How much do you keep in your checking account?

[skeetsinternal]

I try to keep about $800-1000. I ask because I got embarassed last night in Walgreens trying to buy something and my card got declined. It turned out that a check I deposited didn't clear until today, must have been the holiday. I keep this amount for cash withdrawals, quick grocery items etc., or even just to earn cashback on purchases. I was told you should keep less, is this true?

20-350 when I start my career this probably will change.

everytime I want to buy something I transfer it over via phone...

If someone steals my card, I'm good.

I have two accounts: one for bills and one for personal.

We keep around 2K in the bills account and a little more in the personal account.

I keep enough in there to pay for my car loan and insurance. Also direct deposit goes right in that account.

I have two accounts: one for bills and one for personal.

We keep around 2K in the bills account and a little more in the personal account.

Same here as far as the 2 accounts but for the bills one, I keep the exact amount for the bills and I have a set amount for spending as well. Anything over that amount goes to my savings or I put towards debt.

A month and a half worth of my living expenses.
