$40-$100 most of the time

rdmlondon · 30 April 2018, 12:20 AM

The powers that be are definitely making cash as unappealing as they can.

Here in the UK 5's & 10's are now synthetic not paper, 20's & 50's to follow.

These new notes don't carry in the pocket as well. They stick together and a wad just doesn't feel the same. Not as comforting or as easy to use as having a wedge of normal paper notes.

So another subtle push towards card use. Contactless is more or less hassle free.

All purchases fully tracked and the banks get a slice of every transaction, even if it's only a pack of gum.

I prefer cash. Especially in instances in which I am worried about my credit card info/fraud.

While I prefer cash, I usually end up using my card. It's hard to book anything without a card these days.

MinMay · 30 April 2018, 01:48 AM

yes...usually 100 because smaller restaurants that I go to only accept cash.

also, it's nice to give money to homeless that I come across.

watchwatcher · 30 April 2018, 03:54 AM

I try to keep a few bucks around for miscellaneous purposes. Most purchases I use a credit card, however.

Bagman · 30 April 2018, 11:14 AM

Eating out with wife & friends is a cash transaction. Business trips, luncheons & dinners are Amex.
I hope & pray we never get away from cash. I do understand the concerns however I believe “big brother” monitors us enough.

Usually carry about $500 to $1000 in cash. Don't like less than $500.

I too find it amusing to watch young cashiers struggle to do make-change arithmetic, especially if I add coins in order to make it easier for them. Many times it just confuses them more and their eyes get a little panicky, my bills in their hand, hesitating, hovering over the opened till drawer, staring down into it but not really seeing.

ejvette · 30 April 2018, 07:31 PM

3 or 4 hundred in a clip with my cards

Toby1E · 2 May 2018, 07:16 PM

Always carry a little cash folded around a card in a card wallet.

dmash · 2 May 2018, 08:07 PM

In Germany, it would be practically impossible for me to not use cash on a weekly basis.

TheVTCGuy · 3 May 2018, 06:06 AM

For those of you that don’t wan to carry cash anymore...

Send it all to me

lguevara91 · 3 May 2018, 06:20 AM

Never carry cash, just my amex and discover for when the place doesnt accept amex lol I like to get the points, dont even have a debit card.

OgSnowflake · 3 May 2018, 07:06 AM

Always gotta have a little cash can’t bribe your way out of a trip to jail with credit cards.

MattCH · 8 May 2018, 02:05 AM

Sad to hear so many people pro cards.... If you like to gift money to the banks keep going cards only. And for the ones playing the card "i get benefits back" the only real thing you are getting is an higher price on the goods you are buying due to the transaction fees...

Cash is freedom and privacy.

Lime · 8 May 2018, 02:19 AM

As the war on cash continues may as well take the mark

vipereaper30 · 8 May 2018, 02:29 AM

It depends on what you are buying. All transactions with a card or funds transfer are tracked, cash and crypto are anonymous.

I pay for everything in cash and rarely use a card and never a phone app.

meganfox17 · 8 May 2018, 04:00 AM

I don't owe any0ne any explanation and it's really none of AnyOne's business how Meganfox17 wants to spend her money!!!

Rolex addict · 8 May 2018, 04:10 AM

I carry a little bit. Use plastic more than anything to build points.

Larry302 · 8 May 2018, 10:43 AM

$500 to $700 on,me at all times , more in the gun safe and bob bag. Cash is excepted at more places then plastic . I pay cash for all home and car repairs and save a good bit as most guys prefer to stay off the books .

If we ever went to cash Less it would cost me plenty , I’ve not paid a guy by check in twenty years, cash gets quite a discount .
