How much cash have you saved up at one time?

I am in the middle of the road right now... Making considerably more than my monthly expenses and deciding whether to keep piling up cash or pay off house and truck...

Very impressive for 17 my friend!!!

+1 Keep up the good work.


Have saved quite a bit from time to time.
Have a trading account I throw it in when economy is bad and watch it grow a lot very quickly. Now days I always keep at least 10k ready for those times which lately seem to occur every 4 or so years. Is an easy way to pay for a pool, land or new car and keep your initial investment for the next go around.

Enough that my wife doesn't blink when it comes to anything hunting or fishing related

Once you have 6 months to a year of living expenses set aside, pay off all that other stuff. We put our nose to the grindstone the last couple of years and got the vehicles done about a year ago and the house paid off in November. It's a great feeling.

Getting debt free before trying to save again. Seems every time I get some $$ stashed, a large bill surfaces - medical, dental, car repairs. However, I need for nothing. God is good - all the time.

Credit cards replaced my toy fund long ago. I just pay it off every month or two depending on the amount. If it's something truly expensive I have a way of talking myself out of it. Vehicles and property excluded.

Deckhand on what?

Probably a Towboat or harbor tug. I'm a port engineer for a Towboat operation and working as a deckhand makes great $$$ for a younger man. You just sacrifice a lot of time away from home.

Pay off your debt and then save some more...

I saved up 7k to buy my artic cat and paid cash. Saved up for a lot of other things but that was one that I remember most. finally reaching the point I could go pick one out!! It's a good feeling once you reach the goal your after!!! And not have to make payments!!!

Just signed the contract on a 30X40 shop with concrete slab. It's $22,500, and we're paying cash. We've wanted it since we bought our house in 1998, and before Dave Ramsey, couldn't possible see paying for it without borrowing money to do it.
