Where do you keep your money?

i have a bank account (savings for a car), my wallet, and a jar beside my bed (for a new laptop mine is dying by the minute)

wait is this just a ploy for us to tell you where are money is so when you break in you just have to go to our money piles!?

Poor laptop. Lol no this was supposed to be an advice thread for those who keep money in other places but my wording didn't make it come out like that.

Kammm
When I first started working (9 or 10 months ago), my hours were EXTREMELY varying. When I officially got hired, I didn't work in that department for a straight week. Then I got called in to watch some videos before you go into the department. Then I remember not going back to work for days. There would be weeks where I would only work 1 day a week. This happened for like a straight month atleast. Just when I -thought- I got more hours, maybe 2 or 3 days a week, I would go back down to 1. My hours for the month of February have been steady, 3 days a week, but when there's no big bakery holiday my hours are real slim. I never made enough in the begining to manage a bank account. Idk the requirements for the bank I'm eventually going to use, but if it's like 'you gotta desposit 100$ monthly', that would be a little hard for me.

Plus at this point in my life, I've grown very accustomed to being able to physically count my money, I don't like the idea of my money being a number on a screen.

I have a checking account as well as a savings account. I try not to keep too much in the checking account, just enough to pay bills. I also have credit cards that I use regularly as opposed to a debit card. I would qualify that as money as well!
 
When I got my bank account, I had money from a savings account my parents had set up for me as a child. It had around ?3,000 in it. I’ve set aside ?1,000 for emergencies, and the rest is kinda just to live on until I get a job (which should be very soon).
 
I keep most of my money in a bank (like an actual bank, not an online one), but I like to keep about $20-40 in my wallet in case I go somewhere that doesn't accept debit cards.
 
What money?

Just kidding. I keep part in the bank and part cash. I don't allow myself to spend anything on my card unless it's a large and carefully thought out purchase. That way I know what is being spent. Tiny purchases on a card add up so quickly, it's nice to physically see what you're spending.

Yeah agreed, I feel like I can feel the impact if I make a big purchase if I can hold my money. Or, ya know, I guess not hold any if I spent it all.

I should probably get out of this 'physical money' mentality, there's lots of things that need a bank account and a credit history to buy, like cars and houses.
 
My checking account. My boyfriends checks go to the bank, and I save a percentage of my tips and put it into the bank account, and keep the rest in my wallet so I don't have to use my debit card when I go places.
 
The bank. Or in my wallet. Usually when I get tips (rarely) at work they'll float loosely in my bag for a week or so until I finally shove them into my wallet. I'm one of those people who gets anxiety in line so I don't want to fuss with my wallet and get my money into it and hold up the line so yeah, I just shove it in my purse until I have time to deal with it...

My bank money gets to cuddle with my fiance's money because we have a joint account. It makes me feel adult for some reason. Like, that's something married people do...

Omg I do the same thing, or shove/fold it in my wallet for a later time. I hate having to put away my money in lines, it's not easy. The coins I can usually get in the coin thingy. I WOULD toss them in my purse but my phone is in there and I have a few scratches on my phone screen from random loose change.
 
i keep the vast majority of my money in the bank. i also keep some spare dollars in a drawer.
 
no where cause its usally gone pretty fast
ok but seriously i have a bank account and paypal (but i usually transfer it over to my bank because i think its safer)
i also have a small box i save money in for ac switch (and maybe amiibos or other stuff they will release with it) which is at my boyfriends house so i dont touch it haha
 
in the bank haha. I have a checking and savings account.

I very very rarely carry cash around with me. I have change in my wallet, but really no paper money.
 
I keep most of it in my bank, with a few notes and change in my wallet.
 
most of the money i get from work get put into my bank
any commission money i get goes to my paypal and usually just sits there

if i get cash tho, i just keep it as cash in my emergency cash money stash, or currently on hand tho

so ig it mostly depends on where the source of money was?
 
nice try fbi. You'll never get my stache as long as I'm alive! *dives out window*
 
In the bank and my 401k. I never have cash on me. I love the eye rolls using my debit card for under $5 purchases. Haha. At least I'm not writing checks for $3.50
