Think it can’t happen here in the US. Think again!. That is why I tell everyone to keep $200 minimum in cash at their house. Best to have in smaller bills, cause if your bank crashes or a bank holiday is “declared” out of the blue, you won’t have any access to funds.

Think it can’t happen here in the US. Think again!. That is why I tell everyone to keep $200 minimum in cash at their house. Best to have in smaller bills, cause if your bank crashes or a bank holiday is “declared” out of the blue, you won’t have any access to funds.

And if a bank holiday is declared, guess what the credit-card companies are going to do until things get sorted out? Best to keep your pantry full with non-perishables, refill your gas tank whenever it gets below 1/2 full, and some cash around the house (in multiple places) until Obama leaves office.
