Dear Lindsey: "I am writing anonymously because I have a huge moral dilemma. On Monday, I cashed a check at a local cash checking business and was stunned when the clerk gave me back the wrong amount. She must have added an extra zero. I still have the money and am considering returning it. On the other hand, I need the cash to pay my mortgage. It's not my fault the clerk added wrong and gave me way more cash than she was supposed to. What do I do? I really the need the money. Should I return it or not?"

Signed,

Dear Not a Thief,

 

This is simple. I'm gonna be COMPLETELY honest with you here. I personally, would keep the money.

 

However, if you believe in Good/Bad Karma, you should probably return it. Unless you think maybe this is a little good karma coming your way! Times are tough I get it. I'm right there with you. I look at it as "life just handed you lemons!" So, go make some lemonade!

 

This is just MY opinion.
