Do you store an emergency CASH at home?

[jEct2]

Not in your savings or checking account, the money that is immediately liquid.

Maybe in your safe box at home, in between book flaps, etc..

I just thought of this because I'm looking at five $100 bills right now from waitoring part-time for several weeks, too lazy to deposit it.

no

don't come robbing my house to check

if i had any $ in the house, it would get spent

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

I have this bridge I've been looking to sell to the right person...

Really? I think $$ on your checking account is easier to spend than in crisp $100 bills.

$$ on your checking acct = easily spent by shopping online.
Crisp $100 bills = I personally hate to break them, so it prevents me from doing impulsive buys.

 

[ghostman]

nope. the bank is along the way home.

 

[dug777]

nope.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Thinking of trying to break into my house, eh?

 

[Quasmo]

I have a seperate hard drive for my emergency cash.

 

[imported_Kensai]

Nope.

 

[Leper Messiah]

um. I think I have $17 dollars in cash. Still about $1500 in checking. I use my check card so much that I've gone through two in 7 months.

 

[tweakmm]

You mean a cash cache?

No.

 

[aircooled]

no. but i do have a penny jar

 

[AmdEmAll]

I have a change machine and a small safe with some cash in it. Not really for emergency though, just for whenever I need it.

 

[xSauronx]

[suse920]

QFT

 

[goodoptics]

yes, in a safe box

 

[clickynext]

Nothing other than the change in my wallet...

 

[Glavinsolo]

I havn't seen cash in who knows how long. I have direct deposit and 3 credit cards. I have auto bill pay and have the full balance owed directly withdrawn from my account. So I simply go to work, pay for things with my CC. And life is good.

Cash is like outdated and stuff.

 

[kranky]

Yes, buried in a nearby field. Paper money in a sealed glass jar so metal detectors won't pick it up.

 

[RedCOMET]

I have emergency cash in my car.

 

[RossMAN]

No.

I have 24/7 access to my bank and always have checks, credit card, debit card, ATM, wire transfer, etc.

your joking right?

 

[kranky]

Not joking. The lid is glass (it came from one of those candles with the tight-fitting glass lids and plastic O-ring around it), then I sealed it with RTV (like silicone). Money is in a ziplock bag inside.
