‘My actual total is $3,840.07’: I just made a claim for at least $500 in unclaimed property. How can I find more hidden money like this?

Hi Money Minder,

Hey Money Minder, have you checked out the unclaimed property websites for every state? You just put in your name and boom, you could be sitting on some unclaimed cash! It’s pretty lit – you get the city and address info too, so you can quickly see if it’s your jackpot waiting to be claimed. Feel the excitement and check every state you’ve lived in!

I hit the jackpot with 4 claims over $100, 4 over $25, and 2 under $25. Cha-ching!

Edit 1: So, in my state, the turnaround time for getting your hands on the moolah is super quick. They email you the claim within an hour of you submitting your deets. All you gotta do is print it, sign it, and either scan it in or pop it in the mail. Easy peasy.

Guess what? My grand total comes to a whopping $3,840.07. Can you believe it?

Turns out, I accidentally double-paid my credit card one month. Instead of applying it to the next bill, they sent me a check. I missed it because I’m an online-banking champ who ignores snail mail. That little blunder was worth a cool $2,516.55.

I also discovered a double payment for my homeowners’ insurance from when I refinanced my house. $699 straight into my pocket!

Oh, and there’s a $250 rebate just chillin’ there from my old energy company. Apparently, I never cashed it in. My bad.

And to top it off, $204.30 from Cenlar loans – not sure what that’s about, but hey, money is money, right?

So, I hope you peeps are more on the ball than I am. But you never know, you might just stumble upon a hidden treasure like me. Happy hunting!
