This reminds me of an "incident" that happened in Italy in the mid 2000s: an old lady passed away and the heirs found the equivalent of few 100.000s Euros stashed in the house; the problem was that all that money were in old Italian Liras (the currency Italy had before Euros) and the Italian Central Bank did setup a deadline (I don't remember exactly, but I think it was 2 years after the 2001 switch to Euro) to be able to convert any sum from Italian Liras to Euro; of course when that lady passed away, the deadline was waaay over, so all that money was no longer convertible and therefore useless.

My grandfather hid money in his drop ceiling. They had a house fire. Fortunately the fire department contained fire quick enough.

Personally I would have kept my mouth shut and spent that money 💰 🙃

Yea, live off the cash and invest 100% of your salary until the cash runs out.

Two things: 1. I hope that is not truly James from Nashville, but some Ryan or Tom from Houston Texas at least LOL. 2. "What should I do with 500k that are going to be gently handed over to me" is the kind of problem I would like to have.

[@JA-zh5xi]

I would leave it out of the bank. Use it for groceries, cars, things you need over time. Maybe convert some of it to gold and silver.

[@Corkfish1]

Exactly. Thats assuming he didn't include this on his tax returns. I would slowly wash it. If he has documentation showing that this money is after tax he could even deposit it into a brokerage account.

I read about a man in his 50s that started investing in stocks and real estate, then retired in 2years with over $6million, that right there is my utmost goal and I'd really appreciate clues and tips on how to reach this goal within 5years.

Everything is possible, it all depends on your consistency and discipline.

It is essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable

[@troeschpeter7120]

You're young and that is a good advantage, use it wisely. 1. Limit your spending/cut off retail therapy 2.Put the extra cash towards investing in high yielding or steady investment. 3. Get a financial coach/mentor to guide through your investing goal. These might look simple but they require good amount of willpower, but through mentorship, I've been able to consistently grow my portfolio to $800K and I'm looking forward to retiring at 50 as well and I only wish I started up early. Goodluck.

no it isn't. It looses whatever inflation is if it isn't earning interest.

My uncle buried money in coffee cans in the backyard! He was a dairy farmer and had tons of cash.

[@TexasGirl1633]

I use to work with a guy who didn’t want his wife to spend it so he buried cash in his backyard! Only one other person (his dad) knew it was there.

[@TexasGirl1633]

@E Cox I had no idea where he lived! I just worked with the guy.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

He just wanted to flash that cash while he was driving around in his Corvette 😎😎😎😂

[@grayandgray]

It's a mistake to go talk to a banker about "getting prepared". The bank is fully capable on the day you walk in with it. More importantly, this is a secret to be kept tight. Only work with Dad to try and get it secured. People talk and word would get out eventually. Just the old "you wouldn't believe it a guy came in today talking about his dad's cash hoard" and they tell two friends, etc. until it reaches the wrong people.

[@DurpenHeimer]

Yes, the bank has money counting machines that can easily count 500k in one day. But just for courtesy, a notice is always nice for the people working.

[@debrahill7911]

The market is too unstable. CDs and bonds are worthless, because they can be sold overseas. They may also lose value if you need to cash out early.

regions did away with private banking a few years ago, I know because I used Regions and had a private banker. She lost her job and went to Old National, so I went with her.

[@theplaintiff5450]

I work in banking. Do NOT deposit this all at once, no matter what. The bank will be breathing down your neck for years after you break that 10k level. It’s called a SAR. You are better off sitting on it and spending it over time.

[@janhatcher6991]

I hope at least he has a big safe and has it locked in that. I agree, there might be more in the backyard that you don't know about. Kind of strange that he doesn't want to just put it in the bank.
