Can you come up with $10,000...right now?

[Rockefeller]

I just read a survey that says that only 1 out of 10 people can come up with $10,000 right now. This isn't including a loan or credit cards, just $10k in cold hard cash. Can you?

 

[Gerry]

I'd say yes but then every one would hit me up for a loan.

Got great investments that are paying off...virtual and "real" real estate.

I can....domain money...

 

[Gerry]

To be honest, I would have thought that the number would be much lower than that. We're talking 10%. Got a link to that survey? I would like to take a look at the demographics.

In my area, most people live from pay check to paycheck.

Sorry, you got less than $6500 DNF$$$ :lol:

If I give you mine we'll have 10K together. Do we win a prize???

Well, it was actually on TV...these were random people on the street walking by, just 1 out of 10 people.

It's funny, but I bet there are a lot of forum members with paypal balances over 10k...from domaining.


I also agree with Doc...that most people live paycheck to paycheck. I would have thought that number would be 1 in 1000.

That reminds me of something else, I also heard on TV recently that 70% of people in the US live paycheck to paycheck...hmmm.

Maybe not quite that steep but I would think perhaps 5% +/-. But, there are many affluent people in the country also.

Overall, the economy is doing poorly in some areas.

Wow, 10k noway that would take years to save..lol

[typeins]

Yep, always try and keep at least 50 Liquid

isn't the average income in the states something like 26k/year.

 

[tas38]

I could never come up with 10k, but ha being poor means if we go into a recession I'm good to go right.

lol, actually now it's Glock, Beretta, FH Herstal, Mossberg, Colt, & H&K

So you'll always have the means for "getting" 10,000 cash. May take more than one stop but all in a night's work.

I like Beretta. Have one 9mm about 30 years old now. Still sweet. Other than that, Ruger, Benelli, Savage, Stoeger, Thompson Arms.

 

[typeins]

lol you guys love your guns.

I cant even think of a single person i know locally who even has 1 gun!

 

[MobileDesigner]

Hold on. going to the bank when its closed. be back soon!

 

[Varchar]

It takes money to make money... I am sure many of you can liquidate your asset such as domains... many of you have over $10k of cash. Nowadays, nobody keeps money under their pillow or in a low interested paid saving account anymore...

Was this a nationwide survey? and what age groups did they target? Ask people in Bel Air or Beverly Hills and I'm sure you'll get a higher number vs asking people in downtown Los Angeles or Hicksville USA,

I think the middle class is way over extended, families earning near 150K a year and living pay check to pay check, buying homes they can barely afford + cars and other toys, not much is left when all is paid at the end of the month, I have many friends that are in this situation, they owe so much that they cant save. As for me, I never discuss what we earn or what we owe, because it usually causes problems, when ever we sell a domain for a large sum, we NEVER tell....I dont think its wise to flash it to your friends who are less fortunate.
