What should I do with this money?

March 6, 2007 8:15am CST
I found £1 on the street today. What do you think I should do with the money? Spend it, invest it, ut it in my kids money box or simply leave it in my purse to be put towards the normal housekeeping?

If it was me, I would probably just drop it in my wallet and combine with the rest of my petty cash. But hey, if you think this is some good luck token, clean it, then set it aside! 1 pound is too little to invest. :P

Well £1.00 is not so much these days - but I guess it's always better to find it, than to lose it! If I were you, I would put 50p in each of your girls' money boxes, or maybe buy them a little "treat" each with it - just some chocolate, or sweets, or something they don't have very often.

I don't ever buy sweets for my girls, so I might put it in their money boxes.

Ah you found a lucky quid. Well first make an affirmation on it and then say may it increase and then invest it! Why i say this? It was alucky pound and when it grows a bit then you can spend it to treat the kids. You can give some of it to your favourite charity too. Like planting a tree and making it grow. When it grows it bears so much fruit and so many benefit from it. It provides shade and comfort and lots of good qi..

I just spend money I find like that on day to day things, and am thankful for the extra pound or however much I found. It's a blessing sometimes when I'm really poor, shows someone or something is looking down on us in times of crisis I suppose.

I think you should donate it. Next time you're at the shops or somewhere with a donation box, drop it in!

I believe that the 'finder is the owner', morally speaking. Unless you have some way to return it to it's rightful owner, then you could spend it on anything that you want.

It would be better if u donate the money to charity. Since it doesnt belong to you, you must not keep it.

I think there is no way you can return it.So,you could donate it or put it in your kids money box.Toss and decide.

I have ever seen 50 cents at the corner of a busy street once and i did not pick it up. It is your luck to find the one dollar coin on the street, may be you should go to buy a lottery ticket with that 'lucky coin'.

If I find petty change like that I tend to either buy a lottery ticket or give it to the kids to treat themselves in the shop or put in their money boxes.

Maybe you could to the nearest charity shop and see what you can buy for a pound. If you spent it there you have bought something and gave to charity at the same time.
