The way of life I grew up with is gone forever. I also dont like the direction we are going. Dont know enough about the mark of the beast but I do believe cashless society is coming, so is the microchip placed inside us, the government is already tracking our whereabouts, our privacy is GONE and I dont like it. I have heard these things are going to happen for years and thought those saying it were, well, a little off. Dont like the taste of crow.

N/P, lejardin. I'm sure that bank reported the transaction since I hadn't made any so large (or even close to it) before w/ them. Maybe my appearance gave the bank employee cause for concern - when I'm cleaned up , I've been told I look like a cop or undercover detective, but when I'm scraggly and dressed in sweats, etc., I've been told I look like a drug dealer. I'd prefer people think I was a preacher or porn star, but that's just me. grin

Yep, I have always thought that sometime in my l... [ More ]

Mike, Rc, etc., thanks for all the responses and information.

Very interesting an inquiry on your credit report over a paid back loan. Credit reporting, ugh that is another issue that is a total CROCK.

Looks like this is where the financial advisors would come in, they should know where to put large lums of money. For the privilege of (temporarily?) depositing your funds in their bank, let the bank manager deliver the cash. I have never been treated badly by any bank, am not and never bee... [ More ]

Must not be to big of a issue to take as much money as you want out of the bank. I see rappers show up at strip clubs with extremely large sums of cash just to make it rain.

You can handle your money any way you want to. When you voluntarily deposit it in the federal banking system you have to follow federal banking regulations. Those regulations restrict certain transactions on money market and savings accounts to 6 per month. If your bank really thinks the federal limit is 3 you might want to think about finding a bank that knows what the rules are.

Some banks offer interest bearing checking account, but with enough money to buy a small country, I doubt most people would keep the majority of their money in tiny interest bearing savings or checking account.

The basic issue at hand is the TYPE of account. If I understand correct back in the late 90's the government put these rules on savings accounts vs a checking account as to define the difference between the two. Right now with the SUPER low rates on savings accounts, to me doesn't make sense to have one. Just use a checking account and you should be all set. Also try contacting your credit union for more info they seem to want to take the time to explain things like this.

Based on the ticket sales for Saturday's drawing, there was only a 21% chance of somebody winning the jackpot. It's been almost a year when 91.5 million tickets were sold for one drawing; what jackpot amount do you believe will trigger a ticket buying frenzy

On the occasion that I have made more than 3 withdrawals or transfers out of my savings account within a 30 period, I have gotten a letter from the bank explaining that federal banking regulations limit such transactions to 3 per 30 days. When I investigated this on the bank's website, which took some hunting, I found the same explanation. Doesn't matter if I transfer via website, or atm, or teller.

It's not a problem for me usually. But there have been a few times that something unexpected c... [ More ]

I used to think that any single transaction (withdrawal or deposit) under $10k was safe but I recently read that multiple transactions in a year for $10k or more total from the same agent must be reported. Also, any suspicious activity (withdrawal or deposit) of $5k or more from someone who doesn't normally make those types of transactions can be reported. I believe in some cases the bank's reporting the activity to the govt. means they also have to notify the person doing the activity, but it c... [ More ]

is there any bank that doesnt have restrictions

Every bank that's not subject to US regulations.

Of course the restriction really isn't a problem for most people. The limit is actually six, not three, and applies to certain transactions and only applies to savings accounts and money market accounts. You can walk in and ask a teller for a withdrawal or use an ATM every day if you want to since those transactions aren't limited. Alternatively, you could keep enough in your checking account...

yeah it sucks. You went with ten ticks and you know you didn't pull it off even though you were hoping it might turn in to something worhwhile if not the jp. My pool at wrk did 8 ticks and we only got back 2 bucks.

lejardin — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 02:47:13 GMT

was wondering the same thing, is there any bank that doesnt have restrictions on how much you can take your own money out? These are issues that would need to be determined before putting the funds there. Fdic provides coverage of $250k lol. I know $5000 at a time was the threshold to withdraw and the bank has to notify the federal government. I believe this was due to the Patriot Act and money laundering. You will have had to paid taxes before you got your winnings so wouldnt think there would

You gotta do what's right for you. Can't understand why people get upset if a winner waits to cash in a jackpot. Not sure I could wait several months. I think I would wait about a month which would be long enough to get the professionals lined up.

Then again, I'm always thinking it might be better to just take the cash out of the bank and make my own secret bank vault. If you don't actually have it in your possession, you don't have control of it.

A side note: I have a checking account, an... [ More ]

Like they say, Two dollars and a dream !!! I have put in my two dollars and am just wondering what your dreams are ?

1. I will see if reality will let me wait a few months before cashing in the ticket. I will get professionals lined up. All my ducks in a row. The money will still be there. Will this anger some people ?

l attempted to follow the example of the recent Jackpot winner from NY by purchasing 10 tickets for last night's draw..have not checked them yet . One thing is for certain- l did not win the grand prize.

As for telling people to play - we have huge flashing billboards on the side of Highways/ Freeways/ Innerstates out here advertising the Jackpots.Enough said. .
