To Spend or not to Spend ..

To Spend or not to Spend .. That is the question!! As I read the headlines on my homepage (Yahoo!) I read an interesting article about a man/couple who had applied for a $10,000 overdraft. My gosh who would need an overdraft in that amount?? Unless you write a lot of cheques in the thousands. Obviously they were approved by the bank it was approved with a few too many zeros.

If I were to do a poll about this I'm guessing fifty percent of the people would be honest and would tell the bank. The other half of course would be out of control by greed, get all excited and flee the country as the couple did.

If the money was in your bank account and knowing that it doesn't really belong to you, how do you think you would handle the situation?? Would you spend it? After all, it is your bank account.

The laws are different in various countries and I would love to hear from anyone in the legal field or anyone's thoughts in general.
