Stashing cash in your mattress, but in style?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
It’s long been a joke that in tough economic times, there’s no better bank than the one on which you sleep. In fact, a classmate of mine back in West Virginia swore that his grandmother, a product of the Depression, kept all her cash in her mattress.
That expression now has a trendy reality.
Hollandia International, maker of luxury sleeping systems, recently introduced a “Safe-T” bed, complete with a safe under the mattress, storage area for a flatscreen television and a security system.
According to Hollandia’s website, the bed was originally designed for a customer who wanted to keep a handgun near him for security. That sparked the idea that other customers could use this type of bed for different types of valuables.
The Executive Safe-T bed costs a whopping $20,400, but perhaps a bed such as this is priceless for the wealthy and paranoid?
For those folks who don’t have $20,000-plus to spend on a bed, check out a few other options for managing your money.
