I cannot stand banks. I hate them. Bad enough I have to deal with Chase and all their bullshit with my mortgage for the next 30 years or whatever. I want to close ALL my bank accounts and use straight cash to pay bills. I understand the convience of having accounts to pay things online but I live close to all my utility companies. Anybody go straight cash? What are the drawbacks?
I wouldnt be carrying thousands on me, maybe 1k for a dew days or so. I spent more swiping debit/credit cards than cash. For me, seeing my cash dwindle down makes me rethink any purchases. The credit thing doesnt worry me. I have a house note and had auto loans that have been paid off. My credit is in good shape even though I dont have any balances except my house.
the smaller ones are better.
or at least mine is. you have to keep looking until you're happy.
these days you need a bank and a checkings account.
the big banks are brutal though. my experience with bank of america was awful .... could not have been worse.
so .... i hear ya ... but you need one.
good ol big brother keeping an eye on us ( by that i mean ... ie: the american gov't etc ) 
^^ have to be specific around here.

I know it sounds stupid and im just a little drop in the ocean to Chase but they have left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate being treated like shit. That goes for all my dealings with these fortune 500 banks. I guess I should just switch to a local bank and see how that goes. I really wanna try this cash only thing for myself and see what its like. Closing my chase account Friday once my last payroll deposit hits 
the thread title should be ... WTF!!!! Are you guys having any problems with the big banks???????
and then you could tell us a story about how you had a big bank and for some reason you had to call them ..... then ..... go on a 25 minute rant about how dumb these people are ..... then ..... tell us about how they passed the phone around to 15 people making you wait 20 minutes each time .... so .... it ends up being a 300 minute call and at the end of it you didnt get an answer.
and ..... ^^ all of this is happening during your lunch hour when you're supposed to be relaxing.
you too?
