Can You Name A Good Place to Hide Money??  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. devideddi (583)   ranked 1,069 out of 32,957 in life 6 years ago

I am always needing to set back a few bucks for a rainy day. Maybe for emergency's or my medicines or the kids school pictures or field trip,ballgames whatever. When I do someone almost always finds it. I hear someone holler "look what I found' or "oh look, did you know you had this?" and I know what has happened. So far the best I have found is inside a picture frame hanging on the wall. That one has worked so far. Any ideas?

I suggest that you start a change jar and keep your extra money in there

You could get a fireproof lockbox from walmart for around $18 I keep my important papers in one


myLot reputation of 93/100. brihanna (295)   ranked 5,374 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

Of course, if you have a change jar and children, it is empty more often than full.


myLot reputation of 94/100. devideddi (583)   ranked 1,069 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

you're right about the change jar, I've tried that, but they are both good ideas,
thanks yall!

there is another idea u can hide them in ur bra if u women and if u man then u can hide them in ur under wear but a pocket must b there.


myLot reputation of 96/100. banta78 (3793)   ranked 5,021 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

I think it is funny though good idea to save money inside your bra if your lady and inside your underwear if your man. But i know some people who do that but i wonder what if it slips out when you adjust them if you feel itching. I think if yo have pocket there that might help. LOL.

Best way is to start a small savings account at a bank with a debit card. This way you can withdraw money from an ATM. You will also find it lasts longer since you tend to spend less if you have to go a little out of your way to get it.
If this is not feasible where you live put your money in a container and place it in the farthest corner of your freezer.

I agree with you...Further, you may invest it to have some extra in return that may boost your preparadeness for the uncertain future... if you like just hide your money and let it sleep, you may consider putting it at the back of the wall-clock.

yes actually, i do have a plce for you to hide your extra spending money and the only way someone will find it is if you tell them..
noone really thinks to look in your floor vents. i live in a mobile home and I have a very small drawsting bag and I have money in it with the string wrapped around a nail. when the air or heat it is in it does not affect it in any way.you can do it if you have vents on the wall as well. take the vernt off and place a nail below on the inside and wrap the string around the nail
my secret is out.
hope you can use the idea


myLot reputation of 99/100. Trace86 (3618)   ranked 19 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

That is such an awesome idea! I am going to look for a loose air vent and see if it will work for me. I know exactly which one I will look at first. There is an air vent behind the door in the unused bathroom that I use as a dressing room off the bedroom. Nobody goes in there except me.
Isn't it amazing the interesting things people can think of?


myLot reputation of 81/100. mags31ca (181)   ranked 8,667 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

Wow that is genius!!!


myLot reputation of 92/100. mkmissey76 (399)   ranked 4,804 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

Thank you


myLot reputation of 95/100. akuseru (2363)  6 years ago

This method works well for me, although I have a couple of ceiling vents that I use for it. I've also wrapped bills up in old vegetable bags and shoved them in the farthest corner of the freezer, under everything else. Inside a sock that's been dropped back behind the dresser drawers has worked, as has taping them to the bottom of drawers. I found $100 under drawers when I moved in September that I'd completely forgotten about. Let's see... I also had a stash in my bookshelf at one point, with bills inserted randomly in my paperbacks. That worked until my husband decided he wanted to read them. Inside the pockets of old pants that hang in the back of the closet, under statues that are on shelves, under the TV, inside video game instruction manuals... those are all good. I've also had a lot of success with an empty shampoo bottle that's kept in the back of the cupboard under the sink. Nobody thinks to look there.

wow you guys are great!!! Just the right level of sneekeness that I need. All of this is very good ideas!! Thank you!

I hide my extra money in an old coffee container under the sink with the rest of my cleaning supplies-NO ONE except me ever thinks to clean anything, so I have no fear that they will look under there and find it. Good luck-isn't life crazy, having to hide money on ourselves.


myLot reputation of 94/100. finlander60 (1070)   ranked 3,541 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

I like that idea. How about just starting a savings account in a bank that the rest of your family does not use? That way, you are getting paid while also hiding it from others. What about a safe deposit box in a bank, of course that will not pay interest, though. Good luck.

I have a separate "rainy day" savings account. That way, no one can run off thinking they found "free" money around the house AND it earns interest. The best thing is, since it's in the bank and not just laying around under a mattress, or in a coffee can, it actually isn't very easy to spend... so it's grown to more than just a "treat" jar, and into a real rainy day account - for things like car repair, or home improvement projects!

I hide stuff in a tampon box in my underwear drawer. I am sure that my husband and stepson would never touch the box let alone open it! Just in case they do pick up the box, I leave some of the tampons in it for weight. Nothing has ever gone missing from the box. Maybe if you have girls, it wouldn't be as secure a hiding place.

I do this too lol, Im the only female in the house so yeah I follow this trend knowing they definatly arent going to go in there hehe, its the best hiding spot ive ever had ;)


myLot reputation of 99/100. GardenGerty (35345)   ranked 26 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

This tampon suggestion was going to be my suggestion. Many years ago when I drove cross country once by myself, I hid all of my travellers checks in the tampon box in my toiletries. It was a lifesaver when I lost my billfold, as I only had about ten dollars in the billfold, and a couple of hundred in the car. The place I am hiding money right now is in my PayPal account, then hubby cannot sign up for any internet opportunities or autoships on it. It is a money market account and draws 5.02% interest. It is harder to access for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread, though.

Get yourself a zippered purse and put the money you wish to keep in it and then put it in your sock or underwear drawer. You should be the only one getting into those drawers. Then when you need it you will be able to access it while dressing and everything should work out.

My kids know better than to mess with my money I set aside.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Lindalinda (3181)   ranked 459 out of 32,957 in life  6 years ago

But if you have a break-in the underwear and sock drawers are the first ones to be ransacked. Believe me I have been through it.

Wrap it in butcher paper, write "liver" on it and put it in the freezer. No one will touch it lol!

If you have a pair of pants that you don't wear except for a special occasion use the pocket for a hiding place. That way they are in your drawer and no one else would probly think to go through your pants pockets of clean clothes. :)
