I appreciate that you’re empathetic to the degree that you’re still bothered by it, picturing that person’s suffering at the loss. Your solution to give it to a charity is a wonderful one many folks might not have thought of. I’m going to read this story to my daughter up to the point where you come up with your solution, and talk with her about her ideas. Then read your solution. I love it.

I find your solution to be very moral, and one I could live with myself. You attempted to find the proper owner, and then passed it on to others who need it more than you when the rightful owner could not be found. Thank you for sharing . . . I’m inspired by your post.

you did the best you could. On the rare times I carry more then $5, it stays in my wallet, inside another bag to minimize the chance of it being lost. thank you for trying to find the first owner of the money you found. I’m sure the charity appreciated the donation.

Money clip. As thick and uncomfortable to get in and out of the pocket as possible. Monogrammed with my name. I only carry cash, I got out of the credit/debit card/checking account game years ago.
