to read something related to medicine. Since we get Money (and Business Week!) though, sometimes she’ll flip through it just to see if she comes across something that she thinks would be interesting for the blog. Today, she found something like that, and suggested that I share it here.
It was just a little blurb:
“State treasuries contain about $33 billion in unclaimed funds, such as old dividend checks, dormant bank accounts, or refunds you forgot you were owed (or never knew about at all).”
Which begs the question – how do I find out if I’m one of the lucky people that’s owed money. Money offers two sites that allow you to find out whether you’re owed money, Unclaimed.org and Missingmoney.com.
You might be wondering what this money is or where it comes from. A typical situation might be a bank account that hasn’t had any activity in years or an insurance policy that was never collected on. If you have a deceased relative whose name comes up – heirs are able to claim unclaimed property as well. Check out the sites for more in-depth information.
If you find out you’re owed money, feel free to send some of it my way;) Good luck and thanks for reading.
