Do you suggest we keep savings in cash and physical bonds, stock certificates and gold ingots under the mattress?

I pay cash often but even so I very rarely have more than $1000 in cash at any given time.

Which is smart because at least in the US there's a large portion of the country where police can use civil forfeiture to take your money, even if you are not guilty of any crime.

Not necessarily under the mattress but it is smart to diversify your liquid assets location
