His finances may be manageable.
A Far Rockaway woman who accidentally left $12,000 in cash in a backpack on the Long Island RailRoad is happy after being reunited with the dough.
Juliet Barton boarded a train in Babylon on Monday with most of her savings stuffed into a backpack for “safekeeping” – and panicked when she realized she’d left it behind when she moved on before her final destination in Rockville Centre.
“That’s when I realized, ‘I don’t have my bag,'” Barton told Newsday.
He approached an LIRR employee, who told him to go to Penn Station, where he filled out paperwork about his missing item — then went home to pray.
“I haven’t told them about the money yet,” Barton said.
The next day he returned to Penn and revealed his secret to LIRR senior terminal manager John Persico.

“I said . . . ‘Did you know that I left $12,000 there?'” he said. “He looked at me so caring. Immediately, I felt the love — like, he’s going to help me now.”
A worker then came out and gave him his backpack, which had been found and handed over by the Babylon train conductor.
“Not one dollar was lost,” MTA chairman and chief executive Janno Lieber said during a press conference Thursday with Barton and transit workers who Lieber said “showed kindness and concern when dealing with passengers under such stress. situation.”
Barton called the transit workers who helped him track the cash “the best on Long Island.” PIX11
“I’m very grateful,” he said during an event at the MTA headquarters in Jamaica.
He called the transit workers who helped him track the cash “the best [on] Long Island. . . not because of the money, but because of what they do.”
