jnelsoninjax Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just wondering in this age of debit/credit cards, how many still carry and use cash. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403958-do-you-carry-cash/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrynalyne Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I always carry a couple hundred but only use it if cards can’t be. Otherwise, I use debit. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403958-do-you-carry-cash/#findComment-598616930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted January 9, 2021 MVC Share Posted January 9, 2021 I keep about $20 - $60 in my wallet and $60 in my center console of my car in case I need gas and I forgot my payment methods at home. +E.Worm Jimmy 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403958-do-you-carry-cash/#findComment-598616934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakjak Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 nope, 99% of the places I go, I can pay with my phone, and if not, my debit card gets used. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1403958-do-you-carry-cash/#findComment-598616943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew S. Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Haven't actually carried any maple leafs for about 5 years now. Literally have only held onto cash for about 1 hour total the past 2 years.

shockz Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Nope. Never. I don’t think I’ve even been to an ATM in that last 3 years. Before that I’d only take a 20 out to pay for parking when doing a night out and on the town, and now even those places support card/contactless.

Nick H. Supervisor Posted January 9, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted January 9, 2021 I probably keep about 100 francs or 40 pounds in my wallet, but I almost always pay with a card.

Melfster Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I carry cash but rarely use it. Mostly I use apple pay tied to by credit card. If the store does have apple doesn't have apple pay I just use credit card but that is getting rare nowadays.

techbeck Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Carry a little bit but rarely use it. And I hate hate loose change. Always good to have cash on hand.
