Have people ever heard of banks?!?!???!?!??!
Okay this is in Israel so probably yes. A woman by the name of Anat bought her mother a new mattress. Unknowingly, she threw out her mother's old mattress that contained money inside close to a million American dollars inside.
First of all, who would keep a million dollars in a mattress? This isn't the mob. She happens to be somewhat close to the Cayman Islands. Honestly, it's the mother's own fault for not telling her daughter. It's also her fault for not putting it in the bank. Yeah it sucks that she might have lost close to a million dollars but she should only blame herself.

There are many older citizens that do NOT believe in banks. They do not have credit cards, or debit cards, and they may not even have bank accounts because they handle everything in cash. They have never had credit problems. Many seniors do not know how to use a computer, much less arrange for automatic payments for their bills. You probably grew up with computers. They existed when you were born. Many seniors have to be convinced to use technology to simplify their lives. A lack of communication is to blame in this instance. Verbal communication is the most important method of preserving all that is important to us. Most people blame others for everything that happens to them. The daughter should not feel guilty for doing something genuinely considerate for her mother.
