Do you typically carry cash?

Yea, but try to charge most stuff for miles.

 

Very rarely. Cashiers take forever with cash.

 

I always do when i have it

Always, I can't stand it when someone pays for a $6.00 item with a credit card.

 

One theory is, if you have (much) cash on you, you will spend it.

We would pay the bills on payday (online), and have a ton of cash left in the checking account, and our tendency was to spend about 80% of it on JUNK, and save 20%.
We flipped-flopped that, now we save 90% and keep 10% in the ck account.
If we ever need more, we simply do online transfers, which we SELDOM ever do.
And we don't believe in plastic unless we are on a vacation and have to charge flights, rooms and cars.

We's gonna be taking a heckuva vacation this winter....

 

Where are you headin?

 

Cash. Cash in only the largest denominations.

Million freaking dollar bank notes at that.

My bling is so bling even the Dents on the notes have phat grills.

 

I do when i can. I hate using cards.

 

cash only cards are for people living a life of debt

 

i agree with wiskey, i always use my card it allows me to keep track of where my money is going so i can track it and try to cut back in certian areas. If use cash, at the end of the day i wonder where it all went. For me using my debit card is just more convienent

I see my gf charge her card all the time so I started copying her. I probably carry 50 bucks in case a place doesn't accept cards.

 

Using cards could be even worse when it comes to spending for alot of people.

You hear those stories of families with 10 cards using several to cover the repayments of the others.

At least with cash you can see how much you're depleting.

of course if you do online banking, you can see precisely how much you're spending with cards in a matter of seconds.

So 50/50 really. I carry some cash, usually <AUD $200. I never withdraw more than $200 at a time, and if I have to pay for a big purchase these days I just use a card (I withdrew thousands in cash to pay for a watch years back when I had no card). I try to use the card regularly to improve my credit rating (e.g. petrol).

 

Never more than 100 € in cash. Lost too many wallets already.

 

When I have cash in my wallet. I blow it on crap. If I dont have cash, then its like, whatever. So I rarely carry cash.

 

there's barely any need to carry cash anymore. I usually have about 40-50 on me, but almost never more than that. I use the debit card for nearly all my purchases, because online banking allows me to track every single cent I spend.

I rarely use cards for food when I go out and eat alone -- the only time i'll use it for food is when I'm taking the girlfriend or some friends out to dinner.

 

Cash only. I rarely use cards.

 

About $80 cash. I'm not worried about blowing the cash....i have 3 credit cards

I'm more worried about someone taking my Dunhill wallet than the cash thats in it

 

I always have a few bucks on me. I use my card for most purchases over $30. Its funny b/c I never really thought about it, but the more I have cash in my wallet the more often I spend it on cr@p.

 

I keep a modicum of cash in the house (maybe a few hundred bucks) for when we want to run to grab an icecream cone or when the girlscouts come by selling cookies etc. But day to day I never carry cash. All my purchases either go on the debit card or if I am buying gas I have a company gas card.

The credit cards are used for hotel reservations and airline tickets almost exclusively.

 

Same here. Even for small amounts, many places have "Swipe and Go" type systems where anything under 25$ doesnt require a signature. As fast as cash on average. What drives me nuts is being behind someone writing a check...cue jeapordy theme music......

 

All the time; 80% of my day to day transactions are done in cash.
