Question of the Day - 09/02/07

[Refugee]

What is the amount of the largest check you’ve ever held in your hands?

[agirl]

That I actually held in my hand was in the 60 thousands.

[Refugee]

The largest amount I ever held in my hands - over $500,000. It was a check for a fine my old employer had to pay to the County of Santa Barbara APCD.

I think it was a check from the realtor when we sold our house in Long Beach. It was for about $120,000. It wasn't in our hands for long because most of that went to pay down on the new house.

[acomplexkid]

I don't know, probably not very big.

back when I was working in a record store and we did Ticketmaster sales (cash only), I think it was after a Springsteen on sale that we had about $20,000 in cash in our hands. oh boy, did we want to roll around in that money!

[conmae]

I think over $700,000 -- I was a teller in a credit union

[Marion]

I used to do payroll for a law firm and some of those year-end attorney bonus's were $300,000+. It used to make me mad when they hem and haw'd over whether or not they would be able to give the employees their one weeks pay for a Christmas bonus when they were getting so much money. That was 11 years ago. I'm sure they are even greedier now.

[surfnburn]

Do electronic transfers count...lol I had several large checks in my hand a the beginning of summer when I refinanced my house. They all went to savings and to pay off bills. The largest was $17,000.

[asakitten]

$500.00 check from my work

[Pettyjunkie]

$10,500 ish, and it was mine. :D College money.

[AndreaM]

I wrote out a check to cover the full cost of my new Hyundai Tiburon, which was about $23,000; it came out of my home equity credit line. That was the first thing I bought with that, strictly for myself, before I started working on the house. That was when I actually realized that I DIDN'T WANT an expensive car. Just because I could've bought a $100,000 car doesn't mean I wanted to. I'm extremely happy with my Tib.:)

[LizzieB]

I have no idea. Nothing huge though.

[KansasPettyFan]

My 401k when I rolled it over and I'm not telling how much it was. :)
