mcbigski Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I typically have 100 +/- 80 in cash. Though when the poker rooms are open around here, I may have rather more than that. Have been charging a lot more of my small purchases though since March so really haven't been to the ATM much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for purchases, or just in case I feel like hitting the Hold’em tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for purchases, or just in case I feel like hitting the Hold’em tables. My local re-opened last week. Limited tables, and hours, and 7 max, So if you don't get there prior to opening, you could wait hours and hours for a seat. Only have about a quarter of tables open because plexiglass barriers needed per health department and/or gaming commission. I went once, but I don't like wearing a mask for hours at a time, so while I'll still play some, it's not the default nothing better to do idea that it was.

Larry of the Lawn Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 As a fruitarian, I of course carry around a brimming bag of seasonal fruits and nuts to trade and barter with local merchants and tradespeople. Nature is abundant in coin, the shit literally grows on trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mlle. Zabzie Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 $150-200. I could probably get away with a lot less. I like tipping in cash where I can though (eg in the jar at take out places, deliveries etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I say Twenty? What I meant to say is my agents typically carry no less that $50,000 in various currencies and precious metals whenever I, ah, go to the store for a jug of milk. That's it.

Here even if they don't have card readers they usually have a phone number set up for Swish so you can pay via mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Depends on where I am. If I'm here in the UK, then 30-50 pounds. I've been carrying change in coins more often here because when you work the night shift, you need them for the vending machine overlords. This changes if it's not a normal day - where I just go to work and come back - if I'm headed out for a drink/ seeing friends, probably 50-80. If I'm back home in India, then you need to carry cash in hand, or you're going to miss out. I'm not someone who can carry no cash in hand, maybe it's a product of growing up in places where you *needed* to have cash in hand. Also, I feel like there will invariably be a situation where I need cash so I always like to have some in my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I keep all my money in cash under my bed. It cured Magic Johnson of AIDS FFS!!! Before covid I tried to keep 20 bucks in my wallet, pretty much exclusively so if I ended up playing pool at this bar around campus I could get change. Then again, the bar does have an ATM (albeit not my bank). I remember a couple years ago a friend had his "bachelor party" (it really was just a bunch of us getting together once everybody got in town, including the bride) at this dive I'd never been to and it only took cash. But, again, it had an ATM (which I needed). A couple pizza places in Pitt only take cash too - I've always suspected they're mob fronts. But, still, they have ATMs. Other than that I can't think of any reason to have cash, albeit around campus there aren't any "street vendors" per se. When I used to take taxis I'd always be sure to keep $40 just in case. And wayy back when I lived in DC from 2003-2007 I'd keep more than that as some dives still only took cash back then. I think. I don't know, maybe I'm remembering wrong. This is starting to hurt my head. ETA: Oh, whenever I fly and travel to a city I don't live in I always keep $200. It's almost always entirely unnecessary but it's just one weird thing I'm anal about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martell Spy Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I carry about $100 in my wallet. I almost never use it. I pay with cards/ It's for emergencies or to give away. One thing I've had happen to me numerous times is for a fast food place with their payment service down and they won't serve you if you can't pay cash. Also had some scary moments where I almost didn't have enough funds for bus money when I badly needed it. I used to have many thousands of dollars in my home. Not the greatest thing, but there was a real chance the government could seize my bank accounts due to student loan nonpayment. I no longer do that. Oh yeah, last time I took a cab about ten years ago, the guy wanted cash. He drove me to an ATM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fury Resurrected Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 In my pockets on my person I carry a check card, a credit card, my ID, a chapstick, and a small box knife. No cash at all unless I expect to need it, but I keep all my cash tips at home until they don’t fit in the box I put them in. I don’ t carry cash or a purse and women’s jeans don’t let you carry much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few places i have encountered that was cash only is a men’s barber shop My barbers were but since Covid they've started taking cards.

Maltaran Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I normally have around £30, mainly because the local corner shop has a £5 minimum for card payments so if I just want a loaf of bread or some milk I need cash to pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
