A bank accidentally put $120,000 in a couple’s account. Then the pair spent most of it, police say.

Exactly. If the bank somehow took money out of their account, we all know they would have been on the phone within five minutes trying to get their cash back.

I'm more amazed at how quickly they spent the money. It's not like they said "hey lets pay a couple of bills and get some plane tickets." They bought an RV, cars, gave money away etc. Lets say the bank actually GAVE them free money on purpose and said "it's yours." They burnt through it in half-a-month. That's insane. I'm curious if they just have bad habits or if they thought by spending it....no one would come looking for it.
The fact that two grown people only have $1000 between them in savings tells us all we need to know.

It’s funny to me everybody up in arms calling them dumb

But the same people see an article where someone turns in 2k they found and they are the biggest dummies for that too

It’s essentially the same exact thing. If this was a bag of cash on the road, nikkas would be begging them to steal every penny
Nah not really. If a person just drops money on the side of the road, it's gonna be nigh impossible to trace it. Conversely, a business can literally just check their history, find the account number that the money was deposited to, and just put in a refund notice.

In short, a bank can easily find you because it left a paper trail, whereas Joe Buck is SOL.

Edit: and I'd just give back the $2,000. I honestly don't have shyt that I'd like to buy in the near future, and I can come up on that in a month.

A thou my nikka? Meaning they got 500 each. That's not average working in any first world country. That means you suck at saving money. You're supposed to save 30% of your paycheck.
Bruh that's the avg American

You are naive and ignorant at the state of most ppl and their money

I don't live in the US but when I did $1000 wasn't the average. I just looked it up and that's minimum wage. I once worked at a place where I earned $6 an hour and had way more than $1000 in savings, by myself. We are talking about two people. The article made no mentions of kids. Bruh if you have a job and don't have more than $1000 in savings you're hustling backwards.

Random person finds a random bag of cash on the road, that shyt, more than likely isn't traceable.

If a financial institution puts money in the wrong account, they can easily figure out who it went to.
I get that part. I’m talking about the moral high ground people are trying to stand on. Like “how dare you spend money that isn’t yours”

But promote all sorts of the same kind of “finders keepers” rules for everything else

Avg American don’t have that in savings at all. America is the richest country but most people are below middle class and don’t save for shyt

I think the last avg savings was less than $500

I understand what you mean but it's not the truth. I live check to check. If I didn't have my girl I'd probably be broke but that's not the case with these people in the article. Even if they earned minumim, yo telling me that two people with no kids earning $1660 each a month only got $1000 in the bank? They are not saving money. The fact that they went out and bought cars and threw money at their people let's me know that they're economically illiterate.

America is not the richest country but ima let you cook. The problem is that people don't save money. You know how many of my people I had to help open up saving accounts for. If we got paid on Friday most of my Co workers would be broke on Monday. Some love to spend money as soon as they get it.
