How broke are you? What is your checking account balance?

[XemaSab]

This can be totally anon if you like. :)

(And remember, this is checking and not savings or 401K or anything like that.)

1. no such thing as anon... n/t

[arcane1]

2. Other: I don't have a checking account

and I have $13 in my savings.

3. If it doesn't include other account types

Its not really indicative of how broke someone is.

4. This is true

I kept it to checking because a lot of people have tens of thousands in their retirement accounts, but they're not free to spend it, so "total wealth" would be misleading.

5. Virtually nothing, but I think I just landed a job today.

Just waiting for confirmation and more details. It'll be my first job in 2+ years, and it's actually in my field of expertise. :woohoo:

8. Congratulations!

I feel your pain, I haven't been "officially" employed in my field of expertise since January 1, 2009. Though technically I had a regular job for two months last year doing grunt temp work.

10. tridim - WOOT!!

Glad to hear you found a good job!! I know waiting can be hard, but the end is in sight.

7. Right now, about $100.

No savings account or 401k. Although this is deceptive, as I have more money coming to me, it's just not here yet. Plus I have some cash I need to deposit. So by tomorrow it should be around $400.

9. Virtually negative.

I have money in the bank, but it's already spent and then some.

It's great when your employer skips paying one month of expenses, then on top of that is late paying back the next one. :grr:

11. All of it to go for new doors next month (incl. garage)!

12. I get more interest on my checking than on savings, so all my liquid cash

This skews it way higher than it would normally be. When interest rates were more typical, I'd geneeally keep no more than $1000 or so in it.

But looks like the recent Census Bureau median tracks well with a DU population that largely scoffed at it so far.

13. Balance is higher then usual...

desperately saving for new car(old one is on last legs.)
