I drive a fair amount for my business. So I keep around $300 - $500 stashed in the truck. Figured I should have enough cash to pay for fuel to get me home in case things go sideways, I lose my money clip or credit cards shut down.
Trying hard to teach the kids to not leave the house without at least $20 in their pocket. I am guessing until they really get hung out somewhere because they have no $, they won't learn. I hid $60 in both my kids cars about 3 years ago. I had forgot I did it until I read your post . At the time I guess I figured it would save me a trip of they ever needed cash. Its under the carpet on the passenger side in a ziplock bag. As a dad I consider this a worthy act. Did you tell your kids about what you had done? Or were you waiting for them to call you all hysterical and for you to advise them of how close their salvation was to where they were sitting? LOL! Not personal or anything as I have followed your postings over the years, just asking! LOL, if I told them it wouldn't be there very long

In all seriousness, for the guys that think cash will be worth a damn when things go south you need to change that cash for hard coin silver and gold. Plus things to barter with like medicine, can foods, livestock, seeds, ammo etc...... Those will be the true valuable assets in times of global collapse.
Me? I'm just a country boy and you know what Hank Jr. Says about country boys? Amen! ^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^ memtb Long term SHF scenario maybe... The problem with gold and / or silver though is finding businesses that are set up to accept either as payment. Also with gold and silver prices per ounce as high as they are now, how would you break it down into smaller denominations in order to pay for anything that costs less than current gold / silver value? Lol that made me laugh out loud. I guarantee you that if you're looking to buy something essential and all you have is silver coin the last thing you'll be sure to do is get exact change for the current spot price. You strike a deal in the moment and move on. Odds are you wouldn't be able to check spot prices anyway.

Me? I'm just a country boy and you know what Hank Jr. Says about country boys? It might have been posted on here a few years ago but somewhere I read a story about surviving/bartering during the Bosnia conflict. It really stuck with me, this guy was talking about keeping liquor around for bartering - that was the "accepted anywhere" barter item - he never mentioned gold or silver, it was all about trading goods/services. His perspective was a little more militant and he was pretty close to living a mad max existence. He wasn't talking about a temporary halt at the bank or the local grocery not getting shipments for 2 weeks, but it was still food for thought. You have a fifth of Jim Beam to trade (in honor of Hank mentioned above) and you'll get whatever you need.

this was people burning furniture to stay warm desperation
he was also talking about how important it was to have soap and antiseptic when there is no running water, so it was pretty close to the end of society level stuff
that said, in a barter situation, the moonshiners will be the new bitcoin kings

I keep one year of cash, I draw from the cash when the market dips and replenish when the market is up. Most often the cash sits awaiting a crash. And that's 12 months of normal spending so we may extend it if the dip persists. I see this as a way to mitigate market risk and allows for a higher level of risk/return some of my other investments.
