In my own case, I was robbed of my life savings, which I had in cash, in my back pocket, I was moving to Florida, stayed in a motel a few nights, Breaking and entering, assault with deadly weapon, stayed in the hospital all night waiting to be sutured up, had 72 cents and $5,000 in bills I could not pay, not to mention the loss of the money, and no where to live ! If not a bank, a brokerage account, something, don't leave it around the house Hun ! I'm still in court about the medical bills, not to mention damage to my credit when I could not pay the medical bills!
2 years later, back in court on the medical bills again. I could have been killed if I had put up a better fight for the gun before I got hit over the head with it !

So that I can use my bank card instead of counting out cash... and so my paycheck is direct deposited so I don't ever have to worry about running out every week to get it cashed or ever think about it. Plus, I just go online to my bank and see how much money I have without having to count out thousands of dollars like a terd every week or month.

It's a great, convienient transfer point to move your money where you need it to go.
From a bank, you can convert it to online payment, cash, checks.
and sometimes they pay you interest, but if your not diligent they will murder you with fees.

I live by trust I guess. Now believe me I am not stupid enough to put all my eggs in one basket...
You asked a couple of great questions, this one and the one on democracy, I am very curious about you views. I think you may be one of those thinking types.

There are governmental programs to ensure your cash's safety (to a certain extent, anyway) so it's much safer than keeping in your house.

It makes it easier to access for me and my wife when we are not together. Plus, it makes bill paying very easy!
