Carnival of Money Stories #76

by Admin on January 27, 2019

Welcome to the 76th Carnival of Money Stories, a collection of the best money-related stories from around the interwebs this past week. I'd like to kick this week's edition off with a short money story of my own; and I will, because it's my blog and I can do whatever I want to.

The True Story of How I Almost Won a Million Bucks.

Almost.

Back in my college days I found myself with nothing to do one chilly autumn afternoon when the phone rang. It was my mother with a hot tip.

You may have heard of the Ricola Mystery Cougher Challenge; if you haven't, it really doesn't matter because I'm going to explain it to you. The Challenge: you hear a stranger cough, you offer said stranger a Ricola cough drop, you win a million dollars. Bam.

Mom heard on the radio that the Mystery Cougher would be near my campus at noon.

I would be there. Waiting…

Long story short, I was right next to the MC, I hesitated, the guy next to me didn't, I didn't win the million bucks.

The Moral of the Story: Work hard, save, invest, and always offer a stranger a cough drop (just in case).

The End

Now, if you are an avid carnival reader, you know that the host usually says something along the lines of, "There were so many good submissions this week, I had a hard time choosing my favorites!"

Well, there were so many good submissions this week, I had a hard time choosing my favorites. Good stuff everybody.
