I feel naked without some sort of wad

[slapshot]

depends on what day it is

 

[tanner12oz]

Extremely rare for me unless I'm heading to or from the casino

 

[Albatross]

I try to always pay with cash.

 

[SECplayer]

Scary either way.

I know a guy that keeps over 2 million cash in his home in fire proof safes because he doesn't believe in banks/stock market etc.. Robbery or some crazy natural disaster and he goes from a multi millionaire to broke instantly

You sound very gullible.

You sound very gullible.

Who's gullible? you don't think people have cash like that? I personally know at least 3 or 4 people that have over a million in cash sitting at their home. It's not that uncommon at all if you know wealthy individuals that own cash rich businesses. When taking in 40-75k in cash every weekend at your small company it ain't that hard.

have seen this guys cash many times with my own two eyes

he has so much that he has to use shrink wrap that people use to keep food fresh to make it fit. He showed me how he had to do it once.

I've tried to explain to him many times about how inflation is actually losing him money but he doesn't care. does not trust the system at all.

Yep, you know multiple people that keep multi millions of dollars in cash at their home. Because everyone that keeps that kind of cash at home makes sure and tells everyone else about it. Sharp.

they don't tell everyone about it and I never said it was sharp. But of course friends and those involved in the business are aware of it. I think it's foolish and dangerous for his family to be doing that. I was just sharing the story, I don't agree with him. someone will murder your entire family without blinking an eye for that kind of money.

 

[Greenbacks]

I`m not on this list.....I like carrying and paying cash for lots of things.

 

[Greenbacks]

3 or 4 who have a million cash stashed in their homes.....I call B.S. on that.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Lol JC never fails to deliver .

I try to always pay with cash.

You ever find that it's becoming more and more difficult to pay cash?

 

[cloverleaf]

I use a credit card that pays me back for all purchases MOST of the time.

Always keep $3 dollars in my wallet. Always, at least the past 10 years.

 

[Greenbacks]

I can see someone knowing 1 person who has 1 million cash stashed in the basement.....But 3 or 4????.....Never happen.

 

[JoeShmoe]

Cash is king. I feel naked if I'm not carrying at least a few hundred.

 

[TheFalls]

lul

 

[flashmo]

I still write some checks for some bills, I'm just saying, I don't go to grocery store or Target or whatever and whip out the checkbook, that's weird

I still do once in awhile..old fashioned and I always have at least a couple hundred on me

bingo.

and this is the correct answer folks

If you have good credit and in turn have credit cards with good rewards whether it's travel or cash back, you are bat shit crazy for not using them for every purchase then paying off in full at end of month


I could have a small vacation paid for in full right now with my travel rewards card but saving my points until I can pay for major one like 2 weeks in Hawaii or Aruba.

 

[Acebb]

I carry cash. I see these people handing their debit cards out for purchases and shake my head. I can't believe so many people have an aversion to using cash.

Agreed. Honestly one of the most ridulous claims I've seen on this board.
