“Cash as in paper money kept in your drawer somewhere at home? Or cash in the bank ( which can still be hacked )?”
Banks are meaningless, unless in a vault, and then only maybe. But it’s pretty simple: How often do you get broken into and robbed? If no more than once every 10 years or so, then is losing $1000 each time such a big deal (and that’s assuming they even find it)...in other words, why not keep some cash around?
Always, always keep cash on hand! We just went through a hurricane and gas stations and some stores were taking cash only. They weren’t gouging at all but wouldn’t take cc’s.
Everyone should have $1000 tucked away at home.
