direct deposit is an easy way to go....don't have to worry about picking up a check and taking it to the bank...but then again, the govt knows exactly how much money is deposited..
if you pay your bills with check or credit card...they know...
if you pay for groceries...or ammo or gas or prep supplies...they know....
okay...I guess you could go to the bank and withdraw money and pay for everything with cash.
That's what we do. The bank tellers don't even bat an eye. About the only thing we regularly buy with credit is gas for the cars. Some vendors prefer cash, as they don't have to pay the extra fees for processing credit transactions. More money for them and they smile more.
