Do you like keeping cash in hand instead of a bank?

[robreynolds1234]

Imagine keeping all the cash to yourself (doesn't have to be too much)...insteas of visiting banks every now and then...also you never know how banks can erase your wealth for some reason...

[r32gojirra]

The government erases your cash through inflation every single day genius

Bingo. Uncle Joe is coming for your wealth regardless of what form you try to keep it in, cash being among the worst options lol

Real estate and gold?

[robreynolds1234]

Each to their own, but I feel cash in hand is most power and easy access...

[wtfLandlord]

lol at not using a credit card

[1slo5oh]

I have $$ stashed a few different ways....

Bank
Credit Unions ( two different accounts )
Few racks in the safe for a rainy day
Gold (SRS)

And that's not everything

[N0rds]

Always cache the cash.



Put $50 of various bills in every vehicle (in case power outage and you need gas or whatever)

put $1500 in various bills hidden in your house in case of internet/power outage/nat disaster and you need to buy chit or escape the city.

I used to keep 200k but dropped it down to 50k. Never know what might happen. Went through a terrible flood back in 2016 and cash was king.

Why would you ever need that much during an emergency.

A grand max to buy gas and food for 1-2 states while escaping.



What'r'you, buying a fukkin house while the power is out and hurricane is still overhead???

No electricity for days, places that were open only took cash.

Like I said, you only need enough for gas to escape. $250 max.

Why would you need more than enough to buy a brand new car or even a house? Thats retarded to have hiding waiting to be burned/stolen/lost.

I would imagine some feel this way because in times of dire emergency......the price of essentials can basically be priced at whatever the person holding that good says its worth.
Thats why I carry some cash and ammo in the safe.

Escape where? I had to start rebuilding my house.

Fire safe crew, and no one wants to attempt to rob me unless they wanna become a ghost that day.

[OliverHeldens]

I literally only touch cash while going to the Barber, because they're cash only. Otherwise, I don't even carry physical credit cards anymore, only ApplePay

Escape? Escape what?

You watch too many movies.


When hurricane sandy left me without power for 2 weeks there was no escaping. Hotels everywhere were filled, my job was still open though very lenient about attendance, I had a dog and flooding/damaged house that I needed to take care of.

Every store was cash only for a while. Banks had stupid lines of people trying to use the atm for cash.

I was working at Costco at the time and people would show up and stand out front of the building and offer cash to anyone who was able to actually buy a generator before they sold out. Saw a dude sell the one he bought to another dude who was just waiting, he literally paid the dude double for it.


250 bucks to escape Lmfao.... You clearly have never been in a disaster. Brb my house is damaged and flooding, lemme just leave instead of get the pumps out

Are you one of those dumbfukcs who decided to stay during Katrina and "wait it out"?

And not fukking escape like most smart people....

Exactly bro, that chit was a hot ass mess. I paid Servpro 5k to gut, dry (dehumidify) and treat the studs. Right after that I was at the lumber yard buying drywall, mud, screws and primer. Had to keep the gas cans filled for the generator daily.

That made my mind up to invest in a whole home generator that runs off the homes natural gas supply. Can also connect external LP.

[freeburn]

Katrina and sandy were not the same


I was not at risk of dying. We didn't have an evacuate order. We had severe flooding and storms, and a metric ton of damage. If I left my house would have been totally flooded and destroyed. I stayed and pumped water out of the basement and saved my home and my belongings.


Again where would I escape to? No hotels in the area, no family in my state, friends are all in the same situation as me, no power.

Where am I going? Just driving aimlessly in a state where it takes 5 hours of waiting to get gas? Oh wait, we could only get gas on the days they called out license plate numbers, because the lines were so bad the gov had to step in and mandate our gas.

Again I don't expect you to understand if you haven't been through it. You can't just run away unless it's life or death. For me it wasn't life or death, but leaving would have absolutely ensured my home was lost or severely damaged.

Having cash on me just ensured I was able to get the things I needed and didn't have to sit in line at the atm for hours, just to go sit in the gas line for hours.

Yep. When me and my gf bought our house her dad gifted us with a whole house generator being installed. Could not have picked a better gift lmao

We all learned our lesson, never again lol


My buddy actually worked for Servpro at this time and they were so overloaded with Job requests it was nuts

[crupiea]

I have a bank account so I dont need to store cash at home.

