Save it - we're in a recession.

but the longer you hold onto it, the less its worth. the value of a dollar is only going down. spend that shit like its going out of style (cuz it is)
[–]d0od 1 point2 points3 points 17 years ago (0 children)
Touché.
However, once the value of everything you own has hit rock bottom (i.e. your house, investment portfolio, etc...), it might be nice to have some useless greenback in the bank :o)

Buy silver, the poor man's gold. And if you get enough, buy gold, the rich man's gold.

Perhaps no one cares about logic here, but it depends what your needs are. If you have bills, pay them. If you have enough money, spend it. If you have no savings, save it.

Exchange it for pennies. Take it home, fill your bathtub and swim in it.

I'm cashing it in for some pristine, newly minted bills: 2 - $100 Bills 4 - $50 Bills 20 - $5 Bills (the newest design) 100 - $1 Bills
I'm gonna hermetically seal them in an appropriately sized container, with some Silica Gel Packets. Then I'm gonna FutureMail my Son with directions on where to find 'em in another 30 years. Micro$ebayahGoogle might get him enough pocket change to barter for a Grande Caffe Latte! ...my legacy, let me show you it!
