  1. I had to go very slow on this one to digest it. Nice work. That simple premise on cash and checking accounts, bullseye. This is more difficult an explanation to folks in my sphere than you can imagine. Well, maybe not.

  2. Dear Catherine,
    There is nothing whatsoever untoward about what you said at time 1.58.00. In fact it is inspiring and is what it means to be human. Compliments to your parents for instilling such values.

  3. Hi Catherine & John.
    surprised when you were discussing the phones you must have forgotten the tech article you did with Rob Braxman you did last year I believe where he talked about de-googled phones and do not install google or WhatsApp on any off-the-matrix phones. It was a good session. Interested to know how your European untracked phone test goes.
    thanks for another great money and markets. I also work in Big Tech and they are laying off like crazy.

  5. Good luck with saving your AT&T copper wire landlines. They did away with them in New Zealand October 2023. Landlines and cash were the only things working during Cyclone Gabriel.
    Checks (Cheques) were stopped as payment, over two years ago.
    A “first-of-its-kind” $2 billion climate infrastructure fund has been announced by the government and Blackrock
    to reach net zero by 2050
    NZ seems to be a controlled experiment
    G-d help us!

  6. YES WE NEED CHECKS AS WELL AS CASH. We pay for our RENT with CHECKS!
    Catherine, what recommendations can you give to subscribers whose only income is social security as we face the future? Are we trapped?

    1. Strategy #1 – do everything possible to lower expenses – grow a garden or do towers on your balcony if no land, a well if you can, local energy sources if you can, insulate your home to lower energy use and on and on. Lower your need for cash. And consider a part time job or learn a new skill that could lead to a part time job. Even if you have plenty of assets, if the assets are wiped out, the skills are the basis of barter and being useful. Make sure you have no debt.
