re: Did your father ever tell you to keep six months cash at your home at all times?

I have heard keeping an emergency fund, but that’s in a bank account or an easily accessible account.

It's not very easily accessible if it's in the bank. They tell you when and how much of your money you can actually access. And there's a paper trail. It's YOUR money.

I refuse to ever explain to ANYONE "why" or "when" I use my own damn money for.

I've cut back from using credit card only to just for groceries and gas for benefits. Everything else I want no trace of.
