Would you share the money or keep it all?

I guess I'm reminded of the saying, Finders keepers loosers weepers. Maybe she thought she didn't have to share it. Apparently she caused a riff, does she know she did with you?

I was once luck enough to pick up P200 (I live in the Philippines by the way) while out with friends at a mall. It could have been change that someone unlucky enough dropped. Since that wasn't really my money technically, my friends and I spent it on food. I can't recall what we had, but I do remember sharing the money. But if I were alone and spotted the money, I would buy something nice for myself. ^-^

Everytime I saw things even money, I make sure to return it to the owner if there are ways. But if none and it is money, i donate it to the church. I believe that we should not use nor spend money that is not ours.

I think that if I were to find this type of money I would take it to the police department and let the police figure out who's it is. I wouldn't feel right just keeping it especially since I wouldn't be sure if the person who lost it needed it or was well off.

I definitely would have shared the money. It was pretty rude of her to keep it all to herself, especially if you all saw it at the same time. How lucky to run across $100 just lying there! I don't have luck like that, so I'm sure I'll never have to worry about it!

Depends. if i were her,i guess i'd better offered to take everyone for ice cream or just bought something else. this is not about fair of unfair thing,but i couldn't keep it alone,that's no good.

i think i would share it caused everyone saw it so it would be unfair if i keep it to myself. but if they never see it then i would keep it or if i was happy i treat them some drinks :)

I think, I'd have been shared it by buying icecream or something else for all.

I would have shared it, that would have been the only right thing to do. I'm sorry your sister in law pocketed it :( Marsha

I would share the money with everyone.It is really good to share things with others.If everyone ask me to keep the money then i will keep it for myself.If there is a person in need of money i will give it to him.

I would have offered to take everyone out somewhere. I like your idea for going out for ice cream, that way she could have treated everyone and still would have been able to keep some of the money for herself. Since it was money she did not have before there is no reason why she could not have been more generous with the money especially since she was not the only one who saw it, and was just the one that scooped it up.

I think all of you were acting greedy. Everyone had their eyes on the $100 bill. Did any of youstop to think of the poor guy who had lost the bill? How would yo be feelig if yu had lost that $100 bill? I would not even dream of keeping that $100 bill. I woudl have given it away to charity for some poor people. Keeping it and using it for yourself is a in itself an unthinkable solution.

I would share it. It isn't as if she earned it - it just so happened that she got to it first.

If I was alone I would keep it then when I'd get home I would tell my boyfriend but would not share with him. But if I'm with other people then I would feel bad and share it with them not equally, but give them a fair amount. Like if i found $100 and we were in a group of 3 i would keep $70 and give each $15. That's fair to me! It's better then nothing! lol

The first thing that comes into my mind is that some person lost that money and so that is who it belonged to. Also $100 is not exactly a small amount of money for most people and can certainly buy a lot of things. I believe that the 2 options were that either the money was taken to the police station or it was given to a charity which helped the needy. The fact is that you were out as a group of people which means that you already had some money to spend, so why quibble over something that never belonged to any of you in the first place. In the past I have been in both situations. I have lost money because I put it in my pocket instead of my wallet and belive me, we did it tough for a week because of my own stupidity. I have also been out and found money and given it to the police. Similarly last year my partner and I were shopping in another town and someone put their shopping in the back of our vehicle. We discovered it when we got back home, contacted the police and reported it to them, went back to the town where we had "gained" this shopping and walked into stores trying to see if we could find out who they belonged to. After 3 months the police told us we could keep the presents etc as they had not been claimed. We planned to donate them to charity aftger Christmas as we were hoping the owners would turn up which is just what happened Christmas Eve. Christmas presents for an entire family ended up in our vehicle by mistake and each thought the other family had them. The pi=olice said it was up to us what we did and we gave them to their rightful owners. Fact is that these were not out things, just as this $100 did not belong to any of you.

I think I would of atleast used some of it to buy everyone something, even if I was needing the money and the others were quite well off.

If someone else said something first but I reached it first, I would probably give it to the one who spoke first. If we all saw it at once and I reached it first, I'd share with everyone. If I saw it first and reached it first, I'd pocket it.

I would have shared it or taken everyone out and paid for the outing

hi ladym33,i definitely offered something but not ice-cream cause i want my teeth away from doctor and infection, instead of that, i will offered MO:MO (meat item of food). happy day.

Shared. It's just selfish otherwise. I'd have called a friend and taken them out to eat, not just stuck it in my pocket.
