That's a good thing that you don't keep the money with you and instead give it to some beggar or someone who needs it more than you. That's so caring and good. As for me, I have already experienced finding money lying on the road and to be honest, I kept it for myself. Well actually, my friend and I divided the money in half and we both equally shared the amount,. That was probably one of the things that I was really guilty of in the end. When I realized that what I did was wrong, totally wrong.. I was in complete guilt . Whoever was the owner of that money could have been so worried or maybe that's the only money he/she has but then we didn't return it to him/her but instead we kept it for ourselves.. I know my mistake and I already learned valuable lessons from doing that. The next time that I can find money again, I guess I won't repeat the same mistake like what I did in the past. I just really wanna correct my mistakes and do good. -Best of luck-

well if the money is inside the wallet i can find a way to trace its owner so i will give it to him/her. but in case there's no one to claim and its not that big amount then maybe i can just keep it and wait for someone to claim for it.

That is a nice thing to do. But some people that find money need the money, and it is good for them to keep it.

If it's a few cents I keep it.

I usually keep it if it is just laying on the ground. Who are you going to return cash to if it is on the ground? It evens out though because one time I found $5.00 at the checkstand of the grocery store and another time I forgot to pick up my $6.00 change at the same store, so like I said it has a way of balancing out. I usually am desperate for the money when I do find it and I feel that that is God's way of helping us out when we really need the money. I usually end up buying some groceries with the little I find.
