$4,000 to pick up my Firebird. My last car I had a check for 23,000.

If you ever get a check from a title company, cash it as fast as you can. They are notorious for going "whoops" and trying to stop the check before it gets paid (beating you to the bank).
What was the question agian? |
|
Probably $1k or so in cash.
But I sure made the cashier at the bank give me the ol' bug-eyes look when I walked in at 9am one day and said "I would like a cashier's check for $25,000." I sorta expected her to say "talk to our loan department, kid". I was 23, and getting the check for my house downpayment two hours before settlement. She was very nice to me once she drew up my account and saw I actually had the money in my account. If the title company would have accepted cash, I would've shown up with a large briefcase full of bills and made a day of it. Kharn |

cash, $1200.
Cut a check for a little over $30k to buy my car. |
|
40K After a settlement.
I got fooked but it was nice having 40k for a while! |
|
Well pretty soon, the most I've held in my hands will be $1400...
And I'll spend it all finishing my HK53... I just sold my gun on the EE! |

One Million Iraqi denars in my safe right now. Here's hoping for sucsess in Iraq.

In cold hard CASH . . . .
One million eighty thousand dollars ! ! ! ( $1,080,000.00 ) It was the last week of December, 1999. Had to "move money" to several of our branches, in case there was a "run on cash" -- was none ! ! Me and one other employee loaded it in my SUV for the trip. Carried a folding-stock AK, a M-9 and a BUNCH of mags ! ! Was quite the road trip . . . . . |

no beamz on dat gat tho! I'm amazed at how much cash some of you guys have at one time. Unless you are counting a debit card or a cashiers check or something as cash I think it is a bad practice. I usually don't have more than $100 in my wallet and in smaller bills than you guys ($10s/$20s). Do some of you guys work in a cash only type business or something? I've maybe had a grad total of 2 differnt $100 bills in my possession throught my life, it just isn't a useful enough denomination to deal in. |

Beat me to it. When I was in college, I worked for Brinks, and then years later for Purolator. So I can say for sure the answer to the question is easily into the millions. |
|
|
I took all that to the gun show today but since I couldn't find anywhere to park within a five mile radius, I just went home. When I can find a parking place at the fun show, I find $100 to be a very useful denomination when I see something I want there. Good thing I make my own jerky |

Cash rules when buying expensive stuff. I can get discounts using cash that my checkbook won't touch, and if using plastic you are losing 3-4% to some stupid company that you could be saving and putting towards the sales tax.
20k or so is about what I recall. I had closed on selling my place and had some small debts to go around and pay off and then I was off to the fun store and AIM for some ammo. |
|
Once I had about $60,000.00 in cash inside my safe. It looked so cool.
|
|
Cash in hand, $3,500. A few hours after depositing that, I wrote a check for $9,000 just before signing the contracts to buy my new car.
|
|
I bought my car with $10,200... though, at that point, only $4000ish of it was my money. The rest was my parent's.
I finally finished paying it off last year. I haven't driven it in 9 months. |

I understand your comment, but there are other things to consider. I used to work construction. I got into the habit of carrying $2-300+ in cash on me, because I never knew where I was going, when I'd get a chance to eat [if someone would drive off with my cooler], or if I'd be sent in search of a tool we just had to have. [What's that? We need a 6" trash pump and a generator to run it? Right now? I'm on it.] Somewhat before that, I worked for a shady attorney. When he actually paid me, I'd get 2-3 weeks worth at a time. Due to the nature of his practice and personal habits, I had to cash the check ASAP in order to keep it from bouncing. Finally, your comment about hundreds not being a useful denomination. I disagree. Many people just get stupid at the sight of a $100 bill or two, moreso than the actual sum of money would dictate. Bargaining for something? Nothing works like cash. Lay out the money on the table, physically. Let that car salesman see a pile of fifty/hundred dollar bills accumulate. Many people just lose all judgement at the sight of a few hundred in cash. Best. -Ben P.S. Probably $2900 of my own. Carried a in the high 5 digits of other's money. |

the most in cash was $80000.00, however i just issued a company purchase order for 2.6 mil.
spectr out |

$55,000 in an ammo can. Worked in S-1 and we did a draw from disbursing about once a month during GW1. Then we drove around about a week running down the entire Batallion and paying everone infuckingdividually

How much does it weigh? About 2.2 lbs per 1,000 notes, so 100,000 in 100's weight 22 lbs, a million weights about 220 lbs.

Three Grand, I once had 500 one dollar bills from winning an office dollar pool, that felt like more than the 3 G's.

Help unload two pallets in Iraq something like $22 million on each pallet. I took $3 million to city hall for local police and city government employees.
All we could do to not roll around in it. Sorry no pics, they would let us. ETA: also held a box we found in the alley in DC turns out it was stolen from a parking garage had about $74,000 in it. Personal money, $126,000 cashed a check for the sale of a house....redeposited it the next day to pay for another house. |

If this is a SHTF fund, I'd convert to smaller bills. I did. |
|

Only 19 so not too much, I have 6k in cash saved up Sorta nice to have a fat wallet.
Friends dad used to carry 15k in cash on him daily. He owns his own buisness and this was cash money that was payed to him so his wife never knew how much he had in his pocket... After a few weeks it built up... Ahh I miss those days, he bought all our meals and drinks 7 days a week all day long . Whats better then going to nice resturants and the boss footing the bill for his entire crew every night |
|
All the Dreamers saying they had 20billion on pallets/etc does not constitute it in your hands.
Nobody on earth can lift a pallet loaded with 20 billion of anything on it. |
|
11.5 million
I was moving it and it wasn't mine. That fits in 7 duffel bags for those that are interested. |
|
I stood on Planet Earth one time and its worth like elevnty billion
|
|
That must have been one HOT Stripper. |
|
|
$22,000 to buy a car, actually it was the down payment. We had to finance the rest. |
|
Couple grand.
I don't like cash...it can go 'poof' a lot easier than electrons (reguardless of what some luddites say). |
|
About $7500, which was MINE and that I made in ONE DAY gambling with options during the dotcom bubble.
|
|
About $180k (coin and currency collection), unless we're talking about modern currencies, in which case it's probably only about $1500.
