"Last Word"-The Great Cash Escape

SUZANNE PRATT: And finally tonight, a familiar story. You withdraw cash from an ATM but days later, the money is gone and you're not really sure where it went. A new survey by Visa U.S.A. says it's a common problem. Nearly half of the respondents cannot account for about a third of their cash in a typical week. Twenty percent confessed to misplacing more than $25 per week. Sixty two percent say small cash purchases make it difficult to track spending. So where does the money go? Paul, the common answers were groceries, a night on the town and family outings.

KANGAS: Solution to the problem, get receipts for everything and carry a second wallet to put them in.

PRATT: You know where my money goes. It's all at the bottom of my pocketbook.

KANGAS: There you go. Get a second pocketbook.
