I lost my money =(

When i feel frustrated by something i usually go outside , find a nice shady place to sit down and gather my thoughts .Sometimes i stay there for hours sometime for minutes, depends on the situation :)

Oh that's just sad! I have felt the same before, but unlike yours, mine is quite traumatic. I put my money in my backpack pocket then went to the mall and found a sale. I was lining up to pay for the items that I bought, then suddenly, I felt that there was a pull on my bag, then the person behind me left. Instinctively, I reached for my backpack pocket and saw that the zipper was unzipped and my money was gone. I think the person was able to steal around $45-$50. Good thing I had some slipped money inside my wallet. It was really sad. I saved that money for myself and someone took it from me. I was too shaken to report anything anymore, I just went home and cried. Nowadays, whenever I have money, I never put it anywhere reachable. I always put it in tight spots where it's difficult for even me to get them. Then I would always make sure to check once in a while. I think that event taught me to be cautious all the time. Anyhow, I just hope that however got our money needed it so bad that it would be okay for them to do so. But still, it's wrong. Have a great MyLot experience!

hi totally undecided oh yes house cleaning can be therapeutic. I remember as a new bride I was upset over something my new hubby did,now years later I only remember it was something really silly, but I did not wane time I had lunch ready he called me on the phone. Whatever it was tht to have that first quarrel so I did the laundry,like you, rearranged all the kitchen cabinets, swept the floor, vacuumed the floor, and by that time what I was upset about, he just explained on the phone, I remember I told him how upset I was that I totally cleaned the house. We both laughed about it. I am truly sorry you lost your money.thats never any fun.but maybe someone who was totally ready to give up found it and decided it has changed their luck.

Why sew it? Do you have a back up wallet or something else new instored there? to be honest, five hundred pesos is a lot of money. you're lucky that you got a job now that could compensate for future money loss. I'd be depressed and furious if I lost 12$, that's already load of big bucks if it's in pesos.. Just be careful nextime.

Well, at least you didn't waste your time destroying things...that would have been not-so-pretty scenario. Over the years, I have been loosing some amount of money and I despair every time it happens (it is money an d it doesn't grow on trees). People keep telling me to take good care of it and I did by buying a wallet which basically the only place where i keep my money, except for my secret stash for emergencies. Anyway, I console myself every time that I lose an amount of money, I will work harder and keep my eye on those bill and maybe spend them rather than being stolen by some kid to use for his own purposes. I do hope that the person who picked your money will at least thank you anonymously.

It's so frustrating when we lose money, no matter how much we lost, is always bad. Specially, when we already had plans for the money. But, probably you made someone very happy, because the best thing is to find money that you did not expected.

I check my clothes for holes every so often to avoid that problem because I have seen that happen to other people before. I kind of feel bad when people lose their money like that, but you have to be vigilant when it comes to your money.

Oh that's sad but after all what happened you managed to clean your clean and do that general cleaning.. Atleast you forgot for awhile that you've lost that kind of money. Php 500 is hard to earn nowadays, but the most important thing.. "You learned from it". next time bring your wallet or purse with you so you and most especially if you have a pocket check on every time you go out.. Take care my friend...

Well it is a good thing that it wasn't even more money then that! I'm sorry you lost that money to begin with but it could have been much more money. Glad you were able to get your frustrations out by cleaning, and now you have a cleaner home and a sweeter disposition!

That really happens and give us lesson. Good thing,you were able to clean your house and done the laundry in due time I also do same thing,when i feel so upset,i clean my house,do the laundry and make myself too busy not to think of the thing/s that made me upset. And one more thing,you were able to sew that hole in your pocket. have a good day

Well, just charge it to experience, you know most of my pants also have torn pockets or hemlines, i cannot find time really to sew them. Sometime i put safety pins before going to work since i am already in a hurry. There are times i use masking tapes to hold it in place. On weekends no matter how i budget my time i could not allot few minutes for sewing. Anyway, in your case maybe you should not put money in your pockets anymore.

I love that attitude of yours. Nice to know that you are an optimistic person. You were able to take things positively. You're right! Cleaning is very therapeutic and it can make you feel and think better if your room or house is clean and organized. Have a great day!

hello totallyundecided, I am sorry for your money lost.You should sew you those holes in you bag avoid it happen next time. I remember i also lost my money from side pocket of my trouser when i kept some 200 INR ($4.25) in hurry though i had to keep it in my wallet.When i put my hand to take out handkerchief and my money fell down along with it and i did not notice it.When i reach home and i put my hand in my pocket i was surprised for not finding my money i was depressed and went back to the place from where i was coming in the hope that i will get my money if it fell on the road but i could not found it.In frustration i did not do anything but slept.

hi there! Though you have lost your money, you earned a clean home. Its a better way of expressing your frustration rather than express it in an angry manner. Well, keep your money safe and be sure not to lose it. For me, I keep them in a wallet(everything inside it) so I have a generic place to search for money. Furthermore, if I do lose it, it would be easier to feel that you lost sth and can gain it back quickly. Well, just my 2 cents. Good day anyway and enjoy mylotting!

I too clean the house when i'm angry...usually the kitchen cupboards because i hate that job. Cleaning helps me not to think about why I was angry. Now that I live alone, it's not so bad...I don't become angry anymore. Sorry that you lost your money, you were probably hungry too. I hope you have sewn those pockets now.

There have actually been a couple of times in my life where I've lost my money. The first time that I can think of was when I was in middle school and my money was stolen out of my purse when I was on a school trip. The other time that I lost my money was when I was in college and I had money that had fallen out of my pocket. It really isn't a good experience to lose your money, but it is something that we are able to learn from in my experiences.

I am sorry you lost your money as I know how disappointing and sad I would get when I loose and or misplace money. I am glad you took your frustration out on cleaning as a clean house for me certainly sparks my mood and gets me in a better mood. Hopefully what you lost will benefit someone and maybe someday you too will be blessed with finding some much needed money.

U are a positive person, that's one good point about u. There's no point in crying over spilled milk, because it's gone. Instead of being frustrated over it, think of it as helping others with the money lost, a form of charity. All u need to do now is to check through all your laundry, prevent any loopholes for charity to take action on their own, against u.

I'm sad for you.I totally know the feeling because it also happened to me once. I almost cry in despair. At least, we learned our lesson to be more careful next time. Your way of releasing your sadness is also good. Have a nice day!!
