I certainly would take the $100 bill as well. I am more likely to make it to my savings account with that one. But then again, $100 buys a lot of yarn and a lot of cooking supplies. I agree, can I get a direct deposit with that?

I'm with Frugal Trenches! Tuck that $100 in my wallet and go to the bank. Revanche's last blog post..Nooo, stay good Wamu! Don't fail, stay good!

I’d take the $100 and take it straight to the bank!!

I’m like you. I’d take the $100 bill so I’d be less likely to spend it!!!

I am the same way, I like larger bills because I'm more reluctant to break them. I'm much more likely to hand over a five or one dollar bill! Jess's last blog post..Wednesday's Featured Mamas: Jennifer, Sarah and Winter from Punkymoms!

I think I'd go with the $100 too. I would think so much harder before breaking it. Those $5 just disappear out of my purse! FruGal's last blog post..Should homeowners be bailed out?

Well, if I told Kelly (and Paul) why I asked the question, it would take away the surprise. But, I will say to all of you that I love saving money and I have enjoyed…and incorporated some of your saving techniques into my little caches (cashes!). In fact, I recently started savings $5. But, that wasn’t enough. So, I started saving $10 in the same envelope. (I use the envelope technique…each one designated to a different budget…gardening…housekeeping, &c.) I managed to save $175 in the month of August and I was trying to figure out for what I was saving when I had to make a run to the neighborhood AppleStore. Et voila! I am now saving for a new computer. Because by the time I have enough money for a new laptop, my present one will be about 6 years old (which as we all know in computerland, is very, very old indeed). Anyway. You all don’t really want to hear from me. But I just want to say bravo to each and every one of you for being in control of your lives. That alone is worth the experience! And, I must say that I am an oh-so-proud mama of my very wonderful daughter who is doing a better and better blog all the time.

In good spirit,

yo’mama

When I read the note, my first impression was that she was asking you to choose between her or one of several forms of cash.

Personally, I would probably take the 5 $20 bills, as it strikes me as the best balance between convenience and a minimal amount of physical bills.

Given the way I read it, I assume you would choose your mom.

Regards,
Randy

Kelly,

I am like you and would have chosen the $100 and would have immediately taken it to the bank. I guess that means that I do not trust myself with the smaller bills either (LOL, I never thought about it that way)

It would be best if I could get it by direct deposit. If I touch it, I will spend on something I shouldn't! Dana's last blog post..Back from the Magical World of Disney
