What
is the largest amount of cash you ever had with you at one time while away from your
house? Why did you carry so much with you?Hmm. Probably 200 dollars. I only had it with me becuse I've
never had an issue with carrying a lot of money; and I infinitely prefer to use money
over, say, checks or credit cards.

Maybe about $200 US dollars. I'm far from
wealthy and that's not a large ammount for going on a trip. Especially when you consider
that it was probably when I went to Florida and I went to Disney World down there, which
is what, about a hundred bucks now?
Keri-Jade, 21
Brampton, Ontario CANADA
$1000 in traveler's checks because I was
traveling to Europe

$1700 . My fiance told me to...he used it
for a new acct.
Stephanie, 25
TX USA
I had about $550 cash in my pocket a
week or so ago. I do everything with cash so on the weeks that my paycheck, my tips, and
my child support are in my wallet I walk around pretty
nervously until I can squirrel it away at home.
Maggie, 22
Sandwich, IL
USA
About $500. Someone paid me for something in
cash and I took it straight to the bank.

I don't really know what the most was. There
have been a few times (when I was traveling or whatever) when I had a few hundred dollars
spread over my person, but those are rare instances. Usually I'm lucky if I have $20 on
me.
Karen, 22
Ames, IA
USA
I went to Florida for spring break last
year, but I was on a very tight budget. I took what I needed for the trip, no frills or
thrills, and stowed my bank card far away from sight (but kept it in case of emergencies).
I only took about $200--that paid for gas, food, and so on, since housing was already
covered.
Emily
NYC, NY USA
I think once I had $600 with me when my
husband and I were on vacation. Eventually, we put $200 in a suitcase, he carried $200,
and I carried $200.
Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA
I think around $200. I had it with
me when I was traveling.
Eric, 19
Beverly Hills, CA USA
Probably 200 dollars and because I had to
buy my school books with it.
Angela, 18
Bella Vista, AR USA
$10,000 we borrowed it from a relative to
purchase our house. It was in a brown Mickey Mouse lunch bag.
Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
A little over $800. I was making a
cross-country trip and had traveler's checks and credit cards too, still nothing speaks as
loudly as hard cash while sight-seeing and traveling. Ya just never know when you'll need
it ... like in some off the wall tourist trap down in New Mexico where they neither speak
English nor use electricity!!
Fisch, 46
Preston, CT
USA
About $600 that went to a travel agent.
Katie2, 19
Ann Arbor, MI
USA
I carried $750 dollars with me and I
was bringing it to pay for a car
Kyle, 16
OH USA
$850. I was away on a summer study program
in Spain.
Jillian, 18
Indianapolis, IN USA
About $1800 cash. I had the monthly rent for
7 people to deposit into my checking account since none of my glorious housemates had any
sort of bank relationship. I was living in NYC at the time and it did make me feel a bit
self conscious to have so much cash on my person.
Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
I was on business and carried a couple
thousand with me a few times. I didn't have a reliable bank account yet, so carrying the
cash was my only viable option. I had to travel from city to city installing computer
networks, so it made it difficult to manage money.
Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS USA
when I was seventeen i ran away from home to
new york city for a few days and brought about $1,000 with me just in case. I probably
spent about half of it. The runner-up to that experience was also when I was seventeen (I
must have been a busy girl)and got my last two tattoos - I had about $380 on me at the
time.
Maria, 21
Bennington, VT USA
I had about $3000 with me one time,
because I had just cashed both my paycheck and tax
refund check. Stupid of me, I know. Not something I do on a regular basis.
Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV
USA
I had about $500 in cash when I went to Rome
a few years ago. I'm planning a mission trip to Brazil later this year and I expect to
have several thousand dollars on hand for that. I plan to put some of it in travellers
checks and will put the rest in the safe at the host organization
Laura, 37
Lowell, MA
USA
I carry little cash. Usually under twenty
dollars. I use my debit card for shopping, gas or groceries.
Laney
TX USA
6000 I was buying a car.
Nicole2, 20
Jackson, FL
USA
I rarely carry more than $50 in cash. Three
cheers for credit and debit cards!
Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
i always
carry a lot of cash. usually $200 or $250 on payday and by the end of the week i'm
carrying a normal ammount again. c'mon punk. you gonna take my money? you're scared aren't
you. I thought so.
A-Dog, 19
McMinnville, OR USA
The largest amount of money would
have been $5400.00 thats cause I had just cashed my c.d
out and I was planning on spending the money.
Christina
MI USA
I just
got back from a missions trip to Ireland where I had over 3000 Euro. I was leading a team
of nineteen students and leaders. The money covered transportation, food, housing, and any
emergency that could come up.
Ryan, 28
Riedlingen GERMANY
A few thousand (wasn't mine to count). I was
working security.
