Are you asking if I could afford to spend $2K right now, or if I have $2K in cash on my person right in this moment, or something else?

Nope. And I probably never will... well, unless youre asking if I could buy something for 2K. Thats different.

Something breaks, you need it fixed immediately, but it costs $2000. Would you be able to afford that expense right at this moment?

Oh, okay. In that case, yeah. $2K wouldn't be much of a setback.

Actually, this just happened to me a few months ago. Had to replace my oil tank. Cost about $2K.

It really isn't. I only have one card and it's limit is $4500. I could get higher if I felt I needed it. But that's more than enough for me.

what broke that i have to fix it immediately?

car? i live 2 miles from work and .5 miles from a grocery store. i could manage w/o (and did for awhile while it was being fixed)

fridge? would buy a cheaper replacement

water heater? i would deal with cold showers for a bit (done that too)

I read it as:

If you had to come up with $2000 out of pocket right now, could you?

I saw it more as "If you turn out your pockets, could there be $2000?" and my immediate reaction would be "Who carries that much cash on them?"

A better worded title would be "If you had to pay $2000 out of pocket, could you?"

Though in this case, I could, but I'd do what Krazy_Kirby did.

I don't have a car, so I wouldn't need to make any major repairs to one, and if it was something like a household appliance, the most expensive one I can think of is a new washer or dryer, and they only cost around 400 if you want a good one.

Not sure how much it would cost if say, one of the ceilings caved in and we had to repair it, but looking online, the average price seems to be around 1000, but naturally the actual price would change based on how much damage there actually is.

I mean, I have 5 credit cards, 2 with 1500 and 3 with 400-600 respectively. I've never been able to get a card with more than 1500 for now. That's why it was shocking to me.

You have five credit cards, and you're surprised that companies don't trust you with more instant access cash?

Get rid of any cards you don't need (excluding the oldest) and manage your money properly then ask for a credit limit raise.
