Would it make sense to have #CashAwarenessMonth - eviltoast

Maybe December? So we all take money out of banks, at least current month salary, and spend cash only. I think that is something that shouldn’t be hard to do and it would show if we, the people, have any power left to make positive changes for the future or we can just surrender and eat bugs.

Edit:

If I’m trading my only true value, my time, then I want to have 100% control over it, not to depend if some bank would freeze my account and I lost 1/3 of my life irreversible.

    Just notice how much you got and not spend anything besides the absolute necessary like cooking groceries (no sweets, etc.) and non-essential services like Netflix, going out, eating out.
    No need to take money from the bank and risk a 3000€ pay check running around.

      I’m good with managing my finances, this is more awareness thing, will it be supported by politics, if not, why, will there be some resistance. I would like to see how they value our cash. Will banks introduce more withdraw limits and so on. I would like to see posters on bus stations. You know like trans, pride, vegan, black,… and cash awareness month. Would be good to have family month, but not everyone has one, and people care more about money than their families in recent times.

        Dude. Just set the limit yourself.
        And for anyone with spending problems: Make it as uncomfortable to spend money as possible in digital form like a physical TAN generator for bank transfer or 2FA entry on PayPal.
        Makes you think more about your spending.

          I’m not talking about spending, but controlling your money you earn in exchange for your life time that. Money comes and goes, but your time is spent only once. If you don’t have control of your money and bank freeze your account because you are evil farmer, then what is your life worth?, you could just do nothing instead, not getting to work every morning and not spending time with your children.
