The other day, I was grumbling about how thankless and unrewarding job being a housewife can be as I was doing laundry.
Then I reached into the washer machine to pull out my husband’s laundry….
I’m rich, biatch!!!!
Well, not really. It was $5.00.
* * *
But every bit helps, right? It’s funny how my attitude towards money has changed since I quit working last year. Where as $5 wouldn’t even faze me two years ago, now I immediately think to myself “that’s a gallon of gas!” when I find money in the washing machine! This is my first time not working since I was 19 – even though it’s been a year and a half since I became a housewife/stay-at-home mom, I am still getting used to not bringing in an income.
Sometimes I look at the bank statement and think to myself, “why is there no money in there?!” and don’t even get me started on the credit card…somehow this summer, my husband and I both – okay, fine, it was mostly me – lost track of our budget and almost maxed out his credit card. I was so distraught over it being close to the limit that when I went to pay it, I accidentally paid it twice. We ended up with about $30 in our checking account with almost two weeks before his next paycheck, right before he was leaving for his first trip out of the country! Thank goodness for a cash advance, or we would have been screwed until the next payday!
lmao Take it where you can get it I say. Wish I could find money doing the laundry like that, but I am the only one in the house with any money. 🙂 Enjoy your hard earned cash!
Lol!
Niiice!
I LOVE when that happens!
I love when that happens.. I always give it back though..
Ha! my husband said not to do his laundry b/c I’d find $300 in one of his pants pockets…that would be a score!
Oh YAAAA Baby! 🙂 I say finders keepers…
LOL well I hope he doesn’t read your blog or you might find him coming looking for that moolah!
I TOTALLY would have yelled I’m rich, biatch! out loud if that happened to me LOLOLOLOL
Hey money is money and it is better when you find it!! WOO!
Woo Hoo! Don’t spend it all in one place, lol.
Woo Hoo!! I say whatever I find is mine!
$5 is money nonetheless! Can I borrow about $3.50?
That’s always been the rule in my house – whatever I find in the laundry is MINE.
So if you leave money in your pocket… look out I’m keeping it.
Have fun with your find. =)
Finders keepers, losers weepers! HEHEHE
$5 bucks is better than the loose change or tiny pieces of paper I tend to find! Treat yourself to something rich, like a dark chocolate bar!!
Nice. I would have grabbed it and ran!!!
Sweet!!! I would be ecstatic if I found $5 in the wash!
Haha! That’s awesome!
haha … I love laundry pay days. They don’t come very often though!
Man, all I ever find is $1! Lucky girl you!!!
Lucky! I find rocks, toys, gum wrappers and tissues… LOL!
Much better than crayons and burst pens..
HAHA!! Love finding money in my laundry!!
