Trust me...there is always cash on hand in case things go horribly wrong with the global economy. My money is diversified...tax-free bonds, int'l currency funds, large cap stocks, mutual funds, cash, and even some gold coins from a buddy who is a GIANT gold broker.

In 14 years of working a shitty corp job and investing, my trackable portfolio has made more than 43%. It has paid for one cabin completely and provided a massive down payment on my home. We budget and put away 20% of my take home because I'm lazy at heart and don't want to work during my best years. I work hard now so I can travel, fish, and live without debt when I 50.

Cash money is great...and I earn enough from rentals and some side consulting in my business field...but it doesn't grow at 43% under my house.

:peace:

If you have any tile floors in your house pull up one tile and cut a hole into your floor. Line the hole will aluminum or even wood(whatever you think is better). Stash your money in there. Badabing! Badaboom! The trick is getting the tile to fit tight in with the rest of the tiles so that it looks discreet.

No, no...to each their own...whatever works for you

Finacial success is subjective...you set whatever goals you want to hit and work for it. Some people want to live a millionaire lifestyle...some want to have enough to get off the grid completely...some just want no debt and a comfortable lifestyle that they are accustomed to...

My goal is to be seriously lazy at 50...I just want the house paid off and enough annual cash for two budget in'tl trips a year, good food & booze, some mountain living, weekend fly fishing, and to cover medical care & home repairs.

:peace:

How about a little 15lb fishing line tied around the neck so it can be lowered down farther and then retrieved? OR... super glue a large magnet to the lid, send it way down the pipe, and then use a string with another powerful magnet to retrieve later?

Just some crazy ideas that hit my brain! Mine are usually outside buried, camoflaged, or under H2O. Non-herbal items get camoflaged under the house and cabins as piping.

:peace:
I have mine mounted semi-perm....It is actually running in to the wall at the top and in to the floor at the bottom.....I made sure it would look and more importantly feel just like it was supposed to. I left glue off the top Y so I can slide it out from there. I have two 30 or 40# test fishing lines (not sure, off my old deep sea bottom fishing rig) that run down the pipe attached to metal lid. Imagine trying to get water from an old school well....same idea but on a ladder.
I agree with the above posters though, I don't store cash in it. Always better places for cold hard currency than "laying around". After 9-11 I bought gold pieces that I keep in my "bug out" jar in the tube....just in case shit hits the proverbial fan here in the states. My wife gives me grief about storing that amount of coin and not earning a dime on it....my argument is always the same....look at the price per ounce we paid 7 years ago....look at it today.

Yeah man, Hiding 30K IS Dumb, you'll be loosing out on about $1200 a year at a 4% interest rate.

Why exactly do you want to hide it?

When the meltdown comes paper money won't be worth a damn anyway.

You should use the $30K to BUY things that will retain their value/be useful.

If i were you. which today i wish i was. 30k mmm. I would go and buy some high priced suits, not too high though. cut the stitches of the liner. neatly place, tack them onto the insides with some sort of adhesive. hang them up in those plastic wrapping things you get from drycleaners in an out of the way place. any questions and just say you only wear them for funerals etc etc.

Without your money being in a bank , there is truely no place safe for that much cash . I would not recommend keeping that cash on the property for many reasons much more worse then cop i.e . fire , natural disaster , break in god for bid any of that happens . Putting in in mutal funds is not a bad idea or even putting it in the bank . As of a good hiding spot for this 30k at you home , put it in a fire proof box and maybe make a secrect panel in the closet in a spot where ya actually have to work on finding and even that fact making the spot for the box .

...if you do decide to do it all at once it better be money to can acct. for and had paid your taxes on. The teller is required to report you on funds (differs somewhat I have heard from bank to bank) over 10,000. They then do an investigation on you and if you can legally prove you made that money and paid the tax you set. otherwise your screwed.

How misunderstood most people are about all this, yes, some of this is true and CAN happen, BUT, unless you are under investigation it really doesn't matter how much money you put in the bank at a time. Also paying taxes on money earned is usually done quarterly (estimated taxes) or annually, so you don't pay taxes on money earned right away so there would NEVER be proof you paid taxes on the money once you deposit it unless you got the money from a source that issues 1099 with the money they give you like a casino or something like that. Not to mention that during the course of a year you could possibly loose money from what ever it was that earned you the money so you might never really owe taxes on this money anyways. So what if the bank reports it to the fed? Unless you are selling on a regular basis and it is creating a large amounts of illegal cash for you then who cares? It is up to the Feds or DA to PROOVE you didn't legally make the money, I am sure you can find friends and family that have paid you back loans they borrowed from you right? These kinda transactions happen every day and are not reported right? Hell if they seize it and they can't make a case they pay you back with interest. RULE #1 NEVER HAVE THE CASH AND INVENTORY AT THE SAME LOCATION. <-- much harder to tie the two together

I have made plenty of deposits of more than $10K and I NEVER HAD TO PROVE where it came from, NEVER EVEN BEEN ASKED! I have deposited anywhere from $10K to over $40K in cash at once... ever sell a car/boat/motorcycle? hint, hint, I am sure you could buy something low and sell it high, turning a profit right? Not all of these kinds of transactions are taxable, I'm sure you could find a few if you investigate enough. You people have watched too many movies, now if the person HAS a large income coming from illegal activities then all of the other investigations could tie it all together and then you get fucked. If you have half a brain you can do your own taxes with a tax program from your local electronics dealer and create a hobby/business that generates income and report it there, not so hard if you ain't reporting large income.

Safety Deposit boxes with gold bars would solve some problems (earning interest or losing value, gold is more stable most of the time but not always!) unless you can't access the boxes when you need to or can't sell off the gold quickly enough but probably not a bad idea if you want it more for longer term stash cash. Also the only reason you HAVE to report the contents of a box is if you wish to have it federally insured so they know how much to file with the FDIC on your behalf, you don't have to report it if you don't mind the risk, keeping things safe and secret is the idea behind the boxes in the first place.

Anyways sounds like you don't really want to deal with a financial institutions and have plenty of money invested and this seems like 'mad' or 'emergency' money and want easy/fast access if needed.



If you hide it in your house.... WHAT EVER YOU DO MAKE IT FIRE PROOF!!!!! Fires DO HAPPEN, I know!!! Fire insurance DOES NOT insure CASH!!! I know this for a FACT, along with many things like auto/motorcycle accessories stored in garage or large amounts of jewels (unless you specify and pay extra) and they send inspectors out that document EVERYTHING they find. Explain why the inspector found several crispy 100's in the attic again?

I would also avoid storing in items that could easily be found 'by accident' like a can of beans in the cupboard, what about when family comes over and is helping make diner? Or something that could be stolen easy like in a computer or electronic device that some kid or junkie out for kicks could snatch if (s)he broke in. Any yeah the coppers are smart about these kind of stash items.

I think that burying it someplace that is not too obvious that it is your property but enough that someone isn't gonna dig a fence post and find it or in a garden that is along your foundation that maybe had dirt tilled regularly so it doesn't look like a fresh hole when you need to access it or the PVC idea making it look like a septic connection or something like that, I would put a false top so if a plumber is making some repairs it isn't found with a quick glance if this is the method used.
