I think the muggers know what time of the week/month people cash their checks, etc.<BR/><BR/>If I were a mugger, I would avoid mugging anybody who looked rich - they carry hardly any cash, only credit cards, simply sign for things at their regular haunts, and have everything delivered. That is unless, I was really after their $10,000 Hermes bag or something - LOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1155735832645831022006-08-16T09:43:00.000-04:002006-08-16T09:43:00.000-04:00I think your philosophy isn't wise.

Same situation for Hurricane Katrina.<BR/><BR/>Cash is King in a crisis, and that big balance at Emigrant isn't going to do shit for you if you cant get to it when you need it. My own view is that you should have enough cash to cover your family's expenses, for a week, in a crisis. Its cheap insurance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583825085533447073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1155667073021889562006-08-15T14:37:00.000-04:002006-08-15T14:37:00.000-04:00Yeah, I feel very self conscious carrying a big wa...Yeah, I feel very self conscious carrying a big wad of cash.. either people are going to think I am snobby and rich and showing off, or they are going to think I am rich and I will get mugged. So not good either way.. but I prefer the former.Kirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991840729281607982noreply@blogger.com
