This reminds me of the time where rent was due and I just did not have the money for it. I didn't know what happened, I budgeted and did everything right but for some reason, I was like $1000 short.
As I was packing my shit, ready for the inevitable eviction, I found like $1500 cash in my nightstand. I forgot that I had pulled out rent already and kept it somewhere "safe"
I used to stash birthday money in my books. Then completely forget about it.
Years later I’d be reading a book and bam, here’s $50. Or here’s $100.
There is a non-zero chance that there is still money stashed amongst the pages. I did check them all, though not overly thoroughly.
A couple of years ago, tired of having to keep packing them up everytime we moved house (due to lease ending and rent increasing), I drove the books 1000km away to my parent’s house. My niece and nephews now have their own library.
(I did tell them that there may be money in some of the books, and to please let me know if they find any)
