One of the best feelings is finding an old pair of jeans that you haven’t worn in a couple of years, reaching your hand in the pocket and pulling out a ten-dollar bill! Man, oh man, ten dollars has never been so exciting.
We’ve all had this happen to us. Maybe it wasn’t ten—maybe it was one dollar or fifty! It’s like finding buried treasure—money you didn’t even know you had. The average American family has about $90 hidden around their home, just waiting to be discovered.
So how much hidden treasure is in your house? Let’s find out!
Since every good treasure hunt needs a map, here are some places to look:
X – Junk drawers and closets.
X – Under furniture cushions.
X – Corners of the house.
X – Old clothes and jackets.
X – Suitcases.
X – Mugs.
X – Knick knacks around the house.
X – In cars: under seats and in glove boxes and ashtrays.
Make it a family activity, and see how much you can find. Now go back The Frugality Game and record your find in the Adventure Journal—how much you found and where.
Eureka! You’ve stuck gold in Frugality Tokens and in cold, hard cash to add to your Emergency Fund.
When you’re done, come back to The Frugality Game and play Match for Money again to receive your next quest.
