Hopefully you won't die at the hands of the Crayton boys.

Not kidding.


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.

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

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.

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

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.
