Bank? BANK?

That means you can access it only about 50 hours out of the 168 hours in a
week, or less than 1/3rd of the time. You probably can't drain more than
$500 from your account via an ATM machine.

One word; plastics.

In my view, one should keep their emergency cash in the mattress. Or in the
pocket of an old suit. If the latter, pin a note on the clothing: "Do not
give to Goodwill."

I have a few grand in cash, too. Never know when a nice pistol will show up
cheap. ;-)
