@gsc Really? You'd go without a bank? I don't think you've considered the implications of not being banked In a society that expects you to be banked. This is really "well, if he'd said that to *my* mother, I would have punched him out" territory. @EarthOrgUK @jtb @ahltorp @davep @signalapp

@stagerabbit @EarthOrgUK @jtb @ahltorp @davep @signalapp i am not lecturing you, you have to decide if you prefer giving in to what "society expects of you" vs. giving all my money to someone you don't trust. Society expects lots of things, my recommendation is to only fulfill those that resonate with your heart <3

@stagerabbit I have never been *properly* banked in Japan, and even if still sort of worked, there are so many things you can’t do, and things you really have to do that you need friends to help you with. And I was lucky that I had the financial means to pay for six months of rent in advance, otherwise I don’t know what I would have done. In Sweden you aren’t even able to pay for most things in person if you’re not banked, and you’re completely locked out of enormous parts of society.
