good deeds never go unnoticed (:

Ok so money has been really tight lately, we always have enough to pay the bills but not so much for other things. well anyways today i went in to pay our cell phone bill and it just so happened to be a old friend from high school. well we wer chatting for a bit catching up while paying at the same time, i had to pay mostly in cash and the rest using a card, and idk i guess she wasnt paying too much attention and somehow she handed me the cash back along with the card. When i got back to the car i realized what had happend and i have to admit i was soooo tempted to keep the cash and drive off. After all money is tight and it wouldve helped out alot to pay for other things. but i did the right thing and went back inside and told her what happened. she hadnt even realized her mistake till i told her but she was so grateful she said she just got that job and she probably would've been fired for coming up short at the end of the day. it felt good to do something good i guess lol. yea that money would've helped me but i think God was testing me and i feel like i did the right thing (:

My hubby taught me that good karma always comes around. It always pisses me off to see people trick the system while were trying so hard the get things payed for. Like you, we get bills payed and thats about it. Well we had to pay our first phone-internet-cable pkg last month and for some reason they never sent us the bill for our cell phones. Were still waiting for it but it helped us get back on track. And even though we have money saved up its for emergency only and we had have to use some at some point. I was happy we were smart and saved up instead of spending it all. Now im a little ahead in things and i splurged and got a little pair of shoes that was on sale for my little man. And a friend of my moms was having a garage sale and let us get first pick at the baby clothes. So for 120$ i got over 150 outfits ranging from 0-12months and they are beautiful. She got them all from high end shops. Each outfit easily cost her 30-50$. So good things always comes around when u do good deeds.

I remember when my hubbys cousin found out she was pregnant and got kicked out of her house we took her in and boy did we struggle for a long time! It was right when my hubby lost his job but we knew that at least she had a roof over her head and food and she wasnt just sleeping everywhere. She was safe with us. Good things finally did happen for us at some point. And i dont regret helping her out. She use to take drugs and smoke and now shes drug and smoke free, her baby is her life and shes going too school to go into building design or whatever its called. :)

I had something similar happen as well, I went into Walmart to get groceries and dog food and I was talking to my friend who is a cashier and we paid and went out and I realized that we hadn't paid for the dog food or pop and bottled water... about $40 worth of stuff... so I went back in and she was like oh I didn't even notice it... lol. I could have used the money as well, but I would rather be honest and happy then rich and guilty haha
