    Supposedly that was how people kept their cash before consumer banking was pervasive. Like you slept on your savings so it couldn't be stolen in the night? At this point it's just an idiom meaning keeping savings in cash on hand, which would include keeping it in a safe. Regardless of where you keep your cash, safe or mattress, if you're keeping it in physical currency then you're losing money every year.

    People long ago kept papers and the like under their mattress. My grandmother would store newspapers and letters and postcards and the like under it. It's just logical if you live in a damp and dark little house and don't have a huge pile of storage space. You MOON PERSONs are spoiled.

    Do not use a safe for cash.
    My house got robed a few years ago and they got into the safe and took about 6 grand and my coin collection.
    The safe was hidden and bolted to the floor,they took my tools to break into it.
    As for keeping cash and it loosing value it depends on two things,how you get paid and how you spend.
    If you get paid in cash with no taxes its all good and if the guy fixing your roof gives a discount for cash its even better.

    Sounds like the guys who came for your safe were very determined. Perhaps they knew you?

    I'm over 30. I literally had this conversation with some people at university yesterday who believe the cutoff is 96 for being a MOON PERSON. I think I'm gen y.

    I thought so at first but they did three other houses that day in the neighborhood.
    I think they just stumbled onto the safe it wasn't very well hidden it was just out of plane sight.

    yeah it says officially 1980 is cutoff year but that seems really high and it seems like that cuts gen x really short.

    I'm technically gen z by like a few months depending on who you ask some use 96 (yes) some 97 (then im a MOON PERSON), I think Y2k is a better starting year because the end of the MILLENIUM but w/e. MOON PERSONs are fucking lame though, I think I'd rather be a Zebra, they're gonna be way smarter.

    Everytime the bank machines fuck up and the cashier is like "oh them darn machine i tell ya heheh!" im like "Ayo if we was using bitcoin this wouldn't happen" even though the transaction times would likely be longer on average but slowly I am converting the normie masses to use decentralized currency and they seem to love the idea even if its slower, fuck the banks.

    but if you keep your monies in the bank your aiding and abeting the evil and greedy credit industrial complexes to further suck the money out of the already victimized society due to the fractional reserve thing.

    for every dollar you save, your enabling your bank to rent out X dollars it doesnt have and earn interests off it while giving a fraction of the interest earned back to you.

    Banks are already starting to use crypto technology to process their transactions. The Bank of Canada does.
