    Default Don't tell my dh but....

    So I got a check in the mail the other day from my home insurance co. After a few phonecalls I find that I had double-paid my house insurance! Seems since we re-fied last year, our insurance comes out of escrow. Sooo....here I have this $600 check that NO ONE BUT ME knows about. How nice is that to just slip into savings.......

    Great idea Heather. If you do that you'll literally be smiling all the way to the bank

    Found money is the best. It's like finding cash and coins you forgot about in your pants, jackets, and old purses.

    $600 is like finding mega-cash!

    WOW! Better to overpay than underpay!

    That will make a great addition to your savings.
