| We keep ours in a savings account. But it's just sitting there, not making any money. I was wondering if there are better options. |

| We keep ours in Internet bank savings accounts - Ally, ING. The interest is .75% or so, but it's better than nothing. |

Buried in the backyard in a Mason jar.

| There is no "safe" place to keep money that has a great interest rate. If there was everyone who be sticking it there. A savings account is just fine unless you want to put it in low risk mutual funds. |

In a fireproof safe in the closet, along with our passports and a couple of hand guns and ammo.
Not kidding. |

| Most money is between two savings accounts and the rest is in cash at three banks. |

In your closet! That's the first place that an intruder is going to go. |

I don't worry about intruders. The likelihood of someone breaking into your house is infinitely small. It's paranoid to worry about it. |

Plus, I want the safe with the guns as high as I can get it, so the kids can't reach it. |

Hopefully you won't die at the hands of the Crayton boys. And I bet no one on DCUM will get that reference. |
