are you part of the 24% who carries more than $50 in cash?

I drive a dump truck to carry around all my cash

I still need the system to help me buy a suit though

There are three places I use cash: The club, the bar and sporting events.

But mostly the club.

Hell yeah. Similar to shark, if I have less than $100 in my wallet, it's because I've spent it all in the club. :)

I used to be just about cash only but have loosened on that a lot, still always have cash on me.

I hit my credit union every Friday for enough cash to last me a week. That includes 1 strip club visit. I normally pay cash for anything less than $50 and the clerks at the credit union know that I want it all in 20's.

No, I'm part of the 6% that carries more than $200 cash.........

Yes.

To take this topic further I carry much more than $50 in cash with me wherever I go, usually at least $1000. To me, this only makes sense. Cash is fast. Cash is anonymous. Cash is powerful. Cash is convenient.

I hate being in a line at cash registers where everyone is paying with cards, particularly when small purchases like a cup of coffee are being made.

No paper trail when cash is used.

Cash allows you to bargain for better prices when you are paying for goods or services.

Cash remains KING.

The only time I'm carrying more than $20 cash is between the ATM and where I'm going to spend it.

I only spend cash at strip clubs and AMPs, everywhere else I pay with a debit card that gets filled with the amount that I'm planning to spend right before I spend it. I transfer the cash from an account that doesn't have card access via my banking app on my phone, that way if any of my debit cards get compromised, there is almost money available at any given time.

I do generally carry a $20 bill for the few and far between moments when you go to make a small purchase and the place doesn't take cards, then I hit the $20.

*almost no money* not almost money. Stupid auto correct

I have about $2,500 on me right now. Down from $4,000 a week ago.

I only have significant cash on me when I SC – o/w I normally have less than $50 on me – I tend to lose things easily and that is the main reason I don’t like to carry too much cash on me – on certain times when I may have a significant amount of cash for w/e reason; I will often leave most of it at home unless I’m hitting the SC.

I very rarely carry cash. The only two places I use it is the strip club and barber shop.

My mindset is this: why carry cash when a debit card is accepted almost everywhere nowadays and it's a lot safer to keep. Cash is easier to lose. If you get robbed, cash you ain't getting back. But debit and credit cards can be traced.

I'm a straight debit card guy.

Yeah, on an average day I carry $100-200 in my wallet.

Close to zero. My reasoning is similar to Vikings. I am more susceptible to be robbed then most people.

I usually have $60 - $120. I tend to pay cash for stuff under $20, because the finance industry especially fucks over merchants on small credit card purchases.

I rarely walk into an SC with less than $500 in cash.

I usually have about $100 in cash on me in general, because I also play lottery games and it used to be they only took cash on those and I just kept that habit. Also, with vending machines at work, they only take cash, so it's convenient for that. Plus it's not like places only allow use of debit cards.

I'm with farmerart on this one. I usually have $1k or more on me at any time and twice that amount if I'm heading to the club. This is probably why I've had many fun times in said SC's.

"The survey...found that 78 percent of Americans carried less than $50 in paper money"

Might want to check your math. 100 - 78 = 22, not 24

"Might want to check your math. 100 - 78 = 22, not 24"

Cash = paper money + coins

Apparently, 2% carry $49 or less in paper plus $1 or more in loose change.

I generally pull $100 from the ATM once a week or whenever I'm low. I use a debit card at the grocery store, but pay cash pretty much everywhere else. If nothing else, it keeps me from spending too much -- if I can see the money disappear, it's more "real."

I make a special trip to the ATM when I'm heading to a club.

I was within 2%, better than the treasury secretary doing his taxes before he got hired. Apparently with the current administration, if you don't screw up, you don't get hired. Maybe I should repeat another democrat "what does it matter?"
She might run for president. Apparently if elected, the people just love voting for people who screw up.
Shark for president?

lol

I don't want to be president. I'm not interested in screwing the American public flying all over the world taking wife and kids along at taxpayer expense, posing for selfies at funerals, spending billions our government doesn't have. I'd probably be a cross between Ron Paul and a conservative combo democrat /republican. I'd also make enemies among short term thinkers fixing long term funding for social security, Medicare, and healthcare in general. I'd gut certain government spending, possibly increase taxes on buffet, gates, and LMN a whole lot and reduce benefits in social programs over time so that the programs aren't all bankrupt.

Without a doubt.
