Getting rid of cash...

[tradewiz50]

Strange problem to have, but as I've mentioned in previous posts, I need to get rid of some cash before filing...my wife would like to buy a bunch of gift cards to various stores that we shop at and stockpile them for later. My view is that this is pretty risky business and would probably be noticed by a trustee...any opinions out there? I need to get rid of about $7K pretty quickly.
Thanks,

Wow I smell a fraud case in the makings.

I have a question about this, what about if I have an investment account for my daughter, and my younger brother?

Is that fair game for them to take?

If so I need to cash them in and hold on to that cash.

Is the investment account in their name or yours?

This is a question to ask your lawyer. Especially if its in your name.

No fraud here, not by a long shot. The money I was trying to hide is basically gone anyway, so that's not an issue. It's amazing how quickly we burn through the stuff...and no, I don't have a crack habit. Drink too much, but that's about it. I would guess my boozing costs about $100/month or so, but not enough to burn through that kind of cash. $80K just isn't that much for a family of 5, I guess. I'll post more details later on my monthly expenses...just wanted to post a rebuttal to tradewiz's accusations.
