My garage is so cluttered that I could hide a lot of things there. The
problem is, would I remember what I hid where!
Two more good hiding places: inside the spare tire of your car, and in
the air intake box of your car.

not that any of the others aren't. I knew a fairly well off man once who had lived through the depression as a young man. He was retired, but had been vice president of a Fortune 500 company for years. He reportedly had money, but lived very modestly in a very middle class house out in the country.
I asked him once about his secret to accumulating money. He said, " When I first started working, we would get a rest break for 15 minutes every morning and afternoon. Everybody would head for the snack machines and get Cokes and candy bars. I just went to the water fountain, got me a drink of water and went on."
Anyway, just before he died, he told his brother to go out in the car port and get the coffee cans that were up in the rafters. I had been to this house many times. This car port was open, no door and totally unsecured. The story was that there was thousands in cash stuffed in multiple coffee cans. He had money in the bank as well, but he wasn't putting all of his eggs in that basket.
With todays trend to 'Negative' interest rates, I think it's NUTS to place full trust banks.
How do you tell a kid that the 10$ per week you encourage them to spend is at the end of a year, less than 100$?
I'll spend it NOW, that you very much.
Too much is never enough
That's exactly what you are supposed to do. All that money in savings isn't being used to build the economy.
Spend, spend, spend and we'll all be rich.
The idea of spending yourself to 'prosperity' is odd to me.
If that were true, we'd ALL be rich, with the country being like 18$ TRILLION in the hole with no end in sight. Come to think of it, the PLANET would be rich, since the net Planetary debt to organs like the BIS (International Bank of Settlements) is probably over 100$ Trillion.
I THINK the idea is that the NET SUM of savings be used as a pool from which LOANS can be made to be paid back AT INTEREST.
So a business borrows money which when paid back yields 3 outcomes. Some profit for the Bank. Interest paid TO the various account holders and the PRINCIPLE remains available for further loans.Here is link to BIS. Bank for International Settlements. The clearinghouse, if you will for the planets DEBT. The Truth is buried somewhere in a pile of statistics and data reaching halfway to the moon.

I pulled her bedroom shade all the way down and hundred dollar bills started floating to the floor. She had pulled it down and then wrapped (stuffed) the thing with bills and then rolled it up. Just over $5000
before I rip the blinds off the windows and throw them away before I repaint a bedroom.

the room had wood paneling sort of like this pic . We found the stud behind it and cut the paneling that was against and in front of a stud, this at the top next to the ceiling. We reamed out the stud so that it had a rectangular hole in it and then the front wood panel ...my man ..made it into a sliding door.
When slid closed it was undetectable, to open it you simply pushed it inwards and slid it up.
Another nice pic!
