    Yeah, if I found like a hundred thousand in cash, it wouldn’t get into a bank account, I’d just be buying groceries and retail purchases in cash for a long time, and saving the money I would have spent normally. Maybe asking places to make change so if the serial numbers get noted, things get spread about a bit.

                How much do you reckon groceries will cost then? From what I’ve seen, collapse brings neither groceries nor safety.

                  In the short term it’ll certainly suck but long term it’d probably end up being better for everyone, the problem with the fed is both a short term and long term problem. While groceries may get expensive for a couple years it’s unlikely theyd be nearly as fluctuate as they are now simply cause the states would be incapable of doing nearly as much stupid shit.

      Don’t forget any home improvement tasks. Need your yard leveled? Landscapers would love to give a slight cash discount.

      Tree needs taking down? Cash.

      Tuckpointing a chimney? Cash.

      Annoyingly, you can’t actually use “cash” cash for a cash down payment on a house. Mortgage lenders like to know where the money is coming from.
