Yes, been doing just that for many years. I use separate cash and I use a separate credit card to keep the gun collecting/hobby/addiction away from the day to day living expenses. Lets me know just how expensive I am.
As far as the Feds tracking me. They already are.
They are tracking as I type this post.
They tracking my phone calls.
They track my income and spending, you pay taxes, get a bank statement?? You are tracked.
If you are curious as to how you can be tracked, do a Google search on Carnivore, Einstein,Tempset, Echelon. These programs are in the Public Domain and can be read about, they are old ones. I would be certain that there are BLACK programs that have yet to be made public. 9-11 caused the invention of many new things.
I am the Feds. I have worked for Uncle Sam for 41 years, I read what you post. Look at the profiles of the forum members. Lots of folks with LEO badges. Everyone that is legal and on the grid is tracked.
Stay within the law, you won't have anything to worry about.
I like the credit card for the record keeping ability. How much did I pay when purchased 20 years ago. How much should it be insured for. It keeps fun money away from real money.
