Some economists say that without cash, central banks could fight recessions more effectively because they’d have an effective way to impose negative interest rates — basically a tax on savings meant to spur spending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Easy. No checks over $500, no deposits into the bank account over $500 and no PayPal/Venmo payments over $500, for any side work I do. Thanks for the heads up! I was keeping all those things to the bare minimum anyway. Edited September 4, 2021 by SayatodaU.P.eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I only pay with cash, even paid cash for my home, I only have a Debit card for on-line purposes. No credit cards at all. Ticked off a local car dealership when I handed him over $40,000 in $100 bills when buying a 2 year old truck.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they would have told me that I would have went to another dealer, I only pay cash. They had 3 people checking each $100 bill. It's not the first vehicle I purchased from them that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters just because of the sheer volume . Can you imagine the volume that agents would have to sort thrygh at 600 bucks. Total Stupidity. It will do more harm than good . If anything they need to bump up the 10k a few grand . At 10k the volume has to be overwhelming . 600 is some out of touch political hack with zero real world experience.

Ask your banker next time you are in how long a person who gives you a check for say a car or sled has to dispute the check you just deposited. Seriously ask You will not deposit a personal check for a significant amount again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously ask You will not deposit a personal check for a significant amount again Many many more transactions at the 600.00 level than the 9999.00 I prefer personal checks in my business. I routinely take deposit checks for 20k or more. Far cheaper and less expensive than credit cards and the fed made it impossible for me to take cash as my clients would get audited if the showed up with that much cash (should I be dumb enough to deposit it in one shot).
