Do you get money (cash, paper, scrolls) from a tree in your backyard?

As others here, I just never use cash except select personal transactions like CL. Even small stuff in stores I use a bank card or credit card to accumulate point, and keep cash out of my pocket.
Exception - damn tolls on the highways here. I keep some small bills in the car just for that.

I also hardly ever use cash except to buy stuff of CL or the marketplace but there are small things like getting a haircut every week = cash. I pay my rent in cash also and short of going to the ATM at the local bank (not USAA)they are the only ones who allow that big of a withdrawal so if I use another stand alone machine I get a fee every time I dip the card. It adds up but I seem to be over my reimbursement limit almost every month. Either way I’ll look into figuring it out.

OK not to be an ass or get into your personal business - but paying cash for your rent is a terrible idea. It means you have no paper trail record of having paid it. I realize this is a temp thing for you and you've just ought a place up in NC so that's likely ending, but please don't encourage anyone to do this.
There have been several nightmare cases around here of both (1) shady landlords claiming people hadn't been paying, when they had, and gettingg renters they didn't like for whatever reason kicked out b/c of claiming they didn't pay... ad winning due to lack of proof otherwise... and (2) cases of people (idiots IMO) getting scammed by a 3rd party *claiming* to be the landlord, who wasn't, who took cash payments for months before the real landlord forclosed on them. Again, no proof anything was even being paid or paper trail of who cashed he check.

Not assuming you to be an ass at all. Guess to clear it up. I pay cash because I deal directly with the landowner. We are agreed to the amount and it is folding money for him to pay the property taxes plus a little extra. Our “rent” isn’t a normal amount for the house and property relative to the market because we are the caretakers for the property, house, and outbuildings that we get to use as we see fit (within reason obviously). He comes up every few months and collects when he has the time to face to face. I understand the norm and, if it was such, I would by no means pay in cash but this is a handshake agreement for us to live out here on his family property that has been paid for since the 50’s. Another thing for us living here is if we agree to do something to improve the house (I have installed updated windows and added insulation) we discuss the project, add a bit for my time and then we don’t pay rent to equal the amount of the project. We get a better house to live in and he gets a better house in the long run. Over all it benefits him having us here because even though they don’t owe anything if this house were left vacant it would be consumed by the woods/critters quickly.
 
Repeated cash withdrawals totaling up to the claimed rent amounts are also considered substantial evidence, in the event signed receipts are lost or never executed.
