Watch "It takes a thief" on the Discovery Channel and see if you think it's a good Idea. It's usually on nightly at 6 pm EST.

All depends on the amount. Enough money for the next week of expenses is probably reasonable. That would include groceries, tip money, etc. A months worth of money is too much. Get an account that will give you some interest on that money. Even if it's a couple of cents, that's better than nothing.
Don't keep your money laying out. Keep it with you, or put it at home in a 'relatively' secure place.

I wouldn't keep large amounts at home unless it is secure in a safe. Don't let anyone know you keep money around if you have to keep money in your house. Don't do it if you have lots of people in and out. You can take your money to a bank.

The FDIC (Federal deposit insurance) protects the first $100,000 of deposits that are payable in the United States. If you don't plan to use it for a few months, you could open a CD or interest-earning savings account with that money so it can earn interest. There are plenty of reputable financial institutions that offer an internet savings rate or CD rate of 4.5% or higher. You can look at bankrate.com to see which bank local to you is offering the best rates or use their savings calculator to see how to grow your money.

Yes, but to do so safely you need to make sure:
1. Nobody else knows that you keep it.
2. You don't keep it in the traditional places. (For example...instead of keeping it in a bank envelope in a dresser drawer...keep it in a plastic sandwich bag in the freezer. I'm sure you can think of many other good hiding places.)
