I know lots of guys that are Cash only. They may have bank accounts but that is just for things like child support, and such.
One popular theme is guys retiring in Thailand or other areas in SE Asia. In my network I know of three guys that did this,
but I live in rural Hawaii.
One problem they have is no SS, as they were cash only, their whole lives, so they have to scramble when they get old and feeble and can no longer work.

"One problem they have is no SS, as they were cash only, their whole lives, so they have to scramble when they get old and feeble and can no longer work."

Yeah, that's a real problem. I don't think most of those guys have retirement planning skills, so a lot of them may be destitute when they get old. Not that SS is a huge bonanza, but it's probably enough to keep you off the street unless you live in a place with high housing costs.
