Had to choose between an envelope system and a locked safe for my cash
I was keeping my grocery money in an envelope but my roommate kept borrowing from it. So I bought a $25 lockbox from Harbor Freight in Austin. Now I have to physically unlock it every time I need cash, which stops me from impulse buys and keeps my roommate honest. Has anyone else dealt with roommates and cash hiding?

Oh man, I read somewhere that people are way less likely to take cash that's locked up (like the physical act of unlocking makes it feel more like stealing). Sounds like you found a solid workaround for your roommate problem though.

Man, that roommate sounds like a real treat... guess they don't teach "don't touch other people's stuff" in school anymore.
