This reminds me of what made us decide to buy our first place about 20 yrs ago.

We were living in MM and the landlord announced the apt rent was going from $700 to 900, or something nuts like that. That was it, we went out home shopping and bought a condo within a month. That was the best decision we ever made (aside from having our kids :)) and it helped boot-strap us into our current home.

Thank you, landlord, for so clearly showing us the right direction!

ps – they ended up canceling the rent increase due to a renters revolt like you wouldn’t believe.

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?

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.

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?[/quote]

Family legend in my tree is that my gr-grandfather hid cash in coffee cans in holes around the farm during the great depression. I don’t know if that is true, and isn’t really what I would do.

Every house has hidden cavities. I would probably find one of those, or create a false back in a cabinet or closet…that would make a nice w/e project. Worst case, get a coffee can and stash it in the attic under the insulation!

I really think you all are panicking for nothing, but I may take out a couple hundred this weekend just to hedge my bets. :oD
