Reasonable amount of cash to keep on hand?

Not talking about in a savings account or anything.
Just cash at the house for hurricanes, good deals on _______, money the wife won't see you spend, whatever
I keep 1k. Just curious if that above/below the norm

I don't typically keep any cash on hand, but am about to start doing so. 1K is a good number, IMO.

Usually have 500-1k in the safe for an emergency. Or if I want to buy something and not feel guilty about it seeing it pop up on my cc statement ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

I would think @ 10% of all savings liquid and at hand would be a good number.

As part of our budget, we use cash envelopes for groceries (and related non-food items) and for "fun" money.
Otherwise, we don't usually keep cash in the house. My wife keeps $20 tucked in the back of her wallet, hidden. It's something she has done apparently since she was a teenager and her dad taught her to do that.

Guess it depends on the person. I never have more than $20 on me.
