How much cash do you carry ?

[Tetsugen]

Went to a Asian place for dinner tonight that didn't accept debit or credit cards. Needless to say the guy in front of me and my buddy didn't have any cash what-so-ever and started freaking out at the old Asian lady who just kept on directing him to just walk down the street to pick up cash. The funny part is that it wasn't some huge $40 dollar order - it was 8 dollars !

That got me wondering, how much should a person carry ? Personally I think that the absolute minimum a guy should carry is $30-$50. That's enough to cover a movie date, or a cab ride home if anything pops up.

I carry $0 a lot of the time.

Credit / Debit card for everything nowadays.

[Jlude]

depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing.

If I'm at the casino or a club... then 500-1000. But if it's just day to day... then usually 20 dollars in my money clip.

I don't use credit for anything except to book flights.

I only really carry cash on me if I plan on doing something that could possibly require cash, or maybe ill put a $20 in my pocket so I can top up my tank once in a while..

[euphoria]

i usually carry less than $40 on a normal day, but i will bring more depending on the occasion. i try to debit when ever i can though...

I don't do business with people and places like that who defraud an already accommodating government. Those are usually the same places that dont' want to provide a receipt.

I usually have about $150 or so in case the cards get flagged or something stupid. I pay with the card as much as possible. Much less negotiable than cash.

kinda weird habit, but I've always tried to keep one of each up to a fifty in my wallet.

Pretty angry at that debit card aren't you?

[97'Scort]

Usually around $60. I've lost count of how many times I've been picking something up and the "if you've got cash it's cheaper" thing *cough cough* has come up. Especially with industrial supply stores near closing time. They're happy to sell you things if you've got cash rather than going through credit stuff.

I found that Calgary is not bad at all for not carrying any cash. Most places accepts cc/dc regardless of how much the bill is.

On the other hand, if you dont carry cash in Vancouver/Richmond, good luck getting ANYTHING.

[300zxfairlday]

i use to carry about 500 at a time until i realized blowing cash on useless shit is very easy!! now i only use debit and carry only 100 bucks which i use for poker tourneys

[TomcoPDR]

Up to $100 cuz I'm always scared of getting robbed.

Otherwise CC's FTMFW

In Vegas I'd keep between 1500-2000 at me, in Calgary I try to keep between 100-200 on me and a debit card incase i need mroe funds

[Godfuader]

Use CC for 95% of purposes. $40-$100 if heading out with a group and need to pay/chip in for stuff, and of course when the machines are down.

[eblend]

what is cash?

I have 0 at all times, credit or debit at all times, unless I am going out and I know I will need some cash, then I take some, but otherwise I will never have any haha

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I carry anywhere from $2 to $500 depending on the day.

I rarely carry cash with me. I find it disappears to quickly.
