So, we get this Kiplinger's newsletter every week in the mail, courtesy of my grandfather.

I've found it extremely vague, slightly amusing, and Donnie figured out it's good for wrapping birthday gifts...

Recently, there was an additional piece of paper included in the envelope... Kiplinger's Personal Finance Adviser

Well that piece of paper has proven to be the most worth while advice I've read since we started receiving the newsletter a few months ago...

"Some $32.9 billion in unclaimed assets is sitting in state treasuries and other agencies. If you moved to a new address without alerting the right financial institutions or if you let an account lie dormant and the institution determined it couldn't find you, some of the money may be yours. Start the hunt at

which hosts searchable databases for nearly every state. If your state isn't listed, go to www.unclaimed.org for a link to your state's treasury"

And the best part is? I have an LL Bean refund due to me! I have no idea how much it's for, but $25 is better than $0!
