How much cash can you legally possess?

Question

In america

Answer 1

as much as you can legally earn! though if you're accumulating alot of extra cash, it'd be smart to put it to work in some sort of investment vehicle, so you accumulate more of it! also, if you have cash sitting around and lose some, you have no recourse, other than to go out and earn it again!

Answer 2

There is no law about how much cash you can have. There are laws about taking it outside the U.S.

Answer 3

There are limitations of the amounts of cash you may bring into the country as well as take out. Consult with the Immigration people who monitor this sort of activity.

Answer 4

Since you qualify the question "In America", I assume you live in a place where there's some question.

Here in the US, there are no limits on possession of cash.  It's not terribly smart to have a lot laying around, but nobody from the government will show up and take any of it away just because one has a lot.

Answer 5

As much as your comfortable carrying!
