This was too fun to pass by...

Ok, this isn't my Chase receipt, but I did live in New York city on first avenue & have visited this bank.  I remember on a few occasions when someone would leave their Atm receipt I'd look at the balance. Is that weird? I was just curious....I wanted to know how well off or broke I was in comparison to the person ahead of me in line. 

However, this receipt came from one of my favorite blogs Carolyn . Anna and I have to say, from all my curious days peeking at receipts I never came across this amount! I think the highest was $95,000.  I don't think this guy is worrying much about the economy, or is he?  Ha! Happy Holidays.

  4. I have done this, only i feel really sneaky, and am sure i look sneaky sneaking it into my purse and taking a peek further down the road, only to be dissapointed not to find anything as interesting.

  5. Teehee, he/she probably had a lot more in the bank before the economic craziness! I've never looked at other peoples receipts before, but I have played "Who makes the most amount of money in this room?" It's fun to guess peoples jobs and salaries, especially at work functions :D Mr. Unreliable and I also have competitions as to who can find the most expensive item in a store...I always win because it's usually the piece I love the most :D

  9. I think my skin just turned a lovely shade of green with envy! How nice that would be to have that much in the bank!

    Oh, and yes, I've peeked at people's bank receipts too. Just curious! :P

  10. I've looked at a receipt before for the same reason!

    This is too funny. Although I have to wonder why this person has that much sitting around in a single checking account since it's not FDIC insured above like $250k.

  11. wow. wouldn't that be nice!!!!

  12. I guess they won't be in need of a bail out... p.s. they should seriously move there funds bc if Chase goes under it won't all be covered by the FDIC lol

    Seriously, it must feel good to take out money from that account..

    Amazing!

  20. What an odd amount to withdraw.

    I am confused.

    And amazed.

    I hope he/she is sharing.

  21. Dated 2/12, hmmm, making an expensive Valentine's Day purchase? :) That is still an insane amount. I must find this person!

  22. wishing that was mine right about now, hopefully the person has as much jpy as they do cash.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh wow, why can't that be my bank account?? I have to admit I've done the same in the past. And when people leave their receipts at the grocery store self-check out, I might take a peek. Oh gosh, I am far too nosy!

  24. how sweet it would be..

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, wow...wish that were my receipt! :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. WOW... I want that balance! i am curious... the banks only secure 100,000... so why would you have sooooooooo much in one bank....hmmmm... that must mean there is a lot more some where else... hmmmmmmmm

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have a feeling he did spread his money out in several accounts and this is a portion of that spread...haha!

  30. One of your more unusual, interesting posts. This guy must have had a large settlement or real estate transaction transpire and just had to see it on a recpt...of course he left it behind for the shock value...it's quite shocking..wow.

  31. Did you run after him?

    Just kidding :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Good lord! I'd so want to frame that and pretend it was mine. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I always look at discarded ATM receipts too!!! And I secretly feel better when I find one whose balance is lower than mine. Shh! ;)
