My answer is to leave my money in the bank and use ATMs. I'm not comfortable carrying a month's worth of spending money on me in cash till I get to Bali anyway and I've never liked the idea of leaving that in a safe or safe deposit box.
I've also never trusted in room safes since I saw a room cleaner come and open it for me when I'd checked into a room. A little key and an over-ride code and he was in there in seconds.
My passport and other travel documents are all that get left in a safe deposit box for me. They can be replaced if need be. Cash can't be replaced.
