You don’t need any cash.
I only spend money on food and laundry. Books you can get from the library, and haircuts you can do yourself.

The checking and savings accounts I use are ING Direct. They have 4% interest for checking, and 4.5% interest for savings, with no minimums or fees. They use the allpoint ATM network, which has more than 30,000 ATMs across the country. PM me if you want a referral ($25 for you and $10 for me). One downside of ING Direct is that they don’t do checks. In addition, some online banks offer higher rates.
