Yes, the headline was correct, I am asking you to check your drawers. You may find that there is a financial breakthrough waiting for you there.

If you are like me then you probably take things at face value. However, this past weekend I became a believer in the hype surrounding info-commercials and windshield post it notes.

To my point, this past weekend I decided to take a friend up on his offer to buy or trade in my gold for cash. I assumed it was just a fancy way of getting me into their store to buy more stuff that I simply did not need. I looked in my drawers and jewelry box to see what I had and discovered that I really did not have that much (I stopped wearing jewelry many years ago). I gathered up what I had which was barely enough to fill up half a sandwich bag. To my surprise that small bag of abandoned jewelry had a cash value of about $900 and a trade in value of $1100. I was shocked! I asked him if he was just doing this because I was a friend he indicated that price of gold is up and so is the trade in value.

Needless to say I took him up on his offer and walked away with a nice chunk of change in my pockets.

If you are in need of a small financial breakthrough then you may need to check your drawers. This could be the answer to you have been looking for.
