Thanks Bob, appretiate the offer.
You're right about the cash, I put $25 in cash in an envelope and put it in the mail. Don't tell anybody, you're not suppose to mail cash. - Steve

B/C I DID have an issue (over a decade ago), and there's other ways theze dayz (my bank is trying to get me to sign up for their own version, as a matter of fact.)

Call me paranoid, but I took one look at Facebook's sign-up, i.e., ALL the personal data they wanted to collect, and opted out. SOOOO gland now that I did. (They've been hacked - how many times now??)

Simple and Elegant vs. Complex and Wonderful: some things were better before they were "improved". (Yeah, I know. [I turned 70 this year....])

I'm with ya Paul, I still like cash. Any of you guys ever see me pull out a credit card?
Speaking of creepy things, we had a murder, and the court is trying to suppena Alexa records hoping Amazon records will reveal something. That means not only is alexa listening all the time, but Amazon is recording it. Think about that techies.

Most voice activated internet devices have the ability to track your conversations. Cameras on your smart tv’s and laptops can watch and listen. Baby monitors etc and etc!

Yeah, we could start a new thread on that and it would go on for a long time. Kinda creepy.

OK.
Having been a banker for over 40 years, I will give you this tip.
It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to live in 2018 without using some form of electronic funds.
You cannot rent a car, reserve a room, get a seat on an airplane, or do what scares the heck out of most folk, buy something on the internet.
Heck shoe shine stands in major cities take cards for payment, same for coffee shops, convenience stores, and fast food.
Cash has it's limitations.
Far more fraud continues to occur with paper checks, than with services such as Pay pal.

So what do you do?

Simple.

Apply for at least one credit card, with a limit just slightly above what you anticipate that you might need.
A low limit of 1000 to a max of 2500 works for most, some can get by, although I do not know how, on 500, but that is up to you.
If you fear credit / debt, get a prepaid re-chargeable card with a similar maximum.
Open a pay-pal account, and ONLY tie that card to it, period.
You now have a way to live in 2018 with an exposure equal to or less than the card maximum you set. ( far less than the risk of losing a roll of cash)

YOU MUST REVIEW YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS MONTHLY; TAKES TWO MINUTES, AND YOU HAVE 60 DAYS TO REPORT ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY, WHICH SHIELDS YOU FROM ANY LOSS WHATSOEVER.

Use the card in person.
Use pay-pal on internet, or in many stores.
Use cash whenever you like.

If still fearful, try tin foil around your house, head and card.

Questions?
Happy to respond.
Welcome safely to all to 2018 and beyond!

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
Enjoy your family, friends, health, your ZR-1 and all else that you have been blessed with!
Be charitable to those less-blessed.
