$100,000 Check: A Random Act of Kindness
Some times you can get really lucky and get a lot of money in your hands and this may not come in the form of winning the lottery or getting a big bonus at your work. A couple from Des Moines, Iowa, just got a blank check from a man who told them to fill in “for any amount they wanted” and he said that this is “a random act of kindness”.
I am still waiting for some kind person to give me a blank check. What do you do in this case? Do you get greedy and fill in the check for few millions or play it safe and write an amount for a few thousand dollars?
By the way, is it tax free or what?
