It seems that most people have trouble keeping track of things. People lose their keys, phones, minds and, of course, money. Remember that bank account you had when you were sixteen and abandoned when you left for college? Remember those unclaimed traveler's checks you requested when people actually used traveler's checks? Of course you don't. And that's why that money is sitting in state bank accounts waiting for you to claim it.

Thankfully for us and our wallets, our government has done us right. Every U.S. state, including District of Columbia, has a website that allows you to search for your forgotten cabbage. We hope that you find forgotten money on one of these sites. We hope you cash the checks that the state sends. And we hope that you make it rain in our honor (see pic above).

Pete the Planner has even found over $700 in unclaimed money in the last 3 years. If you find money via this guide, please list the amount you found in the comment section below. We want to see how much we helped you fine. Make it rain!
