From what I've heard, Ex is still auctioneering but has moved to Florida. I ran the paperwork side of the business and did the manual labor (he's a triple amputee).

Ours lists 4659 people, and is considered all rural. I was amazed it was listed and we actually have that many people!

When my grandfather died, we found close to $6,000 dollars he tucked away at the very top and back of his kitchen cabinets.

I had an uncle who was a serious miser - didn't trust banks - made my aunt account for every single penny she spent their whole entire 60+yrs of married life. My aunt wanted to get a new mattress as their old one wasn't good for her aging, aching back. He told her she could get one, but he wasn't sleeping on it... he liked his old mattress just fine and dandy! At that point, they started sleeping in separate rooms and that was for the last 10 or so years of their marriage. When he passed away? She was going to toss his old, lumpy mattress out. Discovered over $300,000 stuffed in it!!!! She took that money, invested wisely and yet had fun (by taking a cruise here or there and traveling to Europe at least once), and never had to worry about money again the rest of her life! She lived until just shy of her 90th birthday....

Sounds like someone who knows how to spend money: what a find!
