144,000 euros !

finix

Story time. So I went to get some cash-money from an ATM Yesterday, The receipt from the previous user was still in the machine. Curious, I looked at the amount of money in this persons account: 144,000. I felt inadequate.

So my comrades, what would you do if your account had this much money in it. Spend it? What on? I assume he has his gaff, car sorted out WTF ?:eek:

I'd leave receipts in ATMs everywhere to make people feel inadequate.

Think of the envy from the person behind you who only saw you putting the receipt down not knowing it wasn't yours.

Hi finix,

How much money did that person got from the machine according to the receipt?

joe swanson

And to think they don't get charged by the bank because they have so much money whilst most of us peasants do for the privilege.

40 euro ! Miserable git

The Backwards Man

I remember a guy proving he had 313,000 euro in a betfair account once.

My only thought was you stupid bastard, why not even put it in a seven day notice account at least.

Reassure yourself that the person in front of you was financially illiterate for having €144k in a current account. That or so rich it doesn't matter. Or they just sold their house.

€750 max is the daily limit. Wish it was higher myself, a few times on weekends I needed more cash than that at very short notice.

€600 with AIB (unless that's recently changed?)

Maybe he only got paid the night before and hadn't transfered the money yet

Maybe you can explain your unfathomable comment. How is that begrudgery? If you read the comment correctly you will see its a dig at the inequitable banking system in this country, not at how much money an individual has.

Give me my receipt back please

its not an extraordinary amount of money to have.

I don't bank with banks that charge silly fees. PTSB is €750 per day.

Look the guy could have millions. It could be just pocket change been in a current account might make no difference to him.

Most likely a business account.

You don't have a laser/debit card for a business account do you ?

If I had 144,000 euro in my current account I would go home and sit on the couch with a big smile on my face.

Then I'd realise that it should be in a savings account, but I'd be too lazy to do anything about it right away. So I'd wait until the next day, then go to the bank and transfer it to a savings account.

Then I'd go back home, make a cup of coffee, and sit back down on the couch with a big smile on my face.

I'd probably put on some Storage Wars or something, switch on the laptop and come read boards for a while, occasionally turning to gaze out the window and watch the world go by whilst I grinned with a sense of self satisfaction.

kneemos

If he'sself employed he may need the cashflow for wages,vat returns,purchases etc.

I used to keep about 30k in my current account until my bank manager basically told me I was throwing away money.

The other person's money is worth something to the bank. Having a couple of hundred is the really.

Cee-Jay-Cee

If the person had 144k in a no interest current account can you imagine what they possibly have in other savings and property?

I have no money so never need to use an ATM and so will never find myself in a similar situation.

Are you sure that there aren't the letters "DR" after the amount?
Typical Tiger cub! :pac:

I wouldn't think it's unheard of, considering the way banks are steering customers away from using cheques.

I would say it would suit a lot of companies to have cards as long as cash flow allows.

144,000 reads as pretty healthy cash flow to me.

Maybe it's an inheritance from a loved one who passed away and the person is the loneliest person in the world. €40 is to buy 2 bottles of vodka to drink away the blues?

Suppose he's lucky he hasn't descovered coke and hookers yet. That inheritance wouldn't last pissing time!

With KBC,for 144k a year,you would get €1954 interest.

This person may as well be starting their fire with €37 every week.

First thing i thought is 144,000 is such an unusual number that you were maybe taking the piss. It is the number of days in a Baktun or great age in Mayan astrological terms. It is the number of the sealed in the Book of Revelations..ie those who will definitely be 'raptured' for harp lessons. It is the number of the descendants of Jacob. It is the number of souls that will be saved according to the Jehovah's Witnesses (although that many at least have called to my door so i don't know what they will do with their surplus). It is also the number who will be saved according to Mormons, Raelists, and the Church of the Subgenius. It is also an important number in Islam. Etc etc...So yeah, fun number...

You really need to disinfect everyone after doing this; cream soda in one's ass-crack is a haven for bacteria!

No. It doesn't. Have a think, it buys a crap boat, or a crap house, or a deeply average horse.. it's buttons, tbh. About a months worth of income at best for an average weeny business.

This is one of the best meta posts in quite a while.
