At least $100. cash in small bills can instantly yank you out of an emergency situation. Everyone in our community were suddenly ordered out of their homes due to a train derailment [hazzardous materials] miles away! Cash gave security.
If you worry about break-in buy a small safe offers tons of security. They go on sale regularly under $40. and give a home for important documents as well as cash. It's imparative to bolt these small, portable boxes to both the wall and the floor or built-in shelf. Thieves go to the M/bedroom for treasure so choose another room! We bolted our safe in the closet of the kids rm. There is so much stuff in there it would discourage any thief!
