<prompt> Human: Hello Reddit,I am currently a freshman at a branch of a college and am saving up to transfer tot he main campus next year. Besides saving up for tuition, I am saving up for money to spend for going out, buying clothes, etc. I currently work 3 jobs. I am a student worker at my university. Taxes are taken out and everything, but I also house sit on the side and work 1 or 2 days at a local horse barn. Both house sitting and the barn pay me under the table an I have been putting the money in various spots around my house. I know thats not safe, but I do not want that money to be considered into my FAFSA process and put in a bank. I do have a savings account set up for college and 2 bank accounts that my paychecks and some outside money goes into. So my question is, what should I do with this money to keep it safer? I was going to get a safe, but people can pick that up if we are robbed. I was also recommended a lock box at the bank, but I have not looked into that. Finally, a friend recommended a personal check system through the bank, where I had the money in and they write a check to me. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!  <response>: Youre asking for advice on how to commit fraud. The correct answer to your question is to open a bank account, deposit the money, and report the income on your taxes and the asset and income on your FAFSA.