I keep like 1k or so at home but if it gets over that i deposit some.

Natural disasters are not mad max scenarios. Understand the world is very much still functioning as normal. In the event of a power outage. Which can literally be from hurricanes, tornado, blizzards, rain/flooding, etc. Its best to have cash. You'll only be able to make purchases from stores/gas stations with cash.

Someone with a job like Redfish is likely staying home and will still be working in that kind of event. Same as me. I don't evacuate. I stay home and work lots of overtime and make ****loads of money.


A good natural disaster can 2x, 3x or even 4x your income for the year. Or depending on what kind of small business you own/how resourceful you are. Turn you into a multi millionaire. Any time there is mass devastation and destruction. There are about to be millions (if not hundreds of millions) of dollars floating around the local economy.


When there is mass devastation and despair. And the plebs are losing everything. Is the perfect time to capitalize. If you happen to have 50-100K on hand. It can also be very useful when people are panic selling stuff at very discounted prices because they are desperate for cash.

[Basedbaby]

I just spend it all as soon as I get it that’s the easiest way

[jimbob007]

Yes, 5k under the mattress, 3K under my armchair cushion & expensive jewelry lying around in unlocked drawers & letting in random people who claim to be from the water or gas companies. Very much a UK tradition for older people.

Why the fuk do you retards keep talking about mad max fantasies.


Jesus fukking christ, its not that difficult.

You don't need a quarter million fukking dollars to survive your mad maxx fantasies.



You only need some light cash to use while getting out of the disaster zone. Why you ***gots keep fantasizing about bugging in and spending tens of thousands of dollars to fight off zombies in your basement is retarded.





Good fukking lord.

[StainlesSon]

i do like cash and i keep a healthy stack always at home for emergencies and just simply having it there tranquillizes me

Good fukking lord.

The fact that you keep saying "get out" or "escape" shows you clearly aren't actually taking in anything you are reading.

We have clearly explained that it's a situation where you aren't leaving, you are staying.

What I'm talking about isn't a fantasy, it is exactly what happened to me in real life. First hand experience. Not a "what if" hypothetical situation.

YOU are talking about a fantasy because you haven't been through it and clearly don't understand what it's like to be in a disaster situation that you are not fleeing from... you are living in it and dealing with it. Stop thinking about escaping. Stop mentioning it. No one is escaping anything. That's the whole point of why we have the cash, so when power is down cash can be handed.



Why are you not understanding this? It's really simple. Do you think the entire north east coast just fled to to central USA when sandy hit? Lmao no, millions of us had to deal with loss of power and flooding and damage. The only people who actually were emergency evacuated and mandated by the state to do so were the shore towns.

You wouldn't have fled either, because there was no where to go. You could not find a hotel, you could not find gas, and there wasn't power in many areas. Many roads and highways were straight up closed. There was no "I only need enough money to escape". There was "I need enough money to survive for 2 weeks in a cash only society"

When hurricanes, wildfires, tsunamis, and other natural disasters hit, what does the government urge everyone to do?

Nobody is talking about mad max, bugging in, or zombies. Most natural disasters are relatively short lived. And do not include total devastation of your home/community.

If its something dangerous you leave. And as soon as its over you return & rebuild your home and community. Depending on what kind of resources/job you have. Sometimes you make a ****load of money in said disaster zone as its being rebuilt.






Hurricane Katrina paid for my college. And allowed me to chill for four years while I went to school. And I graduated with a ****load of cash still on hand. A few smaller storms not worth noting allowed me to put a juicy down-payment down to build a house and stack my portfolio. Covid 4xed my net worth and pushed my retirement up by years. Etc.


We get anymore 'big' and devastating storms hit Louisiana. I'm taking an early retirement from my job (only 37 now) Spending a year or two getting my hands on some of the government contracts and scooping up real estate. And I'm done working for life.



But go ahead and 'bug out' of the disaster zone and go live in a hotel.

They want everyone to leave. Then they dish out millions/hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding for people to come in and haul the rubble out. Repair infrastructure. Provide housing/food/supplies to workers and misplaced residents. Etc. When people are broke and desperate. They tend to sell luxury items and sometimes homes/properties for cheap. Especially if you have cash. The worse the disaster. The more opportunity in it. From buying stuff up from plebs to catching bits of the government contracts.


Good luck in your hotel.
