We have always heard that cash is king. But while there may be some truth in this saying, keeping all our savings at home may no longer be the best option.<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ever since currency was invented, the prevailing thinking in our society has been that more money is better. The <\/span>accumulation of notes and coins<\/b> has been a constant throughout history. People saved in case of bad times, they saved money in good times to be able to use it in bad times, in case they needed the money for an emergency or simply to ensure a better future for their children. Obviously not everyone has been lucky enough to be able to afford to set aside a significant amount of their money on a regular basis, but many people have had <\/span>small savings tucked away<\/b> in a bedside table, in a hidden safe, or, although it may seem a clich\u00e9 from another time, under the mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Security, the reason for the change in habits<\/b><\/h3>\n

Over time, the amount of money kept at home has gradually decreased. And this is no coincidence. The development of the financial system and the advantages it offers has allowed it to play a leading role in the <\/span>collection of savings<\/b>, relegating private safes to a certain ostracism. But why has there been such a drastic change in habits? The main factor is security, since it is a fact that, no matter how well hidden we may leave our savings, there is always the possibility of them being stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n

The other point to bear in mind is taxation, as keeping cash at home can currently entail certain risks with regard to the Inland Revenue. Agent Mireia Cano explains it to us.<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
