I was remembering today how exciting it was as a kid to see my dad pull a wad of bills out of his pocket to pay for something. Sad to say, I have deprived Colter of that childhood joy. I almost never carry cash. I depend on my debit card pretty exclusively. This has made actual money even more exciting to Colter, since he rarely sees any.

Cash? yeah right and lose it? It's hard enough to keep up with my debit/atm card.

I usually carry cash in both currencies, Dollars and Pounds, I also use my debit card for almost everything and rarely I will write a check for something.

We do a mix of debit, checks and cash. It all depends on the amount of money in the bank. Straight credit cards? Nope.

Most of Asia is still a cash culture. It took a bit of getting used to when I moved to the region in 1998, but now it seems more convenient than signing the receipt then keeping it around to compare to the statement.

I'm a cash kind of girl. Rarely do checks and never credit cards.

Yes, I usually carry $20 - $40 on me. I need cash to pay for miscellaneous items like lunch at work. I have a very complicated system of budgeting, and I wouldn't be able to track my savings very well if I frequently used debit cards.

Usually only 10-20 dollars at a time. Lillianna still says, "Just get money out of the ATM." I have explained this a million times:there has to be money IN the account before I take it OUT! lol :)

Gotta have cash in case you need to stop at Chik-Fil-A for a bag of chicken sandwiches.

Actually, when we have less money, I'm more likely to carry cash. It's sort of a way of making what we have to spend more tangable and it helps me keep track of what we have.
When we've got lots of money, I use my debit card almost exclusively.

Usually, never more than $20 at a time. I always take the minimum from the ATM. I still have my debit card, though!
