I don't even know. I had a Snoopy piggy bank that had a bunch of silver dollars and older coins. Can't find it anywhere.

Misplaced $1000 early this year. Found it in my luggage a day after returning home.

Got drunk playing bigshot out of towner at an upscale bar in St. Louis. Looked to each side and saw 10 people and said to buy a round for the house. There were 50+ sitting at tables behind me.

1980's titty bars in Houston I'll just leave it at overspent at least once weekly.

Mu Alpha Theta (math club) in high school, we raffled off a color TV owned by a friend of ours, while his parents were at their house in Aspen. Friend's raffle ticket was pinned inside the cardboard box for the drawing. 9th and 10th graders had bought tickets like crazy, 25 cents each or 10 for a buck. Friend gets to school late with a forged (obviously) excuse just as the drawing in front of a general assembly for the entire school just before lunch. Name is called just as he left the office and he casually walks up to receive is own color Tv, (a lot bigger in 1971 than today.

Threw a beer bust at his home while parents away. The white wool carpet in the hallway and into the bedrooms was black the next morning as a few of us pitched in to help clean up, AS HIS PARENTS ARRIVED A WEEK EARLY. We scattered before shiit hit the fan.

A few of us were 17, the rest 16. Ahhh the days of beer distributors not caring as long as you said if was for your parents when picking up kegs of beer.

Forgot to pay off appliances that were 0% financing for a 18months. Went to make another minimum payment not realizing it and BAM! $1600 in interest was tacked on that bitch the very next day. I'm still VERY bitter about that.

That counts right?

That's some Ferris Bueller level shite there. Would make a great segment in a movie.

We did give some of the earnings to the club. None of the raffle tickets were numbered. They are just mimeographed slips with a line for name and not even a receipt.

Also the next door neighbor owned the beer distributorship and was disappointed that he and his wife were not invited to the party

Among the members who were involved, the majority became MD's, One became a manager of a rental equipment company, One became a banking consultant and another became a top engineer for deepwater Oil for Shell, globally, two ended up owning their own companies, one being me. The majority were starters on the football team, none played basketball, two were on the track team.

Years ago (1985 or so) I lost my wallet containing just over $5000.
About five years later, when I get home one afternoon, wife asks what I would do if I found $5000. I immediately said “”you found my fu!$&ng wallet!!” It had just over $5200 in it and was inside our couch.

Pretty shitty return over 5 years, but at least you gained some interest from the couch bank
