Have you ever found money? If the answer is no, now is your chance. The Find Unclaimed Money database is helping people all over the country find and claim lost or missing money. If you want to do your part to locate found money, log onto the Find Unclaimed Money database and search using a first and last name. Once you’ve found money, you have several choices as to what to do with it.

Spend It: If you’ve ever found money, you probably wanted to spend it right away. That’s the usual reaction people have when they suddenly come into the possession of money that they didn’t have beforehand. As they say, “Easy come, easy go.”

Save It: Of course it would be a far better idea to save the found money in a high-yield savings account. This way you can start earning interest on the found money and you’ll end up with far more money in the future.

Invest It: If you’ve ever found money, there’s a good chance that money was used by the state or federal government to try and earn more money on top of it. That’s right, the found money was invested by the government, which is a common practice all across the country. You can tear a page from the treasury playbook by investing your found money in a low-risk account that promises a higher return on your investment.

Give It Away: If you’ve ever found money, you may not have considered giving it to anyone else, but you may want to. You can really make someone’s day with just a few bucks. You can even give it to charity or you can give it to a friend or family member in need. There’s no better feeling than doing something for someone else. As they say, “Pay it forward.”

If you happen to find money using the Find Unclaimed Money database and you’re stuck on what to do with it, you now have several choices. Remember, this money is and always has been yours so it’s entirely up to you what happens to it. You can spend it now on bills or a much needed family vacation, or you can make sure it works for you in the near future.

On the other hand, you could always tuck it away into a high interest savings account until you figure out what to do with it, as long as you don’t forget about it. Then it would just turn right back into unclaimed funds and would only add to this growing lost funds problem. With not all lost funds turning into found funds, this problem really does continue to grow. So make sure you take some initiative with this problem and conduct a free found money search today to see if you or anyone you know has lost funds out there waiting to become found money!
