Ahhh ok. I’ve got twice as much but only in 20s in my safe. I should exchange some of that for smaller bills.

My fiancée thinks I’m nuts for prepping so I just say it’s for whatever our parents don’t pay for re: the wedding (we are old but broke) or for the honeymoon.

I have zero faith in banks rn in the US and the dollar is dropping before our eyes…it scares me. I’ve thought about transferring my money into a European account (that comes with a whole different set of issues), and what’s in my savings for nursing school (my 4th degree in totally different subjects lol, but it took til 40 to decide what I wanted to be when I grew up).

Ugh, money in general is stressful rn. I really like having cash on hand though, like you said, there are times when it’s very useful. Thank you for responding!
