Damn straight on the emergency get home fund. Started long haul trucking at 21, didn't even have a checking account then. Soon had a credit card with a limit that would buy me a cheap car if need be, always had several hundred, just in case, and an atm card . I was always determined that no matter where i was, or what my company said, i could get home. No depending on anyone, i had resources on me, now.
A later job had me working for a company that also did towing off the Pa Turnpike. Amazing the people that needed a tire or alternator, and couldn't come up with $200. In the middle of a big trip, and barely had adequate gas money. No cash card, no checks, no credit card. Sit in the parking lot for 2 days trying to get repair money, while eating the little cash they had. Some, I pitied, most where just stupid.

I say, hide it in the Rocky Mountains then write a poem to help you remember where you hid it. You can share the poem with Fire friends and see how well you hid it.

There once was a man from Nantucket....
I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.
I've made fake bird houses for "storing" various small items.
They are normal aside from the black screen that covers the inside of the entrance to keep birds and wasps from nesting.
No one ever pays attention to them.
Since anyone that has computer access can can see this, the birdhouse is now one of the first places I'd look if I were a crook or a cop. The cops here always look in toilet tanks, A/C ducts, phoney electrical outlets, phoney can stash boxes, sink traps, couch and chair cushions, pockets of clothes in closets, lots of formerly smart places to hide when they're doing drug raids here.
Just me, if I'm going to hide a pile of bills, It'll be out in the sticks in a non- metallic container. In a gnarly place where nobody in their right mind would want to go
I'm not the least bit concerned with anyone finding my birdhouses from a comment they read here.
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!
For all these shtf scenarios, why would you want emergency money tied up in the stock market? It will be losing exponential value every second it's in there and you won't be able to get it.
Plus when the bed wetters take over, the market is going to be the last place you want your money.
I heard of a couple that had a gold bar. They painted it red and put it in one of those covers that looked like a chicken. They used it as a door stop for decades.
How would you go about breaking the gold bar up to buy a hundred or even a few hundred dollars worth of food or gas, or, or, or?
I cannot think of a good reason to keep 30k cash on hand like that. If it gets to the point that you will need it, there is a high probability it will be useless at that time.

Just wondering.

Best place to stash 30k ? I use to keep it in the air ducts with about 30 layers of Alum foil and waterproofed. Would outside buried be safer ? Asking for a friend. Thanks in advance....I think....
P.S. I'm not interested in a safety deposit box.
P.P.S. I have all my other savings in all the right places.
Keep it close, in a charger.
