Funny, but if you think about it... if I had followed that exact principle for my entire life and never picked up $100 bills I saw lying on the street, I think I would be exactly as wealthy as I am now. Even if I never picked up street money at all, it would be pretty close. And I expect I have walked in plenty of places where money has been dropped, but the vast majority of the time, it has been picked up before I can get there. Add in the possibility of dropped money being booby-trapped, and I figure never picking up street money would be a very sensible habit.
