Who all has a slush fund with $$ that they can grab in case of emergency.I'm not talking about credit card or checks but cash on hand in case the economy dumps and the banks stay closed.The amount isn't important but I think people should be prepared just in case.We let one of our kids keep ours at there house as they have a fire proof safe.Not much but it will buy groceries for a week or two.

You know the gub’ment uses a “slush fund” purely for paying off whores that officials use?

But mattress money is always a good idea

Yes

I keep several thousand bucks in one of my safes. Never know when you might need cash.

Some but not enough to do anything. I’m of the mind if the banks are said and done paper money isn’t worth the stock it’s printed on.

If SHTF cash will be king the first week or so, so if you have it definitely spend it early and spend it all. Then I also stack precious metals for after the paper money is worthless.

I have 50 female pigs and 50 male deer.
Add them together and you have a hundred sows and bucks.

Of course we have stashed cash, be foolish not to.

Maybe...

Yes, keep enough cash on hand to get out of a jam or just in case I need to make a cash purchase. I hate having to run to the bank to withdrawal cash.

If the [censored] really hit the fan the only thing that is gonna matter is bullets and bartering items such as fuel, food or tools;cash, gold or any other metal is gonna be useless.

Yes, but it’s unfortunate. I used to consider it my fun money put aside for questionable decisions. Now it has a bit more serious meaning. Not sure how much is there, it get a few dollars added regularly.

Several banks have went bankrupt in the last few months. Everyone should keep a months worth of living expenses very handy, IMO.

I keep at least a years worth on hand, but won’t mean [censored] if we get Venezuela’d. Gotta have other forms of trade currency too. Perspective value is one hell of a thing after monetary value has dissolved

Bingo

My slush fund is my reloading bench.

Gold has literally been the “gold standard” for thousands of years. I doubt if SHTF gold would just be useless. Gold will be just as valuable as it was to the ancients.

My main reason for having 10-20 stacks on hand at any time was I had a girlfriend that was crazy enough to need bond money at night to get her out. Those days are over but I still like having a chunk of cash on hand. I’ve scored several nice items because other folks had to wait until they could get to a bank for cash.

Yes you have to have rainy day money.. I also have made some great buy's having cash on hand.

2 weeks of cash for grocery is a slush fund?

Most would call that pocket money

I had a "friend" decades ago get put in Dallas County jail for drugs or possesion, I was able to bail her out directly at Lew Sterret, didn't need a bails bonds man they had a window at Lew Sterret where you paid like 10% cash if I remember correctly

Does most jails still have this as an option? I thought it was great since I didn't have to deal with any bailsbonds people, just dealt with the City of Dallas directly.

I keep enoigh ln my person at all times to buy a small slush at Sonic.

Absolutely, I always have a stack of Ben Frank’s ready for emergencies (or deals) just in case. *(Not a one-upper post)

Before retirement in my job we got reimbursed for mileage and expenses, I always stashed this money for vacations, going to dinner, gun buying etc. I never really counted it just stuffed it, then one day sat down and counted it. I about fell out of my chair as to how much I had. It was good knowing I had a cash stash.

Sonic has the best slush fund

so lets say society goes into panic and U.S legal tender suddenly becomes worthless. You need something I have like rope, diesel or ammo. How do you think I'm going to respond if you say "hey, let me shave you off a little of this gold bar here"? Its only value is what someone else is willing to trade for it. Oh, by the way, better bring your scales with you as well.....

Spend it quickly may not be a bad idea, and buy items that you can barter with. If the bottom drops we will see a cashless society happen quick. Some stores are already card only, cash will be worthless soon anyway.
I even tried to buy a new car with cash, they acted like they didn't know what to do with it. They said a transfer for $$$ was just as good as cash for $$$.
I have always wondered how gold and silver will do.
I keep cash for opportunity purchases.
