I always carry $10,000 in cash with me. I think it feels good. People say I'm crazy? Anyone else like to carry wads of cash just for the heck of it? When I buy something I will use my 1% cash back card though.

Is 10,000 a significant amount of money to you?

How often do you make purchases that eclipse that 10k mark?

If it was lost/you got robbed how how hurt would you be?

Have you ever thought that maybe you like to carry around this amount of money due to feelings of inadequacy or narcissism?

Living creatures depend on calories to survive. Having the means to acquire those calories reduces stress just like having your kitchen stocked up with food. With $10,000 you can acquire food and shelter for the foreseeable future.

Ie: like a small pennis....lol

Well I guess you could pay a small ransom if one day you are kidnapped, so yeah sounds logical

Ill fight u headup for the cash. give u 10:1 i beat the **** out of you and take it ... ill leave ua hundo to buy medical supplies cuz im graceful and charming

You what mate

Where do u live?

nothing wrong with it

I am also curious about this, OP leave name, address, and times you are in dark areas away from people in a PM, thanks

I know asians in mah jong parlours or casino's love carrying a galore of rolled up bills just to look important!

To me, having one local currency note of the biggest denomination in my purse more than suffices to feel rich (and a bit afraid of a robbery, so I usually carry only as much money as I know I'll need on the trip - and mind that I never use cards to pay in 'offline' shops as I'm too lazy to fund them in ATMs ), a few such notes lie at a secret place at home, but most of them - in banks and e-wallets

Carrying a bank statement is a slightly better idea than carrying cash, btw. Robbers might overlook that piece of paper and won't be able to grab your cash straight away, though they might learn how much you have and start haunting you...

At least your aware that carrying large amounts of cash can result in robbery unlike OP here.

This all fits in my pocket:

Yeah I have my broker account to stare at but its not the same as flipping through the crisp bills. I work and I play for money, I like to hold it.

Good for you OP

I don't know if you are crazy, but it seems pretty stupid to carry that much money around. And it seems even more stupid to tell anyone about it.

And if you aren't even going to use it ...... (I use my cards too btw; always pay them off immediately so no interest, but no reason I can't get the 1% to 5% cash back.)

Don't see why you need $10K cash in your pocket. Seriously, I've carried a few K on a couple occasions and my wallet has bulged. On some occasions I've split it up among different pockets and at times put some in a bag I was carrying, so if I got robbed maybe they wouldn't get all of it. I've only done that times that I needed a bunch of cash.


Carrying $10K all the time when you never plan on using any of it is obviously stupid.



Couldn't the kidnappers just take the money? The point of a ransom is a trade, right? If the kidnappers already have the money ....

Stop please. No one thinks this is cool. This thread is more about you parading wads of cash than it is your curiosity about others habits with their cash.

^ Sorry that was a bit harsh.

I think it's pretty clear that carrying that much cash is a bad idea. You say it makes you feel good - I'd be examining the root of that if I were you.

I am not bragging, I am showing 1 unit of cash, and showing it is not much different than a deck of cards, pretty discreet imo. I will humbly admit that I cannot compete with the big guys (yet):

How is holding 1 unit different than the guy driving around in a Ferrari or wearing the 15k rolex gold watch or blinged out jewelry?

We must have some NL2000 players around. Carrying 10k seems almost mandatory unless you establish some casino credit line, which to me seems like a really bad idea.

I listen to too much rap music and also I think videos like this are funny as hell:

That's if they search him when they take him though right? We have no inclination that OP does not tie his wad to his slong at this point...

Whenever I kidnap someone the first thing I do is check the shlong.

1 unit of cash?

Exactly how much $ is 1 unit of cash to you? I'd bet that it is enough that you shouldn't be doing this.

I'm not rich and I'm not poor. Either a Ferrari or a Rolex would be a significant expense to me (a ferrarri is actually an unobtainable and stupid expense) A Rolex I could get and is less stupid, but I still have no need for it and can invest money elsewhere for a better return.

I felt you were somewhat within the same socioeconomic group as I am familiar with. Maybe I am wrong.


Whether you are that super rich or not I would suggest you re-examine your policy of carrying around $10K+ wherever you go.

It can get you into trouble.

Wow! A picture of hundred-dollar bills. Where do you get those? Have your really seen that many all at once? You must be a gazillionaire.
