Cash wise if you had to?

We are having a very slow day in the showroom and have been having a chat with one of the other Salesmen who has just sold his own car for £6k he informed us that with the sale and his other savings he now has about £10k at his disposal tucked away in the bank.

It prompted someone to ask me if push come to shove how much cash could I raise if needed?

My response £3.5k max without going into debt.....

So over to you if you had to do a runner now how much could you raise to slip off into the sunset with?

That's a legitimate question as it would probably make a big difference to my instant sun set cash raising ability.

I think it is insensitive to start a thread that deliberately precludes Nolar.

I could probably scrape together about $75 right now, but seeing as I'm on a ship 100 miles from land I think that is doing pretty good. hehe

At home it is scary how little cash I could actually get my hands on. frown

I guess if it came down to it about 11k, That's if I sould everything apart from the clothes on my back and raided all my savings - If I killed the folks and got the inheritence that would be a differnt story silly

Hopefully! 95% of wages go on it at the moment, so a very boring life for a 19 year old hehe
