Resilience starts with you
Prevent *your* life and those around you, from being disrupted by others
2. Cash
Yeah the whole tap-n-pay is super easy until it doesn’t work because <reason> .. that happened a few months back where one of our major telcos had a near-day-long outage (thanks Optus 🤡)
Cash in your hand can always be spent for what you need .. merchants prefer it because no-one takes ‘a clip’ and it’s in their hands when you walk out the door
Cash also protects your privacy - it has no electronic record that ties you to the product or service you bought .. nice side benefit
How much? I think about it this way - fill my car with fuel, pay for a week’s groceries, and cover my rent/mortgage for a payment ..
Create a little cash stash at home .. add to it each week until you’re comfortable it’s enough to get you out of a tight spot caused by a visit from the Fuckup Fairy
Don’t let your life be disrupted
Do this little thing today - easy
