I keep VERY little money in the bank (I actually use a credit union), just what I need to pay bills online. It goes in and comes right back out. The rest, I keep in cash. That's good for now, but what happens when the government makes businesses stop accepting cash? Do we use gold and/or silver? Start bartering? It's all very troubling for those of us who wish to be free, and stay that way. Where can we go in the world where these things are not issues? What is the most free nation right now? These are important questions.
