The perception of old has changed a lot in the last few decades. This new generation has a lot more grandparents that survive well into their 80s or even 90s more than previous generations. 70 is rapidly looking younger and younger as public health improves, smoking especially.
Morally you should return the money. But legally when you buy a home you buy it as is. If there’s any belongings in the house at time of sale they belong to you.
Morally it may be wrong but legally your allowed to take it because anything that’s left in the house once brought is yours so just keep it if you want to keep it
Technically he has the right to keep the money under law. It might be different per state but generally speaking if you bought a house and you found valuables in it. You usually can keep it with little to no trouble. Because it's the fault of the previous owners for not fully clearing out the property when they sold it. So when you buy a property anything found within the property is yours.
@anthonyg4052 I understand that. In short I wouldn't give the money back. My reason for it is that they got plenty before and after they sold the home. $6,000 is going to seem more than likely nothing. Now of course I can be wrong, but with the information given that's about how I feel ethically.
@@aktube9084varies from state to state. In states like California, Texas, Nevada and Florida they’d probably be ok, but a state like Arizona might have the previous owners in the right to the cash
tbf in this situation i’d run under the assumption it wasn’t even theirs to begin with, and if it was and you’re dumb enough to hide money and forget about it that’s on you, if i somehow found out and remembered i hid like 200k somewhere and someone else had spent it i wouldn’t be mad it would’ve been my fault
@@thefinessekid7358 Good job it isn't theft then eh, it's the property of the person who buys the house. And yes I can generalise an entire generation, there is a broad consensus that the boomers as re the most selfish generation in history, and have left their children and grandchildren worse off.
give it back and get their connections. if your reputation is known for doing the right thing even when doing something not as good is easy and there is no consequence, people are more willing to trust you as a person. money is simply trust on paper.
The issue I see with this is 1. When did the previous owners buy and/or inherit the house? 2. When year is printed on the bills? Until you do this, how can you have any chance of knowing if it's even their money?
Legally speaking in most states, anything found within a house that’s been purchased now belongs to the buyer of that property. It’s a finders keepers rule. Which sounds kinda messed up but this is up to him what he wants to do….
Here's what I do with it out of a few years go by and no one says a thing go ahead and use if they ask say you had no idea it was there you can still deny amd keep the money
I’d imagine they weren’t the ones who put that money up there. And if they did who’d forget putting 6k in attic…like cmon. I’m the type to do the right thing always but there’s a lot to it that could’ve taken place and people lie so much nowadays that if you told them they’d probably say it’s theirs. So I feel like it’s just worth keeping atp. And it’s their house now and whatever is left behind becomes the new owners property legally.
What is the actual law on this? Like, when you purchased the home, did you purchase its contents? As long as the house was as described and you feel that the former owners were honest sellers, the right thing to do is to see if it can be returned, so long as you can confirm it actually belongs to the people you bought the house from.
Logic falls that you bought the house and that came with the house, just like if they had a floor safe or anything of that manner hidden in the house and they forgot about it, that becomes your property after the final signing of the contract. I understand the treat others how you would like to be treated, but say you go to a goodwill and find $100 bill in a purse or wallet old jacket you bought for $25? Would you take the $100 bill back?
4 outcomes. 1. You keep it, and they forget about it 2. You keep it, and they sue you for theft 3. You give it back, and you get nothing 4. You give it back, and they let you have some or all of it
Whoever needs it more. If you’re gonna take it and blow it all give it back if you need to pay off your car or get ahead on rent or mortgage payments take it.
Attempt to give it back. If they are well off financially they probably won’t take it back and will let u keep it especially if u just got done buying that house they might say something on the lines of treating it like a discount but maybe they will want it back
If I were the well off seller and there were no other extenuating circumstances, if the buyer brought me $6000 I'd forgotten I would be so impressed I'd tell buyers to keep it as a carpet allowance.
It's just 7k, I mean, it's a decent chunk of change but it's not life-changing money. I'd say offer to give it back and if you're lucky, they appreciate your honesty and let you keep some of it. In any case, it gives you peace of mind.
In this situation you call them and tell them you found cash, but to verify, ask them how much they had stashed. You don’t know whose it is and they could lie and take it. If they say 2k they could be lying, but if the guy said “idk something like 5700-6000.” Then it’s probably legit.
Great content, as always! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
he can keep it bc its his house and he got it so its like his own money now if you buy a mine and find diamonds you keep it bc its your mine same thing with a house
Pretty sure you can keep it. Anything left behind in a home after it's sold now belongs to the new owners. Couches, fridges, teddy bears, cash. Might be wrong tho
Thats under the assumption, that they also have good ethics. They could also think „that is normal behavior, as it’s their money” and they don’t owe u anything.
@@Tommy-hq1yz hm maybe I worded it weirdly (english is not my first language). In the end I get what you mean, but this only works if the elderly couple feel like they now owe you a favor. They could also be rude and think of it as something “the new owner should have done anyways”. Do you know what I mean?
@@Tommy-hq1yzwhat don’t you understand? They mean that theres no reason to assume the elders would view it as owing you a favour, because it was their right to the money and so you should have returned it anyway
Nah. They sold the house with the money in it. They have no legal obligation to give the money back. Sellers probably made hundreds of thousands from selling the house. They'll be fine. If they really needed the money they would've remembered. Who forgets about $6,000 in the attic? Rich people
@DonJohnson-qr1lk He also said they're financially good, that's probably why they forgot 6k. Still it's just 6k if he doesn't have a special need for it then it's good that he tries, at the end who gives a fu** bro i wouldn't give it back if it was me 🤣
bro is looking for any ounce of validation to not feel guilty taking that money 😂
Yea 😂
i would take the money
Bro said 70 isnt elderly 😂 They are SENIOR CITIZENS
He was being a gentleman by not calling them old

