I think you could get a better idea if there were more lower denominations and less big ones. Something like 0-2500, 2501-5000, 5001-10000 and so on.

And yea, somehow I doubt there are that many with the largest denomination.

according to WIKI (and we know thats real accurate) The average family in the U.S has about 1000.00 in their savings.

I was going to laugh and say that's crap but looking at the poll maybe it's not far off.

And yea, somehow I doubt there are that many with the largest denomination.

I don't doubt it at all. Someone who's been working 25-30 years should have $50K or more tucked away (yes there are old people here).

 

[JoeMac]

I suppose that's true, but the op stated money that you can get today. Shouldn't most of that be in accounts that limit withdraw? I also went back and looked at the poll again and the highest denomination is only 50K, for some reason the first time I saw it I thought it was higher.

Yes you're correct. Money you can withdraw today. There's a rule of thumb about how much cash you should have to live for so many months. I don't remember what it is but I know I'm good for over 3 years. verachiever:

Man I am so broke..... if it costs a nickle to crap, I'd have to throw up everyday.

 

[CrashTest]

I keep enough to live on for about 8 months. I think any more is unwise since NFCU is now paying a whopping 0.40% on savings.

$74,677.19

not bad.

Did it work?

I like him more now!

 

[Sonsie]

We keep around $50K in savings, we like to have access to a chunk of cash in case of emergencies. I'm trying not to even look at our investments these days with how the market has been lately

Will you marry me?

I just got my NFCU dividend so I think I'm up to about twelve cents.

I have interest phobia, so I keep enough in savings to pay for anything major that might happen - new roof, car goes kerflooey, whatever. Every extra penny I have goes into paying off my mortgage (that interest phobia thing).
