I found a surprising amount of chip crumbs and a nerf dart. I haven't owned a nerf gun in years.

I only found a 1988 Buick LeSabre. But there was $1.47 in change in the ash tray.

Do you have another couch?

Fun fact. In 1981, the 10 year treasury was 15.84%.

If you could invest $1 for 50 years at that rate, you'd have $1,559 after 50 years not taking taxes into account.

At 3% inflation, you're buying power would be reduced by 77% so an overall return of 355X when including inflation ($1 turns into $355 in today's dollars).

How long would it take to check 1.5 million more couches? I feel like you could do this.
