    Re: How much cash are you comfortable walking around with?

    Usually less than $20. I don't use cash for anything. Sometimes I will have $40-60 on me after a trip to the ATM, but usually not much.
    (DH says is sitting beside me and says I have been known to keep the same twenty in my wallet for weeks at a time. Who wants to break a twenty for a buck or two? it's a spending deterrant)

      On any given day I have $1-$40 in my wallet, usually around $20 though. I've travelled with $150 cash in my wallet before... but I prefer to keep less on hand and use my debit card for any purchases.

        I don't keep any money in my wallet, I don't have a wallet I have a man's purse which I keep my credit cards I never pay cash for anything I always use my Discover card and pay it off at my Sears store on the due date, never get a late fee and get to earn more interest on my money in my Emigrant account.

          I'm okay with up to $200 and after that it is split between hubby and me if we are on a trip. Usually I have less than $20 and he carries nothing. We made a business trip in Sept and the guy paid us $4000 in cash that we hid in a bag that we kept our reading books in. Got home in the dark and couldn't find that bag for awhile>insert 5 minutes of panic<in the back of the trailer! Yikes, I don't like carrying around large amounts.

            I don't carry huge amounts of cash with me because I don't want to be tempted to spend it. I honestly don't worry about it being stolen, comes from working in a high security area with a lot of surveillance cameras!

                I usually carry $20- $30 in cash. I buy gift cards though my kids school. I use my credit cards for the rewards.
