OT: Countdown: Three Weeks to Chaos

[partypup]

“Partypup, Arraya and anyone else….
I am planning on getting my money out of the bank. Partypup, you recommend 10K if possible. Since currency denominations are up to $100 dollar bills only…this amounts to a lot of cash.
The problem is…where to store the cash? If my house were to get broken into, all the money could be gone…
Where would you recommend? Also, what if I died? Do I send my beneficiary a treasure map to the house? X marks the spot kind of thing?”

There are definitely risks involved with keeping cash at home, no doubt. The problem is, there is no path we can take at this point that is completely without risk.

We have no control over money in a bank. We do, however, have some control over our homes.

Get a safe. Bolt it to the floor. Hide it well, preferable behind boxes or other items that are difficult or cumbersome to move. An alarm is ideal. I just had one installed for $600. Very doubtful that any thief would take the time to rummage through boxes to find a safe and attempt to crack it while an alarm is going off.

As to events following your death…just remember, you can’t take it with you. It’s only cash. If you’re dead, you no longer need it 🙂

Forgot the most important part…DON’T TELL ANYONE you are going to be keeping 10 large at home. Even the bank teller – tell them you are doing something else with it, anything but keeping it at your house.

It greatly increases your risk of being robbed – and perhaps tied up, threatened, and killed – if any other human on the planet knows you have cash at home.

Even if you tell an honest individual, they are likely to tell the story to someone else who will tell someone else and so on. As the economy continues downhill and someone needs quick cash, guess where they’ll come?

Paranoia. If we ever need to use Gold to buy essentials then I doubt if there will be any essentials to buy.

This all reminds me of the scene in National Lampoon’s Vegas Vacation where Chevy Chase needs to pay off his gambling debts, so he asks Cousin Eddie to borrow some money. Randy Quaid and Chevy Chase proceed to dig throughout Eddie’s trailer park front yard looking for buried cash.
