Missing Money

Could you use some extra money that you never knew you had. Who couldn't? About a year ago I wrote about the website http://www.missingmoney.com/. It is a great site.

When money is unclaimed, such as utility deposits, dividend checks, bank accounts, store refunds and a host of other things, after a certain amount of time it "escheats" to the state. Each state in the United States has an office for unclaimed money. The site missingmoney has taken the lists for most states and computerized them in such a way that all you have to do is put in your name and see if there is any money out there for you. If there is money due to you go to the listings for the state office and fill out the form and mail it in and then wait for your check.

Most amounts are small but even so it is your money. And it's money. Even small amounts are great to come upon unexpectedly. So go to the site and enter your name and see if you have some money coming to you.
