Money is an emotional issue. In fact, conversations about money are almost never only about money. They're about self-worth and security and anxiety and independence and status and safety and priorities and so much more.

So what I really want to know is how do you feel about people that dont use bank accounts. Do you feel this is odd or makes them untrustworthy in someway?
If someone were to keep money under their bed for example (instead of the local savings and loan), what type of box would you recommend.
Please advise.
