💡 Did you know there's over $42 billion in unclaimed money sitting in U.S. state treasuries?
If you're a developer, freelancer, or digital nomad in the U.S., you might have forgotten paychecks, insurance refunds, or utility overpayments with your name on them — seriously.
🧠 Why Developers Might Be Missing Money
As devs, we often:
Work multiple short-term gigs
Switch addresses frequently
Get paid by companies that later close or relocate
Forget about small payouts, bank accounts, or refunds
All of these scenarios can lead to unclaimed assets being turned over to the state without your knowledge.
🔍 How I Found Out I Had $67 Just Sitting There
I recently came across a tool called Finderish, which helps you search public unclaimed money databases across the U.S.
All I had to do was:
Enter my name and ZIP code
Fill out a quick form
Check my results
That’s it. The site told me there was $67 from an old energy deposit I never got back. A few forms later, it was mine again.
🔗 Want to Try It?
It’s completely free to search, takes less than 2 minutes, and might surprise you.

🚀 Why I’m Sharing This on Dev.to
If you're here, you're probably a:
Freelance dev
Side hustler
Digital worker
Indie hacker
… and the kind of person most likely to miss money like this.
I figured if it helped me, it might help a few of you too.
🛡️ Is This Safe?
Yes — Finderish connects with official state databases. You're not giving sensitive banking info. Just enough to search for funds in your name. It’s like looking yourself up in the Yellow Pages — but instead of phone numbers, it's cash.
Final Thought
Don’t leave money on the table. We optimize everything else in tech — time, code, performance — why not optimize your own finances too?
