What are the best places for hiding money at home? Well, it depends on how much money we're talking about. If you have, say, $50 dollars, and you wanna hide this money in your home, then go into your bathroom, take an empty prescription bottle from your medicine cabinet, that you're about to throw away in the trash, and place $50 dollars in instead of the bottle, and place the top back on, and then place that bottle back inside of your medicine cabinet.

I'm telling you, this method of hiding works, because almost 100 percent of the time, nobody wants to mess with your prescription medicine, so no one else in your home, will even think to look there.

Now that I've told you what to do if you want to hide a small amount of money. However, now I will tell you how to hide a larger amount of money inside of your home. For example, say if you were trying to hide about $500 dollars from yourself, so that you want spend it or maybe you want to hide the money for personal reasons, then I have a solution for you. Wrap your money, neatly in some aluminum foil or Reynold's wrap, and then look for the best hiding place in your refrigerator, and place it in there. Your refrigerator has at least three or more areas where you can hide your money, and it's the safest area because if a thief ever broke into your home, the refrigerator is the last place that he'd look. Think about it, have you ever heard of a hungry thief?

When I was living on the West side of Chicago, in the hard of the inner city, where much of the violence still takes place. I learned that one of the best places for me to hide my money, is in my old pair of gym shoes that I am no longer wearing. In my neighborhood, nobody wanted to be caught alive wearing an old pair or dated gym shoes. The way it worked was if a new pair came out, then your gym shoes was considered dated and you wasn't cool if you was seen walking the streets, in yesterdays shoes. For this reason, I use to place my money inside of my old, retired pair of gym shoes, and then slide my gym shoes under my bed. A thief, especially, one from the inner city, don't want nobody's dated, pair of gym shoes. Also, a thief may not have time to go looking under your bed.

Now the way that I learned about these hiding places, is because, growing up, my family, and I had about three or four instances of getting our house broken into. See, we use to have some live parties at our house. So, our house, was where the neighborhood teens and young adults would hang
