Public Comments

1. 20 bucks the rest should be in a bank
2. depens if your going to tell me where u are hiding it lol
3. $1000 to $5000
4. a few hundred. The rest in the bank.
5. Under 100 or whatever you can afford to lose if it walks off.
6. It depends on your security system and your faith in humanity.
7. Zip
8. where do you stay and i will come over and let you know...
9. depends..do you live in "Hells Kitchen" ?!...or L.A. ?!
10. as much as your OK if you lost it.
11. well i would say 50 bucks becuz the rest should be in the banks and also you need some in you pocket
12. Find out how much cash your home owner's or renter's insurance will cover in a loss. That's how much it is safe to keep.
13. If you live in east London, no amount is ever safe ;-) Of course I am stereotyping etc (but I'm a cockney too). Erm...I would have thought maximum £50/$50 whatever...
14. I usually keep around $200,000 in unmarked $20 bills at home. Ya know, just for emergencies.
15. any amount.u can keep it in a locker or a closed and safe box
16. It really depends where you live. And how safe your housemates and/or roomates are. also on how much money you spend I used to carry about $1000 in my wallet when I was rich Now I probly have $100 in change at home or so.
17. 2000-3000 $.for spending.
18. Depends on how much you are talking about. If you have a safe in your house, a few thousand dollars would be enough. There are many factors to consider, like how much you need at a moments notice, what area you live in, whether you trust banks. If you can help it, no more than a couple thousand.
19. I don't see why you couldn't keep any amount at home that you want as long as it is in a place that no one would find it or no one knows about it.
20. I think 400 is enough...just in case anything comes up such as a mobster threating to chop off your brothers pinkie for the cost of 400 dollars because of his debt. Save the pinkie please!
21. Cash money is "dead"money because it isn't earning interest. Any more than 100 ( dollars or pounds) would be excessive. Especially when ATMs are everywhere these days. Burglars have an uncanny- almost unbelieveable- ability to find cash in a house. It's almost like they have a sixth sense. The only people who keep large amounts of cash are the guys who have something to hide.
22. Hi there ! There is no "hard and fast" rule for that..But it is advisable to keep the money required for the next one week (approx) at home. But this too, you should keep in two different places. At the most accessible place, keep only 10 or 20 ! Remaining at a more safer place. By this way, you can minimise the trips to the Banks / ATM to one per week on average. Try it out.. You will find it very convenient.. best wishes..
23. all of it ! just send me the address to your home, your phone number and where you keep your $$$ hidden. i'll send you mine. that way if you forget where you hid it, call me, and i'll tell you where it WAS! lolololol
24. Whatever amount you are willing to comfortably lose just in case someone breaks in and robs you...
25. About £100
26. As much as you need to pay for cash items. The rest should be in the bank. If you have an ATM card I would rather use that than keep large amounts at home
27. None if you got a wife like mine lol
28. Ideally, your money should be in a safe place, i.e. a bank or a home safe. That being said, the maximum you should have is $200.
29. The only time money is in my home is when I and/or my husband are and it happens to be whatever amount is in my purse and my husband's wallet at the moment.
30. I would only ever keep around £50 in the house for emergencies. The rest is invested or in the bank. Not worth risking losing it.
31. If U own a safe put it all in a safe otherwise what ever you feel like keeping I keep it all in a bank hubby keeps his in his wallet I use my debit card to buy things.Good Luck
32. The safest place for your money is in the bank. Use an ATM/debit/visa for your purchases. I keep less than 25.00 on me at all times. That way I won't over spend and if I lose it or if it is stolen, then I'm not out too much. You can always go to the ATM or bank if you need more.
33. There's no need to keep a lot of cash around the house. You can pull some cash from the ATM or for bigger purchases you can put it on the card. The only need for cash is if you're up to something naughty. If you have to keep cash at home get a small safe and don't let anyone know about it.
34. none, even a northon rock acc's better than 0%
35. Only enough needed for `essentials`. I use cash very rarely, i use my credit card and pay the whole lot at the end of the month with one cheque. It is easy and safe. I do have an enormous American safe, that I bought many years ago, because it is fireproof, there is no money inside it, just my precious things. The things that would be irreplaceable if my house burned down, old family photos, letters mementos, important things.
36. SINCE MY CRIDET IS NOT GOOD ENOUGHT TO HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT I KEEP IT ALL AT HOME I DIFFERENT PLACES INSIDE AND OUTSIDE 32,000
37. It depends on the size of your mattress
38. Check your household insurance policy, and it will tell you how much your insurance company covers for cash. Don't keep any more than that in your home, unless you can afford to lose it!
39. Check how much your contents insurance covers you for. Probably £500- £1000. If you keep more than this, you will not be able to claim back in the event of a fire, for example.
