Smart to keep $25,000 in a checking account?

What about off shore bank accounts?

Think that is even more apt to trigger a SAR than a cash withdrawal.

all news media reporting Romney has many millions there ... if it is good enough for the bankster owned Obama and Romney, why can't the real Americans do it?

I've experimented some with stashing things around. First you've got to remember where you buried it. Then nature would have had to of missed it. Critters have a way of gnawing things up and carrying things off. You may want to experiment yourself with something your not to keen on anymore.

Maybe take a photo of the spot.

btw, for those taking the "bury it" route, I suggest putting the cash in a cast iron safe of some sort first.

Seems to me that you'd have a pile of rust within a few years if you buried cast iron.

Damn ya'll all this talk of burying money in the back yard sure gets the country boy in me excited!

Haven't read much of the thread, but wouldn't it make more sense to take the $25k, convert it into gold, and then bury it if you were to go that route? Paper dollars would continue to lose value and not hold up well if there was a breakdown of whatever vessel you chose to bury them in.

I am picturing the scene in National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation where Eddie (Randy Quaid) and Chevy Chase are digging all over the yard to try to find coffee cans of money Eddie burried because he didn't trust banks.

With 25K, I'd take a loan for 24,000 minus 6K down for 20% payment on farmland next to river



Buy some Gold, Goats(cheap), Chickens($2 each), Canoe, Fruit Trees, Pecans, Greenhouse,

That's what I'd do with 25K. Your primary investment is in excellent land with Riparian Water Rights.

that leaves you with 19k and 5 acres of land

That's a potential road to a made man.

What concerns me is that property rights are under attack in America. People are being foreclosed on by the banksters illegally, in the largest land grab ever; then sold to foreign investors.

I think I would take the money and buy land in Nicaragua instead. This is becoming a popular destination for ex pats, which is driving up the cost of property. But still far cheaper than the U.S. imo .

If Romney or Obama win, here is where I suggest we go ... The Liberty Island

The money you deposit in a bank is no longer yours. Look up the agreement that accompanies the signature card.

Do you have a link for one of these online? I can't find anyting on it.
