    I always carry my credit card for emergencies, but cash is my preferred payment method. I used to carry all of my money on me at all times. Sometimes upwards of a thousand dollars. I have found the only way to curb my spending habits is to take away my option to spend money.

    What is your stance on carrying large amounts of cash you?

    It's rare I ever have more than $20 on me at a time. Usually, less.

    I rarely ever carry cash on me. I pay for everything by debit card. It's quick, it's easy, and I tend to spend less on wasteful things than I would if I were to have cash on hand.

    I carry $60 - $70 at the most and I keep my purse with me at all times. Usually though I'm lucky if I have a dollar in change to carry in my wallet. Fucking gas prices!

    Well, being seventeen, I can't legally have credit cards. So, I always carry my cash with me... Usually less the thirty dollars unless I know I'm going to purchase something at a larger price. But I don't think I will have credit cards... They scare me. lol

    ditto

    I find it's a lot easier to spend money when I have cash on me, than with ahving to use my debit card. I have a credit card too, but I'm trying to use it less and less, and finish paying it off (small limit but I'm bad for nearly maxin it out on a regular basis, so I'm really glad it has a very small limit)

    I only deal in cash (no debit or credit cards).


    I don't like to carry a lot on me because i'll spend it.
    What i do is lock most of it in a safe place that only i have the key for.

    Works for me.
    Well it would if i had cash to store away at the moment...

    I usually have about $20 on me. I use a debit card for anything else. I haven't bought much other then essentials in a few weeks.

    I go through thrifty phases and broke phases.

    enough for buss fare to get home or to someplace i can legaly sleep, and maybe enough for some kind of a nibble. credit cards cost you a defacto 'service fee' every time you use them. credit in any form is defacto indenture.

    i don't own any. my wife does and i'd swear she doesn't begin to comprehend the concept. but she does know not to spend more then she knows she has comming in. so it's not THAT kind of a problem.

    but what she does pay over a year's time to the credit 'industry' (a euphamism if there ever was one, since i fail to see how a bunch of sharp pencils sitting on their assess add value to anything) adds up to enough to buy any number of useful things we live without because that's what it gets spent on instead.

    just cuz I buy cheap booze doesn't mean I don't have money to carry around. I just don't like spending shit loads of money on expensive alcohol.
