You might want to rethink that safe. I have a friend who thought his money was good in a safe, but it turns out the safe was stolen and his money and belongings are gone.

I keep a lot more than that in a safe. Buy a quality safe, secure it with long floor bolts, keep it smartly hidden. That is usually enough of a deterrent for petty thieves. And I have no idea why a criminal mastermind would waste their time with me.

Why keep your money in a safe and not in a bank? If things are so bad that the FDIC can't pay up, your money is probably worthless anyway.

I do a lot of cash deals. And having my money in hand right now is infinitely more convenient than going to the bank every time I need access to money.

Bank stole it all.
Went to check the account and the bank stole all the money in bogus fees.

Some people (like me) don't let anyone else ever have control of their money. Other people put some in banks and investments but like to have some readily available at all times.

It's FDIC insured. Even if some bank idiot steals all your money and gets away with it, you're getting it back. Money in the bank is just about as liquid as cash. If the bank happens to be closed when you need more money than the ATM will give you, write a check or wait until the morning.
The risks of not putting your money in a bank greatly outweigh the risks of having it in a bank.

Wrongo. As I've posted in other threads you can lose money and DEFINITELY be under incredible stress by not having control of it. We are creatures of our experiences and once someone has gone through what I have their perspectives would likely change.
