How much cash do you carry?
My wife always tells me I don’t carry enough. And no. It’s not an accusation I’m a cheapskate. Big Grin

I carry a varying amount. I add to my billfold in $100 incremants. Usually when it gets down to about $50, I add in another $100.

But then consider I don't have/carry a credit card. I hate them. But if I'm going out and we are considering buying something, I add in that amount. If its going to cost too much, we just use my wife's card.

I usually only carry enough for a days incidentals. Example, $10 for just enough gas to for a day or so. $10 for a cheap lunch or snacks. If I were to get robbed, the robber might feel sorry for me and give me some, lol. I mentioned being robbed, the most I'd lose is the $20.

Around $20. I use debit or credit cards almost exclusively, but it's better to have it and not need it than the reverse.

I’d guess $10-30 and under. Usually only grab more when I go for a haircut or similar scenario where I want to tip cash.

Since I'm retired, I plan the day accordingly with what I am up to. Usually I carry 40.00 with 1 credit card and a blank check.

I too add cash by $100, when that gets down to $20-$30, I add another $100.

Exactly zero cash in my wallet, but I do keep a Zip-lock bag with about $15.00 in change in my glovebox.

If I need paper money for someplace, I'll rob my gun cash stash in the safe. Frown
