Every little bit counts!

2 years ago XH and I got SD a Walmart debit card that we could load easily. This was back when she was in college and being responsible. I put money on it for her to use for whatever emergency or need she had at the time. 

Well that card never got shut down apparently like I thought, because I got a new set of cards in the mail today. I got online and there has been zero activity as far as 06/12 - the oldest date accessible on the account.

However....there's still $12 on it!  Looks like I'm going to get a little bit of my money back.  Maybe I'll put it toward a good bottle of hooch and toast my freedom. Or maybe put it directly into my investment account and let that $12 grow along with all my other spare $$ into a nice big fat investment fund.

It's very small, but strangely, somehow taking this little tiny amount that I'm recouping from her and putting it into something that will be much, much bigger makes me really, really, REALLY happy.

  • Go spend it on your daughter! I don't think anythin would piss of XSD more than knowing Daddy's new little girl got something of hers. FWIW I have not been through as muh as you but I took the shirts my Mom bought for SD for Christmas when SD never showed up because they fit me and my Mom is happier thinking SD got them and I took the sweatshirt that we bought SD that still had tags on it when she moved out and her snow boots that she left behind. We spent thousands moving her and she left after 13 days, it did feel good to feel like I did not waste money on anything else. So enjoy you 12 bucks.
