Almost 50 years old.
$20 in wallet for emergency.
Never use debit cards.
Use credit cards and pay off each month.
Keep less than 10k in checking for monthly bills.
Have about $15,000 in cash in a safe at home for emergency.

Good deal. Remember, managing money comes in second to being disciplined with your money. Without the discipline you have little use of the management of money.

Early-mid 20's. I always have at least $100 on me. Another $800-$1,000 at the house. Usually the checking account ranges from 2-3K and everything else goes into investments/ savings. I have a lot of my expenses linked to my credit card, so that bill is normally around 2,300, which is why the checking has that much.

Little or no cash on me. Usually around $10,000 in checking and $15,000 in savings. The rest goes into investments whether it be land, stocks, etc.
I have a separate savings that we use for saving for vacations. I think it has $11,000 in it right now. I'm 42 and my wife is 36.

I don't keep enough actual cash around, need to work on that.
We keep around 7-8k in our checking which covers all bills, house, etc plus a little extra in case of emergency

I travel a good bit on weekends during football season, so I try to keep a few hundred in my wallet. I bank draft most of my bills and house note, so I generally keep about $3500 in checking. I have my paycheck direct deposited into checking, so when it gets a little high, I transfer anything over $3500 into savings or money market.

$5000-$10000
Some of you people obviously don't have kids.

Early 30s. $1k in checking. A lot more in savings. Don't use cash or debit card. Use 2 credit cards and pay off every month.
Posted on 10/2/17 at 7:10 pm to FieldMink
And what do you all do with a savings account? I'd like to know what people have immediate access to in both checking and savings.
Posted on 10/2/17 at 8:02 pm to FieldMink
20K checking
About 5k in gold in my home safe and around 5k cash

I have no idea what I have
My wife handles all home finance transactions
We sit down about once a year and I tell her what I would like to get done in the near future. She makes it happen.
I get money every Mondayfrom the ATM, I keep some cash in my gun safe. Don't carry much cash really. I use work cc for anything I think I can get away with with the IRS
