I was cleaning out my room and I found an envelope in a cookie jar with $180 in it. The envelope read: "LL's Money for SF Trip. Do Not Touch Until Trip!" I totally forgot about it!

As much as I throw out stuff to goodwill, I simply cannot store money in random places anymore.

My parents said to invest in a small safe, but I don't really want to spend money to put money in it.

EDIT: I sent my brother a message asking if I can borrow his safe. That's the polite thing to do. He is away on military and he has a kiddy old western safe that doesn't lock, so I asked if I can borrow it.

Any other ideas of what to do with money I do not want to put into a bank?
