Money! Do You Ever Hide Money From Yourself Around the House??

There are times where I find myself doing this. Put money in a jar in the closet and do not look at it. I also put paper money in a wallet that I really do not use. One of these days, I may look in it to see how much money has been accumulated in it. So yes, I hide money for myself. I am not the type who really spends money in a hot and heavy manner. However, by having it hidden, it will be out of my sight. Therefore, the temptation to spend it will be taken care of for sure. I do admit, that it's not something that I really go out of my way and do. However, I do it from time to time. I have an idea where that money might be if I want to look it up for an emergency or whatever. Its there if I need it but I do not acknowledge its existence until I need it. So, in that sense, I hide the money.

hi! no, I don't hide money from myself and I have never done it, but very often I just forget some in my pockets and When I take the tog to put it on and thrust my hand in the pocket, and then I find them I really feel a little bit strange and happy because I have found money in my pocket. but I don't forget/hide it deliberately from myself

I used to hide money around the house for emergencies but these days I don't bother as I need every penny I have. I do, however, have a £5 note in a small photo frame on the wall with the words *In case of emergency, break glass* underneath

Hi, artistry. I have never hidden money from myself before. But, it sure would be great to be finder's keeper's of my own money. If anything, I will find loose change like pennies, nickels and dimes. I don't really find any large bills hiding in my home. It would be nice to find some big money though.

Although i never intentionally hide any money from myself, but i am not sure why sometimes when i sort-out my belonging, i came across some paper money. This occasion always happened to me, when i was still single. Now, after married, my husband and i usually keep those extra paper money and coins in a big canister. So, whenever we are in need of those extra money, they can easily be found in the canister. But, we always make a habit, not to let that canister empty, although we want to use money from there. We will always put some money into that canister, when there is some extra money to save.

I tried that once when I was a kid, I hid a 500peso bill in one of the pockets of my jeans. I totally forgot about it, and when I wore the jeans, imagine my surprise when I put my hand in the pocket and I got a 500peso bill! After that I checked my other jeans, just to make sure that I didn't put any other money in it. and it turns out that was the only one. hehehe.

I have put money aside but remember always that it's there. Sometimes I put money in my wallet in a hidden pocket and I've forgotten it was there. It's great when I remember and find that $50 or $20. A friend once gave me some vitamin pills that I used and she had no use for. It had a price tag on the bottle of $20. When I got home I put $20 aside to give to her next time I saw her. I put it under a jar in the kitchen. A few weeks later when I went to get it, it was gone. I searched for it and began to suspect some young friends who often visited to borrow pain killers of which I always keep a supply. One day I needed some myself but there was only one left and I knew I had more than that. They had ample opportunity to pinch stuff as I recalled one of them would keep me busy in the office at the computer while the other went to use the loo, or got a drink of water. They eventually left town and it turned out they owed people money everywhere. Pretty lousy behaviour eh?

I don't do it intentionally, but there are a lot of times that I'd get surprised seeing money on some of my bags and even under my bed. LOL.

I kinda did it back then when I was back home at my parents house. I was not doing it in purpose which is funny because I just find it after a year or so. Fun but sometimes I tell myself I have money around but just can't seem to figure out where exactly did I put it.

i did but not around the house. maybe to one of my wallet or to pocket of any of my bags. i have 3 wallet and a lot of bag. and i use them at a time. sometimes i run out of money then when i use the bag i was surprised coz when i check the pocket theres still money left that i forgot coz if i still have money i always put or get some from my wallet.

No, I don't hide money from myself either. I think that I am pretty responsible with the money that I have. I just put it into my savings account at the bank so that I can earn interest on it. But I can understand why people would hide their own money from themselves because they don't see themselves as being responsible with it.

Since I save money, I hide some at home. I use this for emergency purposes and I hide it in a wallet inside a cabinet.

I don't hide any money around the house, i just keep them in my bags or in my wallet,I might forget some money in my trousers pocket, in my jacket pockets but not in my house because i seldom brings out money in my house when i get home its time for me to rest so i've got no way to brings out money. Happy Lotting.

No, I have never hidden anything from myself, but I have very often hidden my money from my family members :D I don't know why I do this, but it just makes me feel a bit safer. Plus, I like to count my money every now and then to know how much I have (I have it all in cash).

hi artistry, that is common to every body,putting money some where and finding after so many days ,but it is better to have a piggy bank,there you can save the money,you does not know how much money in that piggy bank,so putting coins and note in that,some day if you require money,you can open and utilise it,have a nice day

hi! that's fun! actually my problem is that i forget where i put some of my money lol. so, i hide money that's allotted for something and there are times when i forget where it is when i'm looking for it. but it's quite a surprise to find it again. its also like finding money that was from your jean pockets that you wore weeks ago. ^^

I have never tried hiding money from myself. My memory is not so good, so if I hide money I might totally forget about it and never get it again. Also, there are lots of people in my house, some trustworthy and some not, so it's not safe to hide money anywhere in the house except my own room. That's why when I have money I deposit it immediately in my bank account.

Hi artistry, I don't do that. I don't want to surprise other people with my hidden money under the sofa or in the flower pot. However, I do hide my money from outsiders or strangers by depositing them in a bank. I guess no matter how forgetful I am, at least I know where my money is.

I dont purposely hide the money around the house. But once in a while, I may put some notes in the bags and forgot about it.. only to be happy and surprise when I found it later on :) I was afraid if I hide the money I may not remember and ended up losing it :) But what i do is I put my coins into this jar, just all of my coins by the end of the day and since its just small change I dont miss it much... And every couple of months I open the jar, count it out and deposit it in the bank It always surprise me how much I could actually collects in coins :)

I immediately smiled a wide grin when this topic came to my eyes. Yeah, I use to do hiding money when I was a kid. I had this thought before that my father would always advise me to it pays saving money. He said when in times of need, you have something to grab and spend for the emergency. I hide money under my pillows, under the television set, and even hiding money in a box that I hide in three trunks that I intentionally make holes and covering it with animal dung to hide the hole.
