Where do you hide your money?

You could make a false bottom in one of your draws. It's quite easy; find a cork and cut it into quarters vertically. Take each of these quarters and stick them into the corners of the draw (you may want to cut them a little shorter depending on how deep your draw is) then find a piece of material that matches - or looks similar to - your draw bottom and cut it to size (this is the trickiest bit) glue a small bit of material to the bottom of the false base at the edge so that one bit of it is sticking up (this makes a tab by which you can pull the false bottom up to reveal whatever you hide beneathe it.) then pop it into your draw. voila! Birdie -

Hmm, you gave me an idea. Well, i think saving money from the bank is ok. But if i'm going to hide it in our house i think the safest place to be is in pictures frames. LOL. I think no one will bother to look in a picture frame. What do you think? LOL. Last time i tried putting my money in the bible. Which also works cause nobody's reading the bible. I mean we're reading the bible but sometimes it's just sit there. LOL.

Hi Aja! Why not "hide" or invest your money in a Cooperative? Not only you can safekeep your money there but you can also make loans with your money as your capital or collateral. Your money will grow like it was in a bank. Or maybe you can entrust it to one of your trusted friends? I hide my money in the bank and also some amount somewhere in my closet. I also have a bamboo coin bank which I just store inside my room. I also money in our office Cooperative. Aside from me, only my mother has a key to my room and she's not the kind who would lend the key to anyone even if they were my siblings. She knows how important privacy is to me.

Instead of hiding your money, why not just use it to start a small money-making business? Doing that, you've already hidden your money and at the same time, you gave yourself the opportunity to double what you have. You can also hide your money in books, like what I and the others here do. Inside your shoe seems also to be a good place to store your money :)

You may wanna consider getting a small safe.

Me, I usually hide my money in books, I put money in every page of the book and put it back in bookshelf, sometimes I put it in the old movie DVD case and hide into my drawer.. looks like childish but its effective for me nobody notice that there is a money inside of those things...

lol i don't really know. i guess i would "hide" my money in the zip compartment of my handbag. because for one it's nearly always with me, and two, even if someone were to look in my bag, they'd obviously check my purse.. and it wouldn't be there lol! :)

The best place would be to keep it in a wallet and to always carry it with you. You can also keep the money in the old greeting cards which belong to you so nobody else would open them. You can take any box from your home to put some unused stuff in it and then you can keep the money at the bottom of the box and some other stuff over it. I am sure nobody would even bother to look into that unused stuff.

I kind of knowing how you feeling about that aja ^_^. Its because i have a little brother that like to take my only small amount money. I usually hide my money inside the stacks of my DVD or other CD stacks. Other best place to hide some money is inside some stacks of books. Usually my brother can't find my money when i hide all of the money there except if i forgot to hide it. But be carefull though, because sometimes even i hardly find my money because i forget which CD/DVD or books where i put the money on ^_^ Hope you find the best place for you to hide your money...

Just like the first respondent, I also find the question funny At first, you sounded as if you are a robber or something.. Yeah, the bank is the safest place where we can store our money. Keeping a big sum of money inside your home is not a wise decision. You can never tell what could happen. Just to point out, it is wise to keep your money in different banks. That way, if one bank will go bankcrupt, you can still have something to fall back on

I can understand your situation...but i don't find any place safe in house.But i feel opening a bank account privately for yourself is the best solution!Informing your family members about this account is upto you.No one will ever know about it.Use an atm card for your personal withdrawals and online banking for other purposes.Hiding somewhere in the house(even in the most safest place)might worry you. Whenever you are out of home,you will be under pressure.So decide for yourself.

Hahahahaha...... I can relate to this! For me I use to hide my money inside the speaker in my room. I had this small speaker in my room having a h=1.5ft and w=7inch, I use it to hide my money and some valuable stuff. I use to open the back part of the speaker with screw driver and put my money inside. Lol...sounds funny but who would think that I'm using my speaker as a vault.

You could try hding your bills in a thick, boring book. It has to be a very uninteresting book so you do not have to worry about them reading it. Another way is to hide your money in your shoes. It has to be a pair of shoes that no one wears but you. I do this before. I hid ny money in my military boots (it was part of our curriculum to join basic military training or rotc). Place your money inside your shoes then place the shoes in a box. :-) But still, I would advice you to just put it in a bank because it has a negative impact in our economy if all of us would hold onto our money. It has to go back to circulation, if not, it can cause a shortage in our money supply. Thus, the central bank would have to create new set of coins and bills which of course, adds to the expenses of the government.

put your money in your CPU if your not using a laptop it would be the best place to hide it :D

A good place to hide your money so it won't burn if the house does is in the refrigerator, I think. At least that's what I've been told. I don't hide any money. I don't trust that someone might come in and find it if I did. I don't have enough to spare to give someone an opportunity to do that. And knowing me, if I did decide to hide it, I would think of the first place a thief would think of even though I though it was an awesome hiding place.

Let me laugh first. Interesting question. Are there any thief in you home so that you are bound to hide your money? Do you not trust your family members? Well, i cant say where you can hide unless seeing your home. lol. I keep my wallet always under the cushion of my bed and if my parents take money, they inform me later on and it does not affect on my wallet. hehehe... Have a nice time.

Well, although I have a savings account, and a debitcard, where I can manage my paltry "capital," do not hide the fact that I often have the cash that I keep at home. I, just to keep as a "secret" that I possess, I usually put the banknotes in an envelope, and hide the envelope, in the middle of my clothes in the wardrobe. None of my family knows where I keep the money, maybe one hand, it may appear to be wrong? Well, at least let my little secret!

The perfect hiding place is never known...but best not keep all eggs in 1 basket. PAzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...& happy hiding! :)

I find this discussion so funny! I used to hid my money in a secret place inside my house. It's only me who knew where I put the money. I hid it inside my closet, a very secret place inside my closet. I hid it there so that no one can get it, but then the security of our house was threatened when intruders came into our house last December. Although, they were not able to steal my money. I feel that it's not really secure. I made up my mind to invest them in the bank.

I think you better keep your room lock just to make sure that nobody enters your bedroom and get your things or your money without your knowledge. I usually keep mine on my cupboard, though I know that it is just easy to be seen if anyone really wanted to search money. I guess it is always better to put your money in your account, you can withdraw it anytime you need money.
