No matter what your nationality or the color of your skin, money IS the GREAT EQUALIZER!
There was a time in my life when I lived in the best neighborhood and had plenty of cash, and I was treated differently, yes, life was very good! Then I lost it and again, I was treated differently, and it was not good. That is the premise of this blog. Living in a humane society, most of us don't like to admit that money makes people treat us differently. But people who went from rags to riches or riches to rags, know this all too well.
The rest of us are fine believing that "money changes people", other people, but, we have trouble believing that someone else having money changes the way we treat them but it can and it will.
If we're not aware of it, it certainly will! That green-eyed monster is a tricky minx and pride is its master. Become aware of this feeling of jealousy within yourself because that is the only way to beat it. Now, on to the premise of THIS post.....
IS NOT OWNING A BANK ACCOUNT STILL WORKING?
I don't know if I shared this with you before but, my adjusting to not having a bank account is taking longer than I thought it would. I have a job where I get paid weekly and I have too check that I haven't cashed yet. So I've been using my kid's account to put my money in (I said I'd be honest). So right now I'm using a bank account just not my own. I haven't put my money onto a prepaid card yet.
That's one reason that my posts haven;t been regular. In order to really know if it works for me, all of the pieces have to be in place for me and I can't be dependent on other peoples accounts, like I am right now. But as for how I feel about the change so far? Still great! I feel freer and have no ties to a bank is still really good.
I have a friend who is trying to do the same thing, she took the first step and retained most of her money in her last check and she feels "in control of her life". I don't know if she'll keep on the path of not having a bank account, I'll keep you updated.
This decision reminds me of the "Seinfeld" episode when Kramer decided not to have a mailing address and not to receive mail from the post office. He instead opted receive his mail by fax, email, and the other methods we now have. Back then it was funny because no one considered not having a maildrop but,, now many people don't (because they are going green).
The world is changing is many ways and how we store our money is one of them. I believe the banking institutions are trying to get their last dance in before they become obsolete. Accounts are being closed for no good reason, and I even know of a bank that has stopped accepting money transactions for anything but business accounts. They only accept checks and money orders for a deposit into a personal account. I know because I was the person who tried to deposit the cash and this is what I was told by the teller. I had to go buy a money order and then return and deposit the money order instead. Something is happening and it's time for us to wake up. When the banks closed in Greece, no one got a warning and the decision was made on a Sunday and the banks were closed on Monday the next day. The same happened in Argentina over ten years ago and no one got a warning, up until the morning of the closure, the people were being told that everything was fine, then the banks closed at 3 O'clock and never opened and it started a ten year financial event.
I hope you consider what is best for you and make changes if you think you should. Don't just keep saving the same way because its all you know to do. Study some alternative ways of saving. Bitcoins are starting to be accepted, start mining bitcoins and saving them. If your bank is manipulating your money with fees and more fees that eat away at your checking account. Take control of your money, after all, YOU'VE EARNED IT.
