<prompt> Human: I have been bartending for a couple years now, and really started saving money this past summer. Since June, I have put away 6,500 in cash into my nightstand, and thats without being frugal at all. At one point I was up to 8000, but then moving took a large chunk of that. Anyways, having a cash stash this large has started to make me a bit nervous. Is there any way I can deposit this money to my bank account without it looking suspicious? I have primarily been using the cash to pay for most things; rent, groceries, some bills, anything recreational. I dont know much about taxes and being audited, but I know its not something people in my situation would want. Any advice?  <response>: I dont think it would look weird if youre opening a new account and depositing money. Also, pay your taxes and then there is no issue.
