I was sitting here trying to remember what it was I heard, and then piepatch puts it in writing -- wherewithal. Thanks piepatch, I would have been trying to remember that term the better part of the day. Since I looked it up, it will become my "word of the day".

wherewithal —n: 1. the wherewithal necessary funds, resources, or equipment (for something or to do something): these people lack the wherewithal for a decent existence
