10 days till closing, well, maybe....what a journey!

Where it ($) was located, no one could have accessed...
Not even a fire!

I've owned many a pub, bar, & nite-clubs, besides owning and operating a studio simultaneously, so having large amounts of cash back then was a regular thing for me.
No big deal. And at the time, interest in a savings account was about 1.5%. totally useless.
Having ready cash on hand always made more sense, and to be quite honest, except for this nonsense, it still does!

Until recently, I never owned a cell phone...nor a credit card.
I lived in a different (cash only) world, always paid cash for gas, same for dinners at restaurants, even my cars,
I bought cash...
Only reason I got a credit card, is to be able to rent hotel rooms, & rent a cars, while traveling.

That said, I really had NO IDEA, about these new rules, I was still living in the 70's / 80's reality.
Who knew.

Haha!

Yikes. I suspect if you give it to your family to give to you, that’s two times it will be taxed. Your family member may get some massive tax bill, and then you. And you’ll both be trying to write off your gifts, which of course somehow will cost. I’m no expert at all at that stuff, but I know it’s not like Xmas… I’d talk to a legal pro, I’m sure you have. Just seems ridiculous

As your raging liberal brother of another who’s mother is in town and ended up at a coffee shop other than my usual haunt this afternoon do you know what the problem with cash in a cash less world is? The idiot who can’t count at the cash register!

Oh Guys I get the perspective, but the idiot who can’t break a $10 sure makes my debit card look easy!

With Chuck Norris as the Math Instructor...

Going to thin the herd and sell one of the eight cars to pay off some bills I pay on line.
I've always taken cash for selling large items, now I'm starting to wonder if my bank will accept a large sum of cash?
Other than cash how would the buyer pay me in this new financial world.
I've received fake cashier's checks in the past. A Bank transfer?
Couldn't buy breakfast this morning cause the restaurant's electric went out. Cash only.
I'm confused.

What?  I thought you had laid off your mic insanity. Is this your first 77?  If yes, you're gonna love it.  Wish I had two, but that's an ongoing issue here....

I'll buy it!!!  I want two.  See if the seller has 3, and if not, you're really spending too much on mics - and should sell it to me.  

Public education, housing and mental healthcare should also be inalienable rights.
Impediments to either of those should be seen as crimes against to humanity.

Ok, I guess we're touching on the political spectrum but not really when we're talking about human rights. We all band together for the good of each other in our tribes, so we should hold these truths to also be self-evident and do something about them.

And more mics for everyone!!

Sure.  Absolutely.  But it won't be a Heiserman or an RCA.  LOL.

The schools around here had some “new math” for past few decades that I never could really figure out. Instead of the top number/bottom number working backwards to front, it was supposed to be an Improvement. But my daughter never understood it, other parents didn’t get it, I couldn’t figure it out, I’d just teach her the old way. And I think the tutor taught her the old way as well. The School district finally ditched it and went back to old school math, which is easy for me to teach my kids. And also it’s easy to do in my head, and I see that for my 10yr old son, he has been doing it that way in his head as well.
Every store I go to I’ve had that blank look for math for years, I just let them keep the change to save the confusion. Hopefully the reversal to the old method will help these kids understand better

Must be in college.
To become a CPA.
