Well, more like almost $5000.
Long story short, husband and I sold two junk cars for $750 cash and then we got a check from our mortgage company saying that there was a huge overage in our escrow account. Before I deposit that check, though, I'm confirming with our mortgage company that the overage actually existed and we're not going to be in a shortage problem when real property taxes and insurance come due.
But if all of a sudden you find yourself with a windfall of unexpected funds, what would you do?
