Cash? (1 Viewer)

[fantasycurse42]

Do you carry cash around? Typically how much?

I rarely have more than $50 and at least half the time $20 or less... I use a CC for just about everything at this point, paying cash leaves you unprotected.

[Parrothead]

yes.. usually 25-50 bucks

 

[The Hank]

I normally have around $20

 

[fred_1_15301]

I usually carry around a grand in case I run into a casino

 

[belljr]

0 to 200....

unless I know I am going out somewhere

 

[BroadwayG]

1500-5000

 

[SacramentoBob]

I'd say I have $0 in my wallet as often as I have anything else. $5 in there right now.

 

[jon_mx]

I can't stand to have less than $200. I am more careful with cash than plastic.

This is very true, much more careful with cash... Sometimes I go through my CC statement at the end of the month and just think about all of the wasted $$$

 

[Sarnoff]

Usually 60-120 on hand.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Dr Gobbler has kept a c-note in his front pocket for about a year now just hoping that tim will reach in there to grab it.

 

[KCitons]

I keep $100 bill hidden in my wallet for emergency. Otherwise, I will have somewhere between $5 and $75 in the money clip at any given time. Never zero.

 

[jamny]

When I get below $20, I usually take out another $100.

Close enough.

 

[Jobber]

Usually 60-120 on hand.

Same.

I don't like whipping out the credit card at certain places, or to certain cashiers.

 

[E Street Brat]

I haven't carried cash in years. I use my debit card for everything

 

[Quint]

usually less than $20 on a given day.

will hit the ATM before going to the golf course or to the pub for pints though.

One day you may find yourself on the wrong end of a gun, with nothing but a handful of credit cards to offer in exchange for your life.

 

[kutta]

Always over $100. I can't stand not having cash.

You might get shot while trying to explain what a bitcoin is

I had stop wearing these bc I kept getting held up at gunpoint

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Now no more than 50 bucks, when I played poker several thousand wasn't out of the ordinary. I won a tournament a few years back and it paid out around 16k, it was hard to get into my pockets.

 

[Gadabout]

Usually around $100 because most of the bars and cafes around here are cash only.

 

[Amused to Death]

Cash. Start with 200-300 from the ATM on payday and reload as needed. I know I would lose track of how much I'm spending if I relied on cards. I'm almost embarrassed to admit my daughter had to explain to me how to use my ATM card as a debit card at a cash register last weekend.

Me: I gotta stop at an ATM before we pick up the hoagies.

Her: Just use your card to pay.

Me: ??

Her: Hand her your ATM card, say "credit" or "debit"

Me: At a deli?

Her: sure.

Don't understand how a business is cash only at this point... Even if they save in other spots, they are still losing revenue.

The phone-case wallet is the best invention in the last couple of years. Once you ditch the front pocket wallet, you'll never go back. It's extremely liberating.

 

[John Bender]

Almost never... Unless I'm going somewhere that needs cash only

Haven't carried a full size wallet in 5 years... The card holder/money clip is amazing

Do yourself a favor and switch to the phone case wallet. No more having to remember both. I had a similar clip/card holder previously, and the phone case wallet is light years better.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

over $200 usually

i know 3 people that have had their bank accounts drained recently, due to identity theft. i HATE putting in my pin number anywhere and i don't like to use cc's.

 

[Gr00vus]

I've got $5 on me right now.

 

[shadyridr]

Rarely more than $5

This...i have between 200-300 at all times. I think this came from the days when i traveled a lot. Need cash for tips, cabs, etc. Just easier than waiting for the cab driver to give you a dirty look then hand fill out the CC slip. This is becoming less of the norm these days i know, i guess i am just old school.

 

[avoiding injuries]

Depends on how much my wife had taken out.

I was actually in this situation once when I was in college

 

[Marauder]

I usually have around $100 but I rarely use it. The only reason I keep it in my wallet is because there are a lot of Asian businesses and restaurants near us that are cash only and I don't want to have to find an ATM when I need it.

 

[AAABatteries]

I'd say I have $0 in my wallet as often as I have anything else. $5 in there right now.

 

[LinusMarr]

Always over $100. I can't stand not having cash.

I usually have $80. Not sure why i pick that number at the ATM but thats how i roll....

[tonydead]

~$300 for the times I don't feel like using a card, like at a bar where I might forget and like to pay as I go. Otherwise I use the card as much as I can so I can get 2.1% cash back.

Most robbers will allow you to drive them to an ATM for withdrawal. That's why it's best to carry cash around $50 bucks.

 

[MAC_32]

Depends on the day of the week. Most of my personal training clients are cash only, so later in the week the more I have. Right now, $142, over $200 by sometime Saturday. Groceries first then the rest is fun money. I have found I am more frugal at the grocery store when I use cash instead of credit. Usually spend it all be Monday then start over again.

 

[tommy300]

At least $100 at all times, you never know if you're going to need cash...All tips and typically all money spent at bars is cash.

 

[Ilov80s]

Rarely do I ever have cash. I only get some if I know I will needing (valet parking, etc)

That's pretty close. Actually, I have $80 pinned to a cork board next to a picture I printed from the Internet of a morbidly obese couple drinking smoothies. It makes me giggle every time I see it.
