What would you do if you found your SO's secret stash of thousands of dollars?

Question

While your SO is away on a business trip, you decide to be nice and clean the house while she's gone. While cleaning under the bed (which hasn't been cleaned in years), you find a glass jar with thousands of dollars in it. It's her secret stash.

What do you do? She comes home tomorrow.

Question the unquestioned assumption that we don't keep secrets from each other.
Then question why this stash would be considered a secret, if it is located where I can just blunder into finding it while looking for whatever it is I was looking for when I came across this money I didn't know iether of us had.
Then I would start to question the assumption that this money was kept hidden from me at all, since I found it without even knowing to look for it, and realize that a life like that, would have been kept hidden so that I would not have been able to find it, even if I suspected that it existed in the first place.
That would lead me to believe that maybe this was that romantic getaway dream vacation that we always fantasized together about taking one day if, iether of us had won the lottery and decided to take a couple of weeks off to do everything we wanted to do together, and realize that she wasn't just being frugal with all those coupon clippings and sales promotions in the Sunday circular, or the garage sale fashion accessories she had stocked her wardrobe and makeup set with, and her reluctance to waist money going out for dinner when we could enjoy each other's company hear at home, and her improved dietary choices and time spent on yoga and jogging, to fit into that revealing string bikini she had been wanting to try on at the beach...
"O. M. G!" 🤯👉 She actually plans on surprising me with that "🎉dream🌴🚢🥂vacation🎊!"
👉for💃💞🕺two👈 that we had always wanted to take together someday, if we were ever able to afford the money to go on, before we end up growing old and feeble together. 👴🥀👵⚰️❤️

I'd smile to know she was a saver. But nothing much really because it would take a lot more than just a few thousands to impress me. But I would commend her for saving. Big fortunes start as little fortunes👍. And if she wanted we could talk investing strategies anytime she wanted.

As long as it’s not an obscene amount, I’d leave it alone. People put cash aside just in case. But if it’s keys, passports, $ in different currencies and other important paperwork that seems too foreign to me… I’d wait for him to open up about it… but I will bring it up once the opportunity arises. Maybe he’s CIA 😂

I would wonder why they feel the need to keep it a secret. I would put it in the closet and tell them when they got home.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I would take it, place it in my safe deposit box, and wait for her to raise the question.

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Leave it there. It's her money, not mine.
I'm not greedy so, although I WISH I was a multi-millionaire, I really don't care that much about money. I'd probably be more prone to stealing records than money. (As in: if I found myself alone in an unguarded record warehouse where they had hundreds of copies of lots of different records, they wouldn't miss a few copies of this or that. If there was also a box full of money there, I doubt I would even touch it other than to MAYBE see how much is in it. I might even go so far as to hide it somewhere so nobody else could steal it and, somehow, alert those that owned it where it was. A trail of notes? A mysterious phone call from an unknown stranger?)

NathanDavis · Answer

I would call her the very moment I find it and ask... where's that jar and money have been before, because I am about to disinfect the hell out of it, lmao...

I really don't appreciate "strange foreign" objects or people coming into my place... lol

purplepoppy · Answer

I'd want to know why it wasn't in a bank and assume it was ill-gotten.

Phoenix98 · Answer

I mean if it's just money and it's not like a full on brief case full of stacks then I'd put it back and leave it alone. People have rainy day funds for all kinds of stuff.

Little_Bumblebee · Answer

Unless it seems sketchy like... there's a bunch of passports there as well or something, I would just put them back.

Blackcosmo · Answer

I would excitedly ask them about what they're saving for. I obviously wouldn't take any money lol.

qwert1234 · Answer

I leave it as I found it. It's her money...

RobT312 · Answer

We don’t hide anything, so I’d find it unusual. So I’d bring it up once she’s home!

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

I would look at it and think, “ZAaaaaaaa, n she has that PAPUUUUUURR. I’m talking that Paper Greens Paper Cash cash Chas greens paper greens cAAAAASSSSSHHHH”. And then I would put it back where I found it.

DizzyDesii · Answer

SaoirseS · Answer

Put it in the bank where it can draw interest.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

My money is her money, too - that's our agreement. I'll put that stash on the kitchen counter and ask questions once she's back.

Agape93 · Answer

Wonder if she went back to her old trades. But otherwise I don't care, it's her money

jamesgoldman · Answer

Tell her I found it and it's currently as found in my safe and when she's back I'll give it to her to put wherever... ideally not under the bed again

rabbitzzz · Answer

Aww poor SO. Saving money and stuff. I would ask about it when she come back.

lorenzomichael · Answer

I'd buy some beer, and then go out and buy her and I front row tickets to see Slipknot.

Juxtapose · Answer

I wouldn't say anything about it until she started asking me for my money.

captain_voidwalker · Answer

Count it and if it was bigger than my secret stash declare game on.

Nothing really. It's money, not a propane tank.
