Why do so many people believe in cash? How can they allocate it so much value without a deep sense of fear and distrust? It is literally pieces of serialised paper!!

It's an ego boost and sense of security tihng.

Regardless if you get enough serialized pieces of paper you can buy a physical item with it. The rest of the world also agrees on this as well attributing value to it.

I'll be lmaoing at your life when we hit a recession and I'm buying up your distressed assets at pennies on the dollar.
Almost every richfag keeps a sizable chunk of their money in cash and cash equivalents. Only middle class folks keep all their money in a 401K and a Roth IRA.

You know you can store cash in tax-advantaged accounts right? "In a 401K" is not an asset allocation.

Sure but your incur tax penalties unless you withdraw for special exceptions. I'm not saying to avoid a 401K & IRA altogether but liquidity is extremely important.
