No secret stashes here.... but once in a while when my visa bill comes in, i hide it, then I write the check in the book for about $2k less than I actually wrote the check out for (ie...$5k check gets written in as $3k)... then I adjust the balance at some point...... She never checks that stuff.....
VOLK Wheels....those wheels cost like $500 for all 4 of them....

I pretty much hide it whereever i think to hide it at the time that I need to hide it. I have so much money hidden all over my house. That way if someone finds it and wants to take they will not get it all.

at first I was like 
or 
which probably would of made a more interesting thread 
First off my wife and I are college educated and work like 50-60 hrs a week in a professional setting. So when its time to let loose we like to do different things. We both have a joint account that puts in a certain amount of $$$ for the house but we each have our own secret stash of cash to buy toys
Now if she really knew about all the secret stash

I wouldn't say it was a secret stash, but I hold all of the savings in my accounts and my wife does not know what money we have in there .... We have a monthly savings plan in here name which is growing rapidly at the moment, but apart from that, she doesn't really seem that interested in what money we actually have .....

my mom has no clue how much money my father has.
she doesnt ask, he doesnt tell. if she wanted to know he would tell her, but she has never asked him how much money he has. l
she is just happy living the life he has given her
