My father has always kept money at home. Lately he keeps a scary amouth of money in his safe because he worries about a cashless society where he won’t have control of his money. He said if we heave a cashless society the government can just take what they want. I told him he’s paranoid then a few months ago I got locked out of my bank account. The bank told me it’s temporary until they could figure out what happened. Problem was, I couldn’t pay any bills and my salary was direct deposit. As luck would have it, I had access to my money in just over a week. Seems someone was using my name, had my social security number and had made small deposits then tried to withdrawal everything. The bank caught it, I had to fill out a lot of paperwork, change all my passwords to not only my online banking but all my email and my cellphone and computer. Dad said if that had been the government, my money could have been t****** for several months. My employer will not let me switch to a paper payroll check.
