<prompt> Human: Just to be clear, we have our necessities covered. Im not being a miser, I just dont want to be evicted if something expensive happens. My partner has kept us at zero for years.Before everyone starts encouraging me to leave, we are in counseling and at the moment I value custody of my kids more than money. Im hoping we can fix the situation and Im giving it time. Ive considered a safe deposit box, but its such a small amount of money 1000 that I cant justify the cost of a safe deposit box. It will be WW3 if my SO finds out I have it. So I cant receive mail or tax info about the money.I just have no idea what to do besides hide the cash.edit: LOL at how many of you assume my gender and offer relationship advice that I am not asking for. Im quite aware that this is a financial forum, and Im also aware of the fact that my relationship is most likely fucked. As mentioned, Im attempting to resolve the issue so I can keep my kids in my life. In the mean time, Ive gotten a few good answers, so thanks for that.  <response>: Everyone has already been giving you relationship advice, so to answer your actual question:Do you have a trustworthy friend or relative who can store this money for you?Could you set up a PO box and use that mailing address for the separate bank account?
