Only a few people gave me their input and only one was brave enough to say that he kept quite a bit of cash on hand to not report.
I am talking about new vans, the latest computers and gadgets and programs, vehicle insurance, fancy cell phones that are hands-free, a whole list of books that they want, etc. etc. etc.. *The sky is the limit. Within reason I mean... I don't mean buying a mansion or something like that.* ** I guess many people just go without or have family give them money or keep cash in different areas. I remember hiding mine when I was dependent on the county for home health care and I'm glad those days are over!
