Ideal amount of cash in your wallet

[SilentRavens]

2 x $20

 

[suse920]

around $150 to $200

 

[Koing]

£100 ~ $170

I don't like coins also so apart from £1-£3 worth of coins I put the rest in my money bottles. They are Oasis bottles 😛. I have 4 that are completely filled and one is 40% filled. I had some £10 and £20 notes in them before and I had loads of £1 and I counted and cashed £143 worth of coins in. Saves me having lots of coins in my wallet and making my wallet bulky and I save a bit extra £££.

I don't like having to go to the ATM all the time also.

$80ish

However lately I haven't been refilling my wallet with cash.
Few weeks ago we went to a restaurant to eat, 3 of us don't have any cash with us and the restaurant doesn't accept credit card. I had to run to the nearest bank to get some cash to pay for the dinner, it was embarassing.

 

[Sketcher]

100+ is norm for me.

 

[PastaPete]

$250 at least.

 

[GhettoFob]

$20-$40

I usually charge it since I get kickbacks

Yep. Everyone should use the credit card (wisely) to their advantage. Too bad I can't charge the mortgage payment to them each month! 🙂

Not more than you can afford to lose.

The only things I need cash for are the occasional soda at work, and $1 for dress-down day.
So, <$10

Teachers have to pay?

[EvilYoda]

I don't carry much cash on me these days, unless I'm going out to the bars or something...but ideal for me would be $30-40

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

I never carry more than $30.

 

[mugs]

$20-30, enough for a week's worth of lunches.

 

[erub]

if i get down below $20, ATM stat! but i try to maximize usage on credit cards for rewards (free money >> *)

 

[Bassyhead]

You people have money? If I have money in my wallet, it means I'm buying food, gas, or something else I probably won't enjoy spending money on.
