Do you trust banks to keep all your money or do you stash it in the house?

We split our money amongst a big bank (which I don't really like) and a neighborhood trust bank (which I do like). We have enough on hand to handle just about anything that would come up on a week-to-week basis.

Keeping some ready cash at home is not because we don't "trust" banks. It's simply common sense, just like keeping an extra bar of soap or some frozen dinners on hand.

Insofar as the electric infrastructure continues to work, banks are a good place to store your money. But I also keep a 5000 dollar emergency fund in my house.

I bury it in my yard.

I don't trust banks at all.
