At the time, yeah - I paid in cash.  Financial aid wouldn&#x27;t free up my money unless I paid my Business Office balance.  Business Office claimed I owed $200 from the summer and wouldn&#x27;t clear my balance until I paid that and the tuition ($734 if I remember correctly).  So I walked $934 to the business office (Business Office had the odd policy that they didn&#x27;t take checks with numbers under 2000 and I didn&#x27;t write a lot of checks).  Took receipt over to the finance office which got my damn financial aid freed up.  The Business Office  &quot;discovered my payment&quot; which lead to me getting cash and heading back to the bank.<p>Friend bought a $15,000 truck in cash.  We were a bit vigilant about that one.  Rural US still has a lot of cash and handshakes.<p>We do not have free bank to bank transfers and are ornery enough to not want to pay the damn fee.