@@wildcatdan5072i think people also usually refer to elderly as people who are old and in ill health as well. Its not always purely an age thing

Idk about that one. Its the previous owners responsibility to clear out the house. They didtn do the work needed so itse theri fault.
Bro just said 70’s ain’t elderly
He wants to keep it lol id still give it back he’ll get good karma in return
1000% he made it obvious by saying “they are pretty well off financially” 🤣🤣
our generation needs that money more lol these boomers are too comfy while we’re out here struggling
@@cannabi0that’s our own fault most of the time😅
He expected Dave tell him to keep the money 😂
@cannabi0 so as long as I need something more than somebody else I can steal it?

Any other person, wouldn't have given it a second. Good to see good people still exist.
If it was me I'd tell them i found some cash but not where. If they didn't know where it was imma keep it 🤣
F that. Boomers wouldn't do the same and got an enormous free lunch on the property value.
Real
Completely agree. Sensible man you are.
Finally, someone sane in the comment section.
Theft is theft. How about you stop feeling sorry for yourself and do the right thing. You cannot generalize an entire generation

I'd just thank God for the generous gift!
Keep it.....right where you found it. If no one came looking within a year, you're probably good.
You bought the house, they left the money, that is now your money. Simple as that.
give it back and get their connections. if your reputation is known for doing the right thing even when doing something not as good is easy and there is no consequence, people are more willing to trust you as a person. money is simply trust on paper.
If he didn't want to keep it he wouldn't have called and ask for advice.
1. Following the law is good.
2. The law states that money is his.
3. Giving it back would break the law.
these guys know their shi😂
They forgot because they didn’t need. It is the logic that I would use.
Legally the money is his. When you buy a house you buy all left inside.
The issue I see with this is 1. When did the previous owners buy and/or inherit the house?
2. When year is printed on the bills?
Until you do this, how can you have any chance of knowing if it's even their money?
If you have cash to hide in your ceiling and completely forget about, then ain’t like you’re gonna notice it’s missing
Legally speaking in most states, anything found within a house that’s been purchased now belongs to the buyer of that property. It’s a finders keepers rule. Which sounds kinda messed up but this is up to him what he wants to do….
thought he was gonna say something much less than 6000 LMAOOO
To be fair to the geezer he bought the house and everything in it
Here's what I do with it out of a few years go by and no one says a thing go ahead and use if they ask say you had no idea it was there you can still deny amd keep the money
Legally the money is theirs and he would be liable if he took it
He’s spent it already
The only thing you ask yourself is if you have the ask the question you know the answer!😊
Legally if you buy a house any belongings left in a from the previous owner. Ownership is now transferred to the new homeowner
I’d imagine they weren’t the ones who put that money up there. And if they did who’d forget putting 6k in attic…like cmon.

Moneys hard to come by now. And they basically sold it to you anyways😂
If you gave it back they'll probably offer a reward. Everyone wins even if you decline it.
It's my money now.

They wouldn’t be able to sue for theft because it was left in the house when it was sold so it now becomes property of the new owner
You bought the house, that money is yours lmao
Whoever needs it more. If you’re gonna take it and blow it all give it back if you need to pay off your car or get ahead on rent or mortgage payments take it.
You bought the house so whatever is in it is yours. That's what i say, yes if I left money in the house i just sold I'd expect the same. That's my bad
70s? According to Congress you’re just getting started😂
Why would you give it back! They wouldn’t do the same for you always look out for yourself
Someone was hiding money from his wife or vice versa lol
Why ask when he definitely doesn't want to give it back😅
I would hold onto it for a year. That way if they don’t come back and ask for it then I would keep it.
They would probably let him keep it but he should at least tell them about it.
The rule area finder’s keeper
Take that money, never speak of it again
Id 100 percent keep it bc i bought the house and all its contents. They left it, its their fault tbh.

Morally, if they forgot it was there, they're not missing it.
"I wouldnt say elderly their only in their 70s" bro where are you? Congress?
By law that money is his
I’m reminded of Walter White taking Bogdans first dollar 👌

Came with the house
You want me to give back the tiles too?
