Secret cash stash

[Tensai]

Prompted by a thread on divorce, how many of you have money put away that your partner doesn't know about, and more crucially, why?

Am I the only naive one who doesn't have a secret stash?

Poll to follow.

My wife doesn't own shares in the business and I only pay myself just under the higher rate threshold each year through divvis so it's all in the company.

I believe that there are still some countries where you can enter a bank, buy gold over the counter and then store it in the safes without too many questions. You used to be able to do that in Switzerland and Belgium; maybe you still can.

In the UK it's notifiable to HMRC over £5k in one hit, £10k a year.

However, I've also read that nobody actually does anything with that information.

No - I was naive too - then my ex got all the money.

So no stash then and no stash now

I have bank accounts in the diffierent countries I worked in. Hell I don't even know how much money I have.

I should check them, they could have been emptied, I would not know

Likewise. Only later when I looked at it I realised that she must have had a stash.

I have a jar of 2p and 1p coins - does that count?

OK but if you know you're pretty much headed for a divorce, can't you just walk into a bank and take out a shedload of cash and then hide it somewhere?

I'll happily check them for you? Just PM me your bank details and I'll even enter the details on a spreadsheet for you...
