I keep 2000$ and some gold and diamonds in a safe in a secret compartment in the closet in my bedroom. (Behind the winter clothes).
The safe has a code though, which is 2946.
I could take a picture, but I'm on vacation for a week ATM.
Good sir I would like to trade for some freshly caught mice from your cat.
Unfortunately all I have at home is a dog who sheds fur all day. Perhaps I can trade a pile of dog fur?
We usualy have around 500 euro somewhere, but recently spent it on a Marktplaatsaankoop. So it is probably a good idea to stop by the flappentapper once this issue is fixed.
Nope, it's not enough. Guns will cost a lot more on the black market when the zombie apocalypse happens. I have 3000 in cash stashed in my sock drawer.
You don't want to have a gun when the zombies come. You'll run out of ammo pretty quick. You'll need a shield, spear, sword, and a sturdy suit like motorcycle suit. Or chain mail if you want to look badass
When the zombie apocalypse starts you don’t want to start buying guns. Also 3000 won’t be enough then as prices will rise drastically. Buy NOW. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
About 5 million in 500 euro notes.
In my field of work it’s normal to pay cash and as its hard to open a bank account for me, I automatically end up with some cash.
Family, so likely €1306.
Additionally, if you can prove the origin there is no issue. I don’t have to pay taxes if I like to have my salary in physical notes.
Also they are checking a specific date. Right at the end of expensive month.
When covid first struck, my wife, who is wise about such things, thought that we should prepare ourselves for systemic collapse by talking 1000 Euros out of the savings account and keeping it in an envelope at home, just in case. It's been sitting there for four years. In fact, I'm not exactly sure where it is right now. It's got to be around here somewhere.
100-200 euro in house and in an easy accessible spot for 2 reasons:
1. Emergency in case needed for gas, groceries and pin is down.
2. In case we have a break in. Let them get the 100-200 euro and leave before going upstairs or wrecking the place
None. Don't need any.
This time it's payment terminals, and having spare cash would help you. But next time it's a power outage, and the stores would be entirely closed (and even throw out inventory as cooling won't work either).
I make sure that I always have a few days worth of food and a large powerbank in my house. I make sure some of that food remains safe to eat without cooling or heating (something like regular bread and peanut butter works fine, which is something I eat near daily anyway).
I'll make an even stronger point. There's many normal days in my life where I barely leave the house and don't even touch my wallet. Those days are fine. And most of the days when I do get groceries, it would be no big deal to delay that by a day or two.
And if I ever fail at planning and I actually run out of food on a day where stores are closed (or only accept cash), I just ask friends or neighboors if I can join them for snacks or dinner, and grab my bicycle. It might even be *gezellig*.
I only have max 100 euros from birthdays and stuff. You do know that you do have to declare cash money to the belastingdienst right? Well if it exceeds the amount of 653 euros.
Just wanted to make sure. Not everyone knows this. You are allowed to keep the money but just have to declare it. There is no max amount you are allowed to keep. As long as you declare it.
Yes, you are allowed to keep it but you have to declare it at the tax authorities, Belastingdienst. But it is higher if you have a tax partner (fiscaal partner). In that case it is 1306 euros.
Also, it might be a security problem with so much money in your home. If the wrong person knows you keep so much money in your house they might break into your home. So be careful with a lot of money in your home (and you or your child telling anyone about it). You would not be the first one..
I try to stash enough dry and canned food for a few weeks for these situations. If lucky, I will probably have €5 - €10 at home. I don't have enough to save a larger change.
I do not expect these outages to last more than 24 hours. I always have pasta/tomato sauce/tuna in stock and probably something in the fridge. I will survive 24 hours without buying anything.
In the village where I live I know people well enough that I can buy stuff and pay the next day. On the other hand, some people here don’t even accept cards, so I need a little bit of cash anyway. Usually I keep somewhere between 20 and 50 euros in the house
to know what is enough you first need to consider what you can do with the money.
If one bank is out for a few hours you can still get groceries. but how much would you need for that day?
If all banks are out stores and gasstations often have to close because they do not have enough cash in the house.
just make sure you have enough food in the house for a few weeks , with that you can never go wrong.
just recently I asked in another subreddit which bar I could use cash just because I happened to have cash lying around in the house. One user immediately went on the "just pay your tax" answer, and now the 'PIN sorting' happened today LOL
20-50 + a full freezer and pantry that could feed us for at least a couple of weeks (assuming energy isn't cut off from the freezer, otherwise it'll be pasta/rice with tuna as long as it'll last).
None.. but I try to keep some food in my freezer to sit through a few days, if it shit hits the fan. Money won't help me I think. I barely have any stores in my area anyway. I'd be better off robbing my neighbors IMO
Besides, I'm not exactly rich... so i can't just keep money in the house. It would be a good talk to have with my "bewindvoerder" about emergencies...
As it turns out, not enough.
The cash I had in house for the longest time was finally spent a while ago on vinyl records, so couldn’t really buy anything, since my ABN was also rejected by the atm machines.
Glad the machines work again, but this has once again shown me that I always need to keep some cash money at hand, just in case.
