I was sort of being serious about $1.48. I have one $1.00 bill, and a handful of change. I don't keep cash on hand anymore. I used to keep $500-$1000 in my wallet and front pocket, but I have done that since the late 90s.

I have a checkbook, a couple of credit cards, and a debit card. Everybody here takes my checks. If I need to get fast cash and can't get to the bank, there are are a couple of stores here that I can and have written checks out to cash, for between $500-$1000 and they'll cash them. I have a couple of individuals that I am friends with that will do the same for me.

Any drastic emergency that would require me to have a lot of cash on hand that cash on hand would actually be usable would be a slowly developing thing.

Just about the only thing that would be so fast and drastic as to preclude me from getting my hands on my money would be a nuclear attack. If that's the case, cash won't matter.

Perfect timing: I just walked in from the bank, got a concrete guy coming Monday, cash only. So, on my person I have $8200, and in my stash I have around $600.

No, I'm not saying where I live

You are in hurricane country.  Standing in line at the bank trying to get cash before leaving town is a giant waste of precious time.

Every place worth living has potential natural hazards.  Earthquake, fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, riots.  Also, if you have Ready Cash you can make some really good deals: "Sure, I'll give you $500 for that mint Python!"

At the moment? $1k or so at home. Another $5k if I go to the bank.

If I used credit card advances and open lines of credit? Maybe $25k.

If I sold my PM I have on hand, including stashes? That’s another $5k or so.

If I liquidated my retirement accounts? $150k, maybe.

All told, within a week, if I didn’t care about the wisdom of the act and needed cash RFN, I could probably lay hands on $200k.

I always keep a 100 dollar bill in my wallet along with 40-60 in cash. The 100 is not used unless for some reason my credit card is shut off due to identity theft/ fraud. It’s happened a couple times. I’ve never lost any money on it though. The credit card company catches it and shuts off my card.

Actually this...

As in what I could reach in my pocket and grab. Carry around "too much" cash and the TBL will seize it and you can spend more money to get it back. Wouldn't put everything in the bank either for reasons, but careful how much folding money you carry 'cause TBL.

I agree.  I don't carry more than about $100 normally, unless I'm on a trip or going to spend it soon.  But I keep a stash in the safe, just because.

I've never had to leave.

On top of that, hurricanes are slow, 2 week long events in general. It's not like they just pop up on the coast line out of nowhere. You have a couple of weeks to get ready, every single time. I'm 150 miles inland anyway. But, even if I live on the coast, I would still have a couple of weeks to prepare. It's not a cash emergency.

Even if I were to have to evacuate, I still have debit and credit cards and checks. My bank isn't going to shut down. There are branches all over the state.

Also, who stands in line? There's ATMs out there.

And like I said, I can make a phone call and get a check cashed if I need it.

Wrong. Local emergencies/disturbances can happen at anytime BUT be contained to your small local. The power of the dollar would still be very real but you won't be able to purchase anything while you're stuck in the jackpot.

Need gas to unass the area but credit is down? Got cash?

Need food or water? A part or supply to batten down the hatches on your home? A ticket for a ride the fuck out of there?

Cash on hand is a small insurance policy against certain unlikely circumstances, but the only excuse for not having it is being dumb or a poor.
