agoodwinsmith... "Greece" may be on the precipice but the people are already in the pits. Bank withdrawal limits of 60 Euros a day: 1800 month, then. I doubt I'd be able to pay my rent, buy my bus pass, bag my lunch, and pay for my electricity and internet with that. There isn't even a place where I can wheelbarrow my coins to pay for electricity & internet.
Which leads me to the very scary-to-me news:

We're not in debt and we don't have a mortgage, but the money doesn't buy what it once did, and if our Flake-a-zoid Leader continues down the road he is hoeing, we'll not continue to receive pensions. I will get a "private" pension, but it is from a crown corporation, so they can go Ciao for Now Loser if they want. Our FAZL recently scammed the EI money to balance his budget, so nothing is safe.
I was thinking that, if a similar crisis were to occur here, my stocks are not in a bank. In fact, while electronic fund transfer still worked, that might be the place to move any liquid assets I might have.