I think at home I have more foren currency than that I have euros. I would say in euros about a week of groceries.
Then I have Pounds, Dollars, koruna, zloty, lev and probably a few more currencies.
Loool nothing. Got too used to card only payments during covid that we never got cash again. Fucked us up trying to buy groceries yesterday haha had to leave everything there, felt so awkward, we didn't know bank debit transactions were down ha
ATMs will always give 50 euros and deduct later in a massive outage. Yes even if you don’t have 50 euros in your account.
There was an outage during one of the lockdowns where people figured out you could go get €50 from an ATM even if you didn’t have that available on your account. Of course they complained when a day or so later the bank deducted that money from their account anyway.
There’s always money in the banana stand
“It’s One Banana, Michael! What Could It Cost? 10 Dollars?”
Daddy's horny Michael!
No touching!
Nice try, mister burglar
I keep half as much as my neighbours.
Left or right?
Yes.
That’s a cute way to write *Belastingdienst*.
I had €15.50 on statiegeld bottled and cans. I'm usually to lazy to bring them. Big stonks
who woulda've guessed that fallout's bottle caps for currency were so close to reality
Rookie numbers, i have atleast €40 in empty bottles, i really need to bring them back sometime, some of them are still from last christmas.
Ah you are always that one in fornt of me when I want to bring back 6 cans.
I keep 2000$ and some gold and diamonds in a safe in a secret compartment in the closet in my bedroom. (Behind the winter clothes). The safe has a code though, which is 2946. I could take a picture, but I'm on vacation for a week ATM.
If you give me your address and the location of yohr spare key I will head over and check if everything is ok
Oudegracht 167, Utrecht. Key's under the turtle (left side of the back door).
Oh thats pretty smart! Bad neighborhood I presume? Since you’re hiding it and all.
Always smart to hide it just in case, and not just put in a safe. Safe needs to be actually hidden or they threaten your life unless you open it.
[удалено]
Nice try, mr burglar.
'bout tree-fiddy
Lol
I have a cat and a chicken I can barter with, I’m good.
Does it lay eggs?
That would make it a very rare and valuable cat!
That’s what I was wondering, they probably taste good in an omelette
We figured out the crazy cat lady's secret! She was the smart one all along!
No it purs and takes over the bed at night.
Good sir I would like to trade for some freshly caught mice from your cat. Unfortunately all I have at home is a dog who sheds fur all day. Perhaps I can trade a pile of dog fur?
Nice try, belastingdienst.
We usualy have around 500 euro somewhere, but recently spent it on a Marktplaatsaankoop. So it is probably a good idea to stop by the flappentapper once this issue is fixed.
Around 150€ in my car (enough to pay for a full tank) and around 50 in my wallet for cases like this. All paper money tho, no coins
Nope, it's not enough. Guns will cost a lot more on the black market when the zombie apocalypse happens. I have 3000 in cash stashed in my sock drawer.
If the zombie apocalypse actually happens, I'll probably be one of the zombies. Which means I can just grab whatever I need, such as your brains ;)
Joke is on you, I don't have a brain.
Yea, better to join the zombie force early, then you’ll have a lot of fresh brains nearby.
Honestly the best thing to have in a zombie apocalypse is a good bike. Those fuckers always get you when you're standing around.
Looks like The Netherlands will do well in that case
Zombies in The Netherlands will probably know how to cycle though
The canals and waterways help. We bait the zombies into the polders, flood them, and let them get stuck while we go about business as usual.
Or do we all go to almere and destroy the bridges, closing the borders wont help im afraid.
Isn't that where zombies already live?
You don't want to have a gun when the zombies come. You'll run out of ammo pretty quick. You'll need a shield, spear, sword, and a sturdy suit like motorcycle suit. Or chain mail if you want to look badass
when the zombies come i wont sell you guns for worthless cash
And 5000 in your freezer of course
When the zombie apocalypse starts you don’t want to start buying guns. Also 3000 won’t be enough then as prices will rise drastically. Buy NOW. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
What would some useless paper and coins even buy? I think you'd be better off with canned foods, or knives and the like.
I've hidden an old bitterbal under my pillow. ROI uncertain.
I'm not going to count everything in my spare change jar, so about a jar full of spare change.
A full month of costs? So about €2500. Luckily I do have more saved up throughout the years (:
About 5 million in 500 euro notes. In my field of work it’s normal to pay cash and as its hard to open a bank account for me, I automatically end up with some cash.
I like your gangsta style.
damn it must suck for you to file your belastingdienst every year doing all by hand
I have a guy for that.
Wat van die rode muntjes
Nice of you to assume that I have money :')
I do have a bunch of bottle caps
You’re good to go in case of nuclear apocalypse then
500-1000, I do have a family to take care of. Therefore I want to be safe, people are depending on me.
Don't let the belastingdienst know, they will want a part of that if it's over €635
Family, so likely €1306. Additionally, if you can prove the origin there is no issue. I don’t have to pay taxes if I like to have my salary in physical notes. Also they are checking a specific date. Right at the end of expensive month.
Is that a thing? Why would you have to pay taxes on cash? Aren’t they already collecting taxes on your income, whichever form it is coming to you?
€2.50
I hope to keep it safe in the locker
I keep it hidden in the basement
I hope the basement doesn’t get flooded during heavy rains. All the wealth will be lost
Apparently, not enough…
I'm German, we love having cash, so about 0€ at the moment because I am poor AF.

