If you've ever worried about your ability to be fiscally responsible, you're not going to worry about it much after hearing the story of Sean Weatherspoon and his recent move.
The linebacker is headed back to Atlanta to join the Falcons again after a stint with the Cardinals and while he was getting ready to move he found one of his 17 game checks.
My gal just found a game check, I guess moving does have its perks ha

The good news is he found the game check, which, as pointed out by Fox Sports, is roughly $138,000.
The bad news is Weatherspoon didn't know where one of his checks was! He only gets 17! They are a LOT of money!!
His excuse is actually one for those of us who freewheel it a bit with financials will understand.
@nwilborn19 bro they gave me one hard copy all season... Everything else was direct deposit lol #blessed

I mean, there's no way that you can do a mobile deposit with a check for $100,000 or more. And the bank is just sooooooo far away.
Stuffing the check in a drawer and forgetting about it is at least slightly more efficient than cashing it and putting a hundred thousand dollars under your mattress, although at least you can always spend cash. Forget about a check and you might be in trouble.
