Default How much cash do you keep at home?

I got a small check from doing some side work so I figured I'd cash it and add it to my stash of cash at my house. This is "emergency" money for situations where I need cash and can't write a check, run to the bank, etc... I might use it once every few years. Day to day I never use cash.

I have about $600 cash on hand. Curious what the norm is around here...

If I had a safe, I'd probably keep more. Mine is "hidden", but wouldn't be that hard to find if people had the time to go through my things.

I know several "Cash is King" people who keep a lot of cash on hand just in case they want to buy something immediately.

I also know "The end of the world is coming" people who think the banks and everything else will suddenly stop working and they'll need cash to survive.

The ATM will only let me get out 20,000 a day, so that's all usually

If that happens, cash won't be any good anyway. Best bet is beans and bullets!!!

I have a $2 bill, but I think it's worth much more than two dollars.

I keep a decent stash.

A couple years ago I had a tree split and it was close enough to the house that I was concerned.

Tree guy couldn't get to it for two weeks, until I said I had cash in hand.
They were there the next day.

Sweet. Now I've combined the answers in this thread with the one of the map where everyone lives. The only thing left to do is start a thread asking what time of day nobody is at home in your houses...

The only time I have a stash at home is when I win money like Super Bowl squares. I had $1200 after the Super Bowl this year but that's looooong gone.

It's an anonymous poll with only small amounts listed. You think someone is going to seek you out and rob you because you selected $2,500+?

Call me crazy, but if I've going to rob someone, I might follow home the guy with the new Corvette. Better not post any pictures of it online either!
