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.

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.

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.

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.
