Used to be a lot of people would want to pay cash and get a better deal. Haven't had that in a long time though. Cash as payment in a financial transaction is a dying thing.
A lot of that went away when the confiscatory tax brackets went away. If you’ve got to give the government 70% of your money, there’s a lot more incentive to do cash than at a 22% tax rate.
But, anymore, most people have almost a phobia about cash. Give them $5K in 50’s and watch them freak out. Any how, keeping more than a decent SHTF stash around seems silly to me. But FWIW, my stash is in plain sight. If the house burns, oh, well.
