Whether or if this tale is real, it has gone viral online. It makes sense that so many people wanted to spread this funny and poignant tale; it seems like we need to be reminded more than ever that we can't take our money with us when we die.

This narrative centers on a contemporary Scrooge. He put a lot of effort into his career throughout his life and would only buy things that he needed to survive. He kept track of every cent in an effort to increase his savings. He even went so far as to tell his wife that he loved his money more than anything in the world and that he wanted to be buried with it.

Before he passed away, he said to his wife, “Listen up! When I die, I want you to put all of my hard-earned money into the casket with me before I’m buried. Wherever I end up in the afterlife, I want to take my money with me. ”

Being the considerate person that she was, his wife wanted to honor his desires. But she must have been upset when she heard her husband's most self-centered request. The man nonetheless forced his wife to make a promise to him that he would pass away with his money in hand.

The choice to comply with his wish after his passing was challenging on many levels. She found it difficult to accept that her husband was so self-centered, and she was now living on a fixed income. She undoubtedly could have helped herself and the people around her with his money. However, the commitment she made to her spouse weighed heavily on her. This intelligent woman devised a cunning scheme to appease everyone!

The crucial time has arrived. Will she follow her husband's instructions? The widow fulfilled her pledge while her best friend looked on in shock. The woman realized she couldn't continue to live with the shame of betraying her husband's trust. Just before her husband's body was removed, she clenched a shoebox tightly in her hands and placed it in the casket with him.

Her friend had seen enough and needed to know what decision was made. She said to the woman, “I hope didn’t put any money in there with that selfish man!”

The loyal widow smiled and responded, “Yes, I promised him I would. I’m a good Christian and I cannot tell a lie. I promised him that I would put that money in that casket with him.”

Horrified, the friend asked, “You actually put every cent of his money in the casket with him?”

“I sure did,” answered the widow. “I got it all together, put it into my account, and wrote him a check.”
