Road Runner Posted February 25, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2022 On the TV news. One bit of advice that I thought worthy of sharing: Make sure you have adequate cash reserves on hand, just in case everything goes to hell and credit/debit cards become unusable for a period of time. I guess everyone's definition of "adequate" is very different. I normally keep at least $200 cash at all times, but I may make a few stops at my ATM this weekend.

I keep a "Wilbur suitcase" available at all times. But, what stores take cash? And how long until that would be useless? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't gonna hurt to have some extra cash on hand, one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share #6 Posted February 25, 2022 They are also warning people not to open emails from unknown sources. Not something I do anyway. If I don't recognize the sender or if something seems questionable, it's delete city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