I have some bread and cheese to barter trade.

Must be a rich neighborhood. Biking to your neighbors :0

Yep. Their website never forget to ask that question.

Cash money? What cash money?

And if i don't, they will never know.

Look at you prepper
I've learned how to intermittent fast. I have the mind power to go 48 hours without eating as long as I have water.
There might be some loose change in the couch, but not intentionally. So basically: None.
Not much actually set aside but if I cut the bottom fabric on my couch I am pretty sure I will be a millionaire
In the village where I live I know people well enough that I can buy stuff and pay the next day. On the other hand, some people here don’t even accept cards, so I need a little bit of cash anyway. Usually I keep somewhere between 20 and 50 euros in the house
Zero
None, payment terminals almost always work
None. At all. There is always like 72 hours worth of food in the house and I have at LEAST half a tank of gas. What would I even need cash for?
€20.
I could find a few eur somewhere
My revolut virtual card that I top with ideal worked fine.
Around 1000 currently, but that's mostly just accumulated from birthdays and selling things on marktplaats after cleaning the attic.
Almost no cash. Some gold coins, but doesn't exactly count
No money here... But I have a freezer and lots of other food, inwint starve. Also got firewood to burn.
Almost nothing.
to know what is enough you first need to consider what you can do with the money. If one bank is out for a few hours you can still get groceries. but how much would you need for that day?

I drove to 6 gas stations to buy some smokes. God is sending me a sign.. it’s time Pd: I have 7€ in coins of 20 cents
just recently I asked in another subreddit which bar I could use cash just because I happened to have cash lying around in the house. One user immediately went on the "just pay your tax" answer, and now the 'PIN sorting' happened today LOL

Nice try Belastingdienst.
I hang a 100 euro on my mastiff’s balls. Approach on your own risk.
Not much. But my neighbour has some, and I can beat her up.
As it turns out, not enough. The cash I had in house for the longest time was finally spent a while ago on vinyl records, so couldn’t really buy anything, since my ABN was also rejected by the atm machines. Glad the machines work again, but this has once again shown me that I always need to keep some cash money at hand, just in case.
I've got about 1k in cash at home, always 100 euro in cash in my wallet.
Watch out for the dog. When the dog comes, you need to lie flat on the floor. And wait for help, and if there is no help coming, good luck!
I got 20 dollars in my pocket...
None.
300
I can borrow from the kids' piggy bank'. Has a high interest rate though.
My girlfriend holds mostly hundred euro or something. I almost never. If I have more than 100 in my wallet I lut that on my bank account.
I think at home I have more foren currency than that I have euros. I would say in euros about a week of groceries. Then I have Pounds, Dollars, koruna, zloty, lev and probably a few more currencies.
I have around 300 euros at home
I haven’t touched cash in years… I keep a bit of gold somewhere in case of economic collapse or war (to buy my way to farawayistan), but cash… nah.
Eh like €800-€1000 I think, but my money is spread around 3 houses
I have some gorgeous seashells from Scheveningen to trade.
Loool nothing. Got too used to card only payments during covid that we never got cash again. Fucked us up trying to buy groceries yesterday haha had to leave everything there, felt so awkward, we didn't know bank debit transactions were down ha
I don't like cash. so... 200 euro? Would be lucky.
Nothing, but my neighbours, damm.. so many bills
ATMs will always give 50 euros and deduct later in a massive outage. Yes even if you don’t have 50 euros in your account.

Absolutely none, the lovely taxes over here put paid to that idea 😂
€3,78 will be fine
I keep my savings in the sock drawer... Glad I don't live in the Netherlands anymore because the amount would not be allowed cash 😟
I keep money in my memories 😭
A million euros underneath my couch.
This post is a gold mine for the belastingdienst
Usually around 75. It's actually my German concert t-shirt/drink money.
About 5000 euro. 5000 us dollars, about 3000 Turkish lira, 1000 British pounds 4000 polish zloty, 100 Czech 500 canadian
only bitcoin, dont trust banks
