>interest rates into negative territory. That's the strange world where you pay to keep money in the bank and get paid to borrow it.

Wow, fuck that. I've already reduced my credit card usage to near zero for privacy-related reasons, but I still use a bank to store my funds. I'll definitely be among those switching exclusively to cash if this sort of thing comes to pass.

Serious question: where do you store your cash?

I am privacy conscious myself, and I am evaluating a cash-only life, but where do you keep all the cash? Still at the bank?

I have $XXXX in my safe and $XX-XXX in my wallet most of the time. I periodically top up at an ATM, gas stations near me have 0-fee ATMs.
