-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I legit cannot imagine keeping that much cash in my house. what the fuck.
shit, I got nervous carrying a cashier's check across town with a down payment on my house, just because it represented so much savings.
when I was in high school I saved up cash for an N64. like $300. I kept cashed paychecks from my shitty part time $4.25/hr job in a drawer and when I finally had it all and brought it into the store, I felt like I was gonna barf the whole time. this was like before I had an ATM card set up and no credit card or whatever.
as an adult, I hate carrying around or keeping more cash than the absolute minimum to deal with a random, unforeseen situation that requires cash. the sweet spot seems to be $35-55.
if I was a crim and trying to hide shit or otherwise had unbankable cash, I would put that shit in a safe deposit box.
keeping a bunch of cash in the house just seems nuts to me. I know people do it with like safes and shit, but I do not get the appeal.
