Never, never, never use an ATM. You can get money back from a lot of places when you make a purchase.
dont walk outside during a thunderstorm, that tin fold hat on your head is sure to attract a storms attention.
Sometimes ya just GOTTA have that lap-dance.
My suggestion to people is, if you don’t have a safe in the house, you probably have a filing cabinet for your personal records. Take $1,000 out of the bank in twenties put it in three different envelopes and put each one of those envelopes in a different file folder which has other material in it.
If someone breaks into your house they’re not going to rifle through all your individual files. Not going to happen. When you need $50 or $60 in cash just take it out of the file.
If you’re concerned about carrying cash out of the bank, do it at a drive-in window.
I have managed to live my whole life successfully and never ever once used an ATM. Never had an ATM card. Never had a debit card and never have paid credit card interest in something like 60 years as an adult. In doing so I have traveled around the world several times. Your mileage may vary?
Dumbest advice of the thread..so far
