When I was growing up, my mom constantly told me interesting things about my Grandma on my dad’s side of the family. I was seriously impressed to learn things about her, because she grew up under hard circumstances in a rough time period. One of the things that my mom constantly told me was how hard my Grandma consistently worked, however she consistently had a job, even though that was not normal for the times. She received her own paycheck and she was smart enough to keep herself financially independent from my Grandpa by hiding some of her paycheck currency every week. My mom consistently told me these stories, however my friend and I never honestly knew where my Grandma hid her stash. Sadly, last year the time came for my Grandma to move into assisted residing; When my friend and I were relocating her, I finally solved the mystery of her cash hoarding; it was in the vents. My friend and I were carefully moving all of her belongings out of the condo when I realized that the indoor air temperature was suddenly climbing and growing quite stagnant in quality. I could barely breathe in this hot and humid air, so I went over to the outdated control component to see if I could get the outdated college air conditioning to kick into gear. I was playing with the control component dials however nothing was happening with the indoor air quality. I could hear the AC component running, so I decided to investigate the ductworks. When I held my hand up to the air vent, I realized that barely any air was coming through. I opened the air vent to see what the obstruction was, and found a big envelope with currency taped to the back of it. I found more than 2 more of these hidden throughout the air vents in the outdated house. My friend and I took all the cash and put it in an account for my Grandma, but now she can finally use that hard received currency.
