I usually have about $130 – $200 worth of cash on me at any given time.
But the problem is that when I carry cash.. I never use it.
I always use my credit card for points LOL..
In fact, I always end up depositing all the cash back into my bank account to put back into savings, to use it to clear the card each month.
I do find having cash handy at times though. Once I had to pay for some bill in full, and they asked for $200 in cash. I had the exact amount so it was easy.. but phew!
Imagine if I didn’t?
How about you? Strictly cash? Mostly Credit (with clearing it later)? Or a bit of both?
