Mod - Please feel free to move as not sure where to post but to me it is an "investment" of my life savings and not deposit related etc.
I need your advice please - I am really stressed and I know there must be others out there thinking the same thing. I have worked hard for savings for many years and now I fear that the gov guarantee means, well I don't trust it.
Cash deposits savings are everything I have.
No property, no gold, no shares etc etc. Just cash in irish banks.
I dont want to buy property as I cant afford it. I want to have some cash in the event that the banks do not deliver on guarantee or my savings are turned to a new irish punt.
I think hiding cash in the house is just as risky as a bank so what about somewhere in the garden?
What do you think of seperating cash in euro(german notes x)/dollar/sterling/singa dollar/swiss franc and sealing it in a plastic bag put it in a biscut tin and making sure to remember where I put it? Or what about storing in a swiss bank safe(maybe this is a worse idea but anyone with any genueine suggestions please tell).
Are there seal proof waterproof boxes/safes to hide in the ground?
I feel this site is the only place where I am likely to get a sensible answer so please do not post unless you have genuine advice and not having a laugh at my knee jerk reactionary thinking. I am a regular reader and find this site a great resource, so please, please help!!!!!
I will not be putting all my money here but just over half my life savings, but I feel it would help me sleep at night. I do not care about interest rates as keeping the capital 100% safe is my ONLY concern until this euro/world banking crisis calms down.
