It aint gonna happen.

This is 2010.......and its called direct deposit. Go open a bank account. Do you keep all your SS money in your mattress??

Seriously......Holy Cow dude.
check cashing places rape you more than banks do,something crazy like 5 bucks
for every 100 or more sometimes ive seen.I have a bank account,but sometimes have to deal with other banks because family will gift us money but have both our names on it,and ill never have a joint account ever again after my first wife screwed me on that.My grandpa paid me from his business account for a gift not long ago after the baby was born and his bank(bank of america) charged me 5 friggin bucks to cash it there,all because it said me and wifey, not me or wifey.
