getting cash on the road

We typically need cash for CG discounts or because I don't like writing a check to pay for monthly rent when CG won't take CCs.

We've found that different banks in different states put the restrictions on the ATM cash withdrawals. We use an online bank ATM/Debit card and they reverse the ATM fees immediately.

Wallyworld for cash from my debit card or CC.
When traveling they have big parking spaces for MH & toad.
Also use for grocery's & all prescriptions.

I only write maybe 1 or 2 checks a year.
All banking to pay bills is done on line, some are direct transfer.

ATM machines lately has had some compromised with skimmers used in some of them.
Less chance of that at Wallyworld.
I last used a ATM was maybe 15 plus years ago.

we go into the bank ask the teller for a cash advance on the debit card, no fee, and you can get larger bills, rather than a pile of 20's, and change for the laundromat

I use the debit card at the ATM's, and credit cards when needed. I don't know anyone who has been hacked beyond a few fraudulent transactions, myself included. The banks and card companies cover my losses if I should get hacked.

There's plenty of other stuff to worry about -- banking isn't one of them.

Yep this is very true - enjoy the full time life - thinking up things to worry about is not part of the fun

What's cash? Seriously, I have been known to carry the same $10 in my wallet for months at a time. We write maybe 3-4 checks a month, use auto pay for reoccurring bills, PayPal, debit cards and credit cards when needed. Within our lifetime cash will become obsolete for most of us. Only the poor and homeless will use it.

Seriously, when we need cash for travel we'll either write a check to the local bank drawn on our CU account or use one of the 30,000 CU ATMs that are members of the national COOP. You can also cash a check at any CU that is a participating COOP member as long as your home CU is a member.

We used to just go to an ATM, but got tired of paying the fees. We opened up an extra checking account with a national bank and use their debit card.

Most of our needed cash will come from extra when visiting Walmart of other grocery stores.

Getting cash........same way you do now

ACA....what is going to be your domicile state----residency state.
That is where you will have your Medical Insurance Policy and that is where you will have to check what/how coverage is offered.

as others have said we get cash out when we shop for food, etc. We also have a daily limit on our card.
For Health Insurance, don't select an HMO. They are usually regionalized. Select a national PPO like Blue Cross or Aetna. You will need to look for providers in the network and usually get pre approval for care. You could start on www.healthcare.gov and see what's there.
