    I look at cash as something to hold onto or keep for something awesome! If I have it in my wallet I am a miser with it... keep it folded and in a secret compartment..... if that SAME amount of money is in my bank account, I thinking NOTHING of using my debit card and spending it... LOL

    For me, cash is the ONLY way I can save for anything.... if I put it in my bank acct to "save it", without a doubt I will dip into it for stupid stuff

    I figure out how much cash I want to spend each payday, then write a check to cash at the bank. I rarely use an ATM.
  • I hate my debit card. There have been times where I have had 800 dollars in there and the damn card gets declined at a store or for gas for whatever Goddamn reason. So my hubby and all pull all cash out of the account except 100$.

    Cash is wonderful!

    I usually pay with my debit card everywhere I can, I don't see the point of carrying a lot of cash with myself. I just get 20-50$ (just made a simple conversion from the currency around here) to have for situations where I can't pay with card (like going to the farmers market).

    At the bar usually 100. I do this at least 5 times a night.

    I never carry cash. If I need it for something specific, I only take out that amount.

    i usually take out $500 on Fridays at 1:30pm Eastern Time. I do this at the work ATM at 123 Merrifield Plaza on the first floor in Franklinsberg, VA. I always wear my maroon hoodie. I am 5'6" tall and am balding . I also do not carry a firearm.

    Depends on who's dancing that night and how many 1's I need.
  • Almost never carry cash. It's 2012. If a place doesn't take Credit/Debit they're a joke and I'm not giving them my business.

    I try to take out most of my money and only leave enough for online bills. I put half my money in a sock and use the rest for groceries etc. I do not like to use cards at all.

    We almost never use the ATM, maybe twice a year? We take our spending money, grocery money and miscellaneous monies out on paydays.

    I typically like to buy things with pennies. Unfortunately, the ATM does not have this option.
  • I thought this was about logging the calorie burn from taking out cash...

    15 calories burned per transaction unless the person behind me honks the horn. I take longer then. Usually 100 calories burned.

    Usually $200, and that will last me about 3 weeks.

    Plus, I don't spend any $5 bills. If I get any in change, they go into my vacation jar. It adds up quick!

    I do that with all silver change and singles. It does add up quickly!

    I take out $180 every two weeks. It must cover groceries and anything fun I might want to do.

    That's right. Because I don't roll my change. I carry a big bag and like to slide each penny, one by one, to the cashier. It's awesome.

    I either use debit or credit cards to pay for things, once in a blue moon i will take cash out or get cash back on my purchases if the kids need money for pizza or sub day at school. Otherwise i NEVER have cash on me.

    They still have ATMs? Dang, when I need cash (A very rare occasion), I usually just get some cash back with my groceries.

    All I have in there, minus bill money. SO about $700-$800 a week. I only go once. For the next few weeks though it's all over the place cause I got my compensation money so I'm taking out thousand at a time.
