Do you carry cash around?

I always carry 5-10k in case something "comes up".

What about you?

The cash in hand varies with the needs of the missus. If she needs, I don’t have much.

Normally just a bit of change in the car for the car park and a tenner in my wallet for a tip if need be.

Not trolling anyone, this is a legit question.

I've done this all my life and so many things have come up I wouldn't even know where to begin.

And where to look for them also

I’ve never needed more than a few hundred bucks in an emergency so dire I couldn’t get to an ATM, so that’s about all I ever have in my pocket.

Larger amounts stay in the safe.

ATM's haven't always been around and there's a limit to withdrawal.

Hence the safe.

I’ve never regularly carried more than I was willing to lose or have stolen. I’ve paid for a few cars with cash, but those were one offs straight from the bank.

Same boat Mon. I have 10k on my person at all times and sometimes 20k or so. Cash and an amex is really all you need to survive in this world.

Curious how this works, you have between 100-200 $100 dollars bills on you at all times? How do you carry it?

I guess it is because I am poor, but I really cannot imagine a time when I would need to have $20K in cash on me "in the event of an emergency" or "in case a business opportunity arises".

Unless you're doing something illegal no one needs 5-10k cash on them in a developed nation.

I keep a few hundred bucks on me most times.

But I’m thinking about altering that habit.

It’s really unnecessary with everyone taking cards at this point. I can’t think of anyone besides Peter Lugers that doesn’t accept standard credit/debit cards.

I always carry a few hundred in cash. I guess it’s habit, but I feel kind of naked without it.

I carry a small, minimalist cardholder with just a few bills in the center slot (usually no more than $20 in mixed demoniations). If I need to carry a large wad for some reason, I whip out my Superior Titanium mini-viper money clip. I use my cards and Apple Pay the majority of the time.
