!

I carry £60-80 with me and have an extra £10 folded away for taxi fares/ emergency's.

Depends on when I last got paid. Usually $400-$1000. Once I get up above that I'll put it in my safe instead. No, I don't ever use banks. All my checks come directly to me and are immediately cashed. All my earnings stay in my hands.

Less than $20, and frequently less than $10. I just don't buy my lunches, snacks, coffee, soda, or small little things very often.

About $30 for the entire month. The rest I put a mileage earning credit cards.

I keep $20 in my wallet and then the rest in my money clip. When I get below $20 in my money clip I'll withdraw $40. I guess I have anywhere between $20 and $80 on me at any given time.

Unless I have a specific reason to need cash, $0. I keep <$20 in my car for when I go through the drive-through at fast food places.

Ditto. I just keep 10 or 20 in there for emergencies...some places still don't take cards.

I withdraw $100 at a time and withdraw more when I drop below $20-25. I probably average around $60. I use cash for routine, minor expenditures.

I've got about 600 dollars on my right now. I guess I'm in the minority - I work for tips, and I don't deposit them into any account - it makes a paper trail. I pay for all of my utility bills in cash.

In the course of an average week, it's not a surprise for me to not touch any green at all.
