They say stockpiling money is a deathnell for the economy. Shoot I've never cared. Nor have I ever put money in the stock market. I just hoard cash been doing it forever.

The greatest piece of advice my grandparents ever gave me was to save and don't blow your money. They too were anti stockmarket. Sure my money will never double but it won't go away either.
