Talkin about me behind my back again, eh Rich
I didn't give it up because of the skunks (if you're ordering bank boxes at least half of them will always be skunks). My bank is starting to implement either a $6 or $8 fee per bag returns, making continued searching using THEM for a dump bank an iffy, probably losing, proposition. I will still sort one or two boxes a week, and return them to a different branch (I think they were trying to scare me out of the one branch, since no others have mentioned the "new fee" yet). And I did find a dump bank with four nearby branches to accept my cents... so I can keep up with my present $500 a week.
On the topic question... we're supposed to keep three to six months of emergency cash ready at all times. Why not keep it "working" by picking up boxes and searching them? As long as they are free of charge (both orders and dumps)... if you enjoy the "hobby," what have you got to lose? Just try not to get too addicted... or we'll soon be prescribing nokoinzital for you.
