Let’s see - we’ve been working on selling things… we’ve been working on returning things we never used, followup on money we should have but don’t, etc.

We’ve also been doing freecycle and letting friends and family know about things we are looking for… this has resulted in some pretty cool surprises, more later on that.

We’ve also been insanely busy in our business, and we are taking advantage of it - with real estate so volatile we want to get as much business done when it’s offered as possible.

Oh, and we’ve been enjoying the summer with our kids, spending most of our time in the river!

I was racking my brain the last several days trying to find a way to fill in the gaps in our budget.  I’m certain that what I found isn’t going to happen to everyone, but I imagine that many of you will have “lost” funds that fall into this same category.

I remembered that about two years ago I prepaid for come chiropractic visits because my chiropractor at the time was offering some pretty good discounts to do so. After that, I got very busy, kept forgetting to go, and the problem I was going for seemed to go away on it’s own.

Flash forward two years or so, and I remembembered that the money was still there. I called the office and now have a check for around $500 on its way to me. I wouldn’ t recomend using this method as some sort of odd “savings account,” as some business might have a no-refund policy. But there it was when we needed it. Makes me wonder what else I might have forgotton about…..
