Do you keep a stash of cash?

Re: Do you keep a stash of cash?

Regarding the money in the books, I have only one thing to say.....AUUUURRRRGGGH!
Speaking as a child of a mom that did that, imagine you forgetting which book has your money in it. Now think of the time it would take to search through all your books if you have to pack up in an emergency.

I used the tampon box to store money in at work. This was before my nice tip box. I never had $500 in it. It takes a special type of person to store money in a tampon box and a rarer type of person to search a tampon box.

You know it's bad when the hubcups pop off and spin by the car while you're driving!! Just waiting for spring and an inheirtance from my grandparent's estate....but trying to find a second job to supplement. Anyone else ever do that....i.e. days and midnights on same days??

Well yes, when I was a teen, kept me out of the car for sleeping, but I wouldn't recomend it.

I saw a fake hair spray can in a store once. I thought it was a fab idea to hide some currency.

My worry on the decoys (tampon boxes, shaving cream cans, books, etc.) is how easily they can be thrown out or lost. I think there's a better chance of that happening than a thief breaking in and finding your money in, say, a sock drawer.

I was watching tv and one adviser suggest $300. I don't have a stash at home, but I'm thinking about starting one. I usually cary $40-50 on me.

I think that if you are putting money into these decoys, as long as you either let the spouse in on the fact that you have money in there, I'm sure it won't get tossed out. As far the tampox box goes, my husband doesn't touch tampon boxes, I can't even get him to go and buy me tampons at the grocery store (he doens't think it is "manly")
