I took $200 out of the bank to pay the one bill I pay in cash, buy gas and have money in my pocket. Because my back hurt so, I only pumped $10 worth of gas. I think I spent $5 at the grocery and that was the last I saw of that money. I figured I am out $180, lost somewhere.
That was last Friday. I am devastated. Add in the fact that I cannot find my bank card, and I have also been without any money all weekend. I am quite sure I will find the card where it has slipped under the seat or someone where in the house.
Tommy was horrified, too. I did not tell him about the lost money. I have checked and rechecked purses, pants and the front seat. Probably, it was thrown out with trash from the car. I doubt it fell out of my pocket.
The card will show up now that I have ordered a new one. I will have to renew all my autopay items. I just wonder how many will bounce and what problems it will cause. ugh!
Do not bother to chide me or question my judgment or actions! I have managed to drown my sorrows in chocolate cereal and milk...several times each day.
The gas station where I buy gas at lowest price in town had/has low running gas pumps. That is why I only got $10 in gas. I had to go inside because I had no card last Friday. Then, I had to go back out. The gas would not pump fast enough for me to be able to stand. So, after $0.98, I got back in the car and drove to honk at the door and get my money back. I spent $2.45/gal. on gas after leaving a pump with $2.21 price.
Thee next day, I tried the same place again. No luck. So, I bought $10 in gas at a different station where I had to walk in to pay. I feel like I have spent the last four days in gas pursuit.
I managed to find enough coins and stray bills to buy a pint of ice cream and two bananas.
While I was hanging onto the counter, I saw packages of CBD. There was seven doses for $7.99. The label had a list of uses--sleep, pain, anxiety, among other things. I did not see how often CBD was to be consumed. Passing on that.
Have you ever lost so much money?

Oh no! How fruatrating! It will probably show up about the time you get the replacement! Hope the cash shows up as well.
ReplyDeleterps4boys,
DeleteThe card shows up after I cancel it or receive a new one. I have given up on the cash. It makes it a little less painful. Thanks. I hope you are right.
oh no, I can see why you are so upset. That's a lot of money to lose and I'd be devastated, too.
ReplyDeleteone, this has really hit me hard, financially and emotionally. Thanks.
DeleteOh man that is a real bummer! I hope it turns up somewhere
ReplyDeleteAnne,
DeleteThanks, me too!
Yes, I have lost money. I checked the purse I had three times, and the third time was the charm! I did find it in the first place I had looked after spending 2 days looking everywhere. Because it was so much money I am sure you put it in a very safe spot so it wouldn't fall out of pockets, etc. Look in everything else again. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you find it tucked away very safe!

DeleteI do keep checking all the places I have checked, places where I was positive I would have put it. Thanks. Hope I find it.
Oh, I am so sorry. I know how devastating that can be. :(
ReplyDeleteBelinda,
Delete"Devastating" is the best way to describe it.
Yes. Even more. It is no fun.
ReplyDeleteUrspo,
DeleteYou lost more. So sorry. Not fun at all.
I have lost money too. It really is upsetting. Especially if you don't have much margin for error. So sorry this happened to you. I am finding lately, that losing things happening more and more with me and I find it very stressful and disturbing. I hope you can find ways to safeguard. Try to have a good week.
ReplyDeleteNawm,
DeleteI definitely have no margin for error! I just never lose money! Thanks.
I once lost my entire $500 Christmas bonus when it fell out of my pocket when making my first purchase. I have not wadded money in my pocket since.
ReplyDeletehoosierboy,
DeleteGroan! That is tragic!
