If you had to come up with $5,000 cash by midnight tonight, could you do it?

Yes, if it was life or death, I could find 10 people to take out $500 from an ATM to support the cause.

any girl could do it easily if she is at least 7.5/10

as for me, it'd be a pain in the ass.

literally.

I assume most of us could due to cash we have saved up, etc. But, if you didn't have $5k easily available, what would you do to get $5k cash by midnight tonight (assume this is a life-or-death situation). Would you steal from someone you know? Would you try to rob some stores?

1. You assume wrong. Most people, esp here, do not have 5K readily available. Many dont have it available at ALL. Its called living paycheck to paycheck. Or being a college student.

2. I probably could not on a Sunday. I certainly keep no significant cash at home and ATMs have limits. ANd its 10:05pm.

Walmart's will cash checks up to I believe $10,000 total, amounts in excess of 5000 dollars have like an $18 charge (fuzzy on the details but I needed to cash like $8000 at a wal mart once like 2 years ago). Most of us could easily transfer money from our savings to out checking, write ourselves a check, and drive over to wal-mart and cash it.

I have 12K in my drawers now. Ever since the bank crisis, I leave some spare for just in case something weird happens in this country.

i have 20k in the bank..i can drive to a casino that I have a good relationship with 90 miles away and I will be able to withdraw the money but at a high cost.

So how often do you walk around with 12K in your panties? Now that's weird.

I don't think that even happens in the movies. I mean even the worst bad guy who wants truly wants to collect will give someone an hour or two during banking hours.

Interesting info. I checked the website and the cash limit seems to be $5000 but, still, suits the purposes of this question.

Since I've never tried this (perhaps you have) I'm not sure if there are store hours limits on when they would hand out the cash or whether a 24 hour store would in fact do it around the clock and on a Sunday.

So, all of you saying you couldn't raise the dough because of bank hours and ATM limits: possbly not true if you live within driving distance of a 24 hour Walmart.

Is this a great country or what.

I would probably rob a couple of stores, but first I would make sure I have a chopper close by.

Yeah, now that it is Monday.

Individual ATMs might have withdrawal limits (not all do). But there are definitely banks that allow you withdraw $5,000 from checking at once.

This thread was posted on Sunday so people were mostly addressing the situation where banks are closed.

You can withdraw up to $10,000 from a deposits account before the bank has to report it to the IRS (Bank Secrecy Act). Other than that, banks will set their own policies.

Wish they could help me i could really use it right about now :(

That's a lot of planting tulips at the truck stop.

I got several times in a safe. You may never know if you need it in case there is zombie apocalypse.
