Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KnightStick: Imagine having such a mundane life that this is a story you feel worthy of telling to strangers on the internet. It's a cautionary tale imo. Not getting a sandwich isn't an emergency but not being able to buy gasoline could be. Every grown man should have a little emergency cash in his pocket at all times. |

I have seen it many times with cc systems going down. I prefer cash because I don't like being tracked.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Mech2007: I was up in Cambridge, MA a few weeks ago visiting my son and we went to the one Square near Harvard. We decided to get something to drink and went in the one Asian restaurant. When I paid for our drinks, I used cash and got a reaction like I had tried to pay with beads and shiny rocks. My son told me that I was probably the first person to pay for cash since the place opened. |

I keep cash at the house, hidden in my car, and on my person. It's come in handy more than a few times. Usually during power / internet outages. It also allowed me to pounce on a few good gun deals from individuals.

I usually carry around $500 on me.
If travelling several thousand is not out of the question. My cash is never in my wallet. Usually in one of the cargo pockets of my 5.1.1 pants. I have had a debit and credit cards since 1986. I also have my cards loaded onto my iPhone wallet so I can also tap to pay when available. Technology is not infallible which is why I carry cash at all times. |

Putting a cup of coffee on plastic is pretty stupid IMHO. I don't think that is the real reason. When I asked at places like ticketing at school sporting events, cafeterias, and the like that have been transitioning away from cash to plastic only, the main reason I was given was they don't want to do cash for security reasons. They don't want opportunities for theft from the outside or from the inside that comes with cash. Some people are just too tempted when around/handling cash... |

His advice was to keep modest amounts of money in different places around the car, so when the policia stop you, you can say “this is all I have.” |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By runcible: What's the point of cash for small purchases? (And what constitutes a "small" purchase?) I recently told some youngster cashier that I was not going to finance a cup of coffee (or whatever petty thing I was buying). The place didn't take cash. She looked at me like "finance?". I said, yeah I'm not taking a loan for a cup of coffee. You know a credit card is a loan, right. (Deer in the headlights). Yeah, pay the CC in full every month, I get it bro. But the point remains. I carry cash because it makes many situations so much easier. And it makes me a better tipper, too. $7 purchase, round up to $10 bill. OMG! That's 43%. And petty cash. And friendly. |
