Don’t Buy A New Bed IF…
What would be better than waking up to breakfast in bed (and not needing to clean the kitchen later)? Maybe a new mattress that someone else paid for, right?
Sure! Unless…
You hid your ONE MILLION DOLLAR LIFE SAVINGS in the old one!
Oops! Sorry, Mom!

Yeah, I didn’t think people really still did this either. Not long ago, my mother and her siblings bought my grandmother a new bed. I wonder what happened to the old one? Maybe I should ask?
Will you check with your parents/grandparents in the future before throwing out their mattress? If you’ve lost faith in the banking system and now you are resorting to the old standby of stuffing money in your mattress, what would you do in this situation?


I cannot imagine. I confess to having small amounts of cash stashed around the house — but it’s less than $100 AND it’s not in my mattress! That poor (literally now!) family!
