| What is a good way of hiding my money from being taxed/on the system, while keeping it liquid and easy to transport. I had tens of thousands recently, but this prevented me from getting income support, so blew through most of it. Now I'm back to square one. I've thought about gold (heavy not very l... |

Try working a 40 hour work week and then another 10 hours a week working a second job PLUS doing all the chores and cooking and cleaning at home. It's absolutely exhausting. That's what vodka cocktails and DVR marathons are for on the weekends.  |
