I'm on a quest to raise an additional $10k this year in income -- extra income outside my regular job. The numbers I ran show that making this amount and socking it away year after year can yield quite a sizeable next egg.
I've written several times about how there's "lost" money out there that's owed to millions of people. There are billions of dollars in abandoned retirement accounts, insurance policies, bank accounts and the like -- simply sitting in the government's hands, waiting to be found by their rightful owner. For more details on this issue, see these posts:
Following the advice in these posts, I had a couple readers find money that was owed to them -- one found almost $300.
Even if it's "only" $300, that's $300 the reader didn't have before. And who knows -- you or I may have $500, $1,000 or more waiting for us. Time to check it out (by following the steps noted in the posts above.)
i would like to know if any one owes me money. thank you.

I was hoping this article was about getting money from people that owe you money due to a contract or court judgement but have chosen to stiff you even with a contract and / or court order in place.
Can you expound on those circumstances? A little help please?

I just checked and I had $475 owed to me! Thank you so much for this post or I would never have known to look.

I think someone owes me money. I had an RRSP (like a 401k) at a Canadian employer many years ago. It was managed by a big fund company. When I switched jobs I simply forgot about that account. It's probably been accumulating interest since 1997 and I don't even know it. I'd like to repatriate those funds back into my current retirement accounts.
Unfortunately your system doesn't seem to show anything in Canada.
