The other day at work, I found a wallet in the parking lot with over $350 inside. Being somewhat poor, I was tempted to swipe some, but I resisted and found the wallets rightful owner. There was no reward other than the satisfaction of doing the right thing, but ive been told that karma will come around to find me eventually. Are there any anons with stories to share about good karma finding them? On the other hand, stories of bad karma catching up to you are also welcome

i don't think karma actually is decided in the moment, i think your life is more or less karmically judged before you are even born. 
just remember to go by the universes laws and everything will be ok

I think karma doesn't really determine individual good and bad things. As in, you give money to charity/poor/religious organization/etc, you get more money back later.

I think a better analogy is it's more like a cosmic weight or scale that gets tipped in one way or the other by the sum of all your actions in totality. If you look at the elites even though some of their charitable and philanthropic work could be malevolent or money laundering, etc, the fact is they still do contribute quite a lot of legitimate charitable work into the world. But why? For some, there might be a few legitimately good ones, but in my opinion it's likely to try to shift their karmic weight towards the positive to make up for very evil things they do. Even if they're not a blood drinking cabal, to make millions and billions of dollars you will be exploiting people, ruining lives, stealing stuff, threatening people, etc. 

Why do average people have bad karma and bad events befall them, and the elite seemingly get away scot free and never suffer calamity that they can't bounce back from? I think perhaps the problem is the average person just has very little power in general to affect good or bad, so any bad actions they do, however minor, even things like eating meat, affect their karmic weight more because they have no ability to generate massive amounts of good karma to offset their bad karma. 

Lastly, I think where a person ends up eternally is up to God, a person likely can be a Satanist and generate good karma for their earthly life, but still eternally be separated from God. By this, there's Christian saints that were kings and commanded stuff that would be heinous in today's terms, but they're still saints for their relationship with God and the good they did accomplish.
