How much do you have in savings? Including your savings account, retirement accounts, etc.

Under $5K

Same for us.

We had alot in our savings at one point, but when DH got out of the Navy in February and us having to get established here in Montana, it tapped all of our savings.
:( We are slowly trying to build it back up though.

A tiny bit over $5,000.

I did not include Mike's TSP. Not sure the standing of that at the moment!

Between 15,000-20,000. We try to pay ourselves first!

ETA: Guess I should have read the question better...I did not include retirement, bonds,CD's etc in my "vote". That is only cash in savings.

I put under 5K, but I forgot about TSP.
Just in our savings account we have less than 5K. We spent a lot updating the house we just bought, and all the added little expenses that occur when you buy a house. We're building back up though.

None right now. Some things have happened that we had to pretty much drain it. We hope that after the first of the year we'll be able to get back to it because we had $10,000+ not to long ago.

Bit under 10k. But most of that's going to school these next two years, and rent, and buying a car. So, I hardly think that counts. :sigh Ask me again in a few months and the number's gonna be a lot lower.

Right now we do not have any in savings because I wiped them out with buying the truck, but that will change when we get his bonus in the next check or two.
