It depends. I withdraw about $200 (150€) whenever I go to an ATM and work it down to $20 (15€) before I withdraw more.
How much cash do you usually carry around?
Not much...ain't got much. Usually on payday ,after bills are paid and food is bought. $60 bucks untill the next payday. By then I'm broke agin. Especially if I hit the flea market,buying old books and vhs tapes.
$0...I tend to blow cash.
I rarely carry cash anymore since I started using a debit card.
I have about $1.25 in loose change in my jacket pocket, which is more than I usually have on me. :teddyr:
Amazingly, I almost never have any money in my wallet. Not even $1.00. My paycheck gets direct-deposited so there is rarely a need for me to go to the bank. I use American Express for about 90% of my purchases and I do most of my shopping online. So, I really don't need cash most of the time. At this moment, I don't even have a penny on me.
Anywhere from $5 to $50 I suppose. I don't really carry much cash. My wife does all the shopping, and I buy stuff online, or else at the convenience store where I use their credit card because I get a discount. That's just the "Could you pick up some milk on your way home?" type stuff. On those rare occasions when I actually go to the store alone, either I've got a few bucks or I put it on the American Express.

Make that .25 in loose change. Just used $1.00 of it to get a Snickers bar out of the vending machine. I'm such a spendthrift.

Then I get the big wad of coupons out of my pocket and lay them all over the counter and start going through them one by one :bouncegiggle:
Usually £10 which is about $7....I think :question:

That sounds familiar....I get paid every Monday and,since it's a day off,I distribute it to all the more deserving people. Like the electric company,the water company,the place we're buying a van,etc. I try to always keep about $20 for emergencies....and it had better be a cheap emergency. :wink:
Usually about 10 dollars or so. Rest of my money is on debit.
I'm very glad I'm not the only one putting a pack of gum on a debit card. I've been doing that s**t for years now.
I usually carry about $20 in cash for the week. I use debit for most everything else. Credit only if absolutely necessary. I hate carrying around coin change. I have a large pretzel container I throw my change in. When it gets half full, I take it coin counter places and get cash for it.
Using paper money and coins is often an annoyance now. I hate when I'm in line at a store (usually the supermarket) and someone starts counting out money to hand to the cashier. Especially women and old people (I'm not stereotyping here . . . I'm convinced this is a scientific fact). Women and old people usually strive to pay with the exact change. So they hold up the entire line at the cash register while they count out the money:
$47.53? Okay, here's ten, twenty, thirty, forty . . . five, six seven . . . and twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five, fifty cents. Wait just a second, I think I have three pennies." (Begins digging around in change purse or pants pocket).
JUST PAY FOR THE f**kING THING AND GET OUT OF MY WAY!
I try to keep a twenty in my wallet 'for emergencies'. I guess I'm being optimistic in assuming any emergency I may encounter can be bought off for 20 bucks.
When we do 'food runs' at work there are individuals who refuse to take cash. I've done the food run and dealt with people's cash (and change) - and it is a pain.
Just gimme a stack of cards to swipe.
I also find myself recently avoiding any grocery store that does not have the self-check out line.

Checks are great too. First dig through the bottom of the gigantic purse to find the checkbook, then dig through it again to find the pen (even though there's probably ten of them right there on the counter). Then start writing the damn thing out like they're doing calligraphy, and of course it's one of those checkbooks that makes a carbon copy of every check written out. and of course that doesn't work. So then they write out and entire second copy of it for themselves.
And then the inevitable:
"Are you a member of our cash rewards program?"
"Cash rewards program?"
"Yes, let me explain the benefits of the program and get your personal information so we can sign you up..."
AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!

Self checkout is the only one I'll use. I even prefer bagging my own groceries. Don't get milk jugs on top of the bread that way.
$60.00
Or, at least, it starts out being $60.00, as I use the ATM at the nearest 7-11, and it spits out $60.00 at a time. Then I spend that $60.00 as I need it, and when I need more I go back to the ATM at 7-11 and get $60.00.
Right now I'm down to $4.00, which I'm going to spend at the store, on the way home, for a jar of peanut butter. Which means tomorrow I'll be back at the ATM at 7-11 getting out another $60.00.
At least 50 bucks usually. I get 200 rent from my brother every 2 weeks and that acts as pocket money. I am well off enough that I don't need to put it all in the bank. I have no fear of being mugged. If someone threatened me they would have to pry it off my cold, dead hands. Even if they do they will not leave without a debilitating injury.
I have a $5.00 bill and two singles in my pocket right now. That's the most actual "cash" I've had on my person in months... and I'll probably end up blowing it on something stupid.
None, because I never have any money. =)
