BANK RUNS

[CharlesHarris]

+1 on what MB said. I routinely cash a check at the branch local bank each month for normal household expenses. Not a large amount. Normally this was about $100 per week. Over the last year have doubled it to compensate for inflation, and o enable accumulating a bit of extra cash below levels which would actuate govt triggers. I want l to have cash at home to cover several months of ordinary expenses, gas, groceries, cash payments for routine car and home repairs, etc.

About $5000 in the home safe is a comfort level. I accumulated this over a year.
