I found a bunch of "unexpected" money last week. First, I had forgotten all about the cash back on our credit cards. Over 20 months I accumulated $281 and my wife accumulated $221 in cash back, I cashed out $450. Our cash back is 2% on groceries and gas and 1% on everything else. That's a lot of stuff we put on our credit cards.

Then I got a check for last year's overpaid escrow of $370, and lastly my SEV value of my house was adjusted down 17% (ok, so I don't know if that's a good thing), meaning my property taxes will be 17% lower, or about $700 lower. Now if only I can get my tax refund.
