and very easy to find. At least if your credit card is stolen, you are likely to be reimbursed for the fraudulent charges that were incurred. If you leave your wallet with a thousand dollars in cash at the beach, kiss it goodbye.
That's for now. The credit card companies might decide not to reimburse anymore just like they have done to retailers that accept cards which used to be reimbursed for fraud.

I can't live without cash in my pocket. Can't do it. What if I have the urge to go to the casino? Always keep at least a dime cash in my freezer. Good hiding place. Nobody would look for cash under my ice cubes.
Tomorrow I got an oil delivery at the house. Going to pay cash, $628 for 200 gallons. That's about a $50 break over paying by check or credit card.
You never know when a good deal is going to come up. People are hurting for money and if you've got cash, then you can hustle a profit. Got to have cash. Cash is still KING.

I keep cash around, stupid as f*ck not too, just don't carry it around unless you need it. Keep some at my local casino too, but the reality is I predominantly use cards for the rewards and what not...
then again I'm 33, but I do remember the "sponges" ten years ago for sure

Paper money is slowly on the way out. A proposal has already been made to do away with the One Dollar Bill and make a one dollar coin. But larger than the Susan B Anthony dollar was, this will save millions.
And we don't need the 100 dollar bill anymore either. Just as they eliminated the 500 and 1000 dollar Bill years ago. This would help control the Big drug pushers. They cannot charge that much on a credit card. Yes, they may steal them, but they are traceable.

I agree with Club, I buy with a credit card to save points, which are even redeemable for cash. I get 300.00 cash free every year. But you must pay off your bill in full every month. If you don't that discipline, forget it.

I make sure to pay cash at the gas station. Use a debit card, they charge you .35 cents to use the card, then another ten cents a gallon. I know it's not much, but the more people don't care, that's when they raise it to .50 for the card, and .25 more per gallon.................

Me and a buddy came home from deer hunting (back in grad school....long time ago). We noticed his place had been broken into (noticed the computer gone when we went in the back entrance). We went out and got our rifles.....went into the house (idiot thing to do.....know that now). He had a bunch of stuff stolen and the freezer was open with some frozen items strewn all over on the floor). We pretty much walked in on the burglars. Lucky we didn't get killed.
Anyway, the cops told us that people often hide jewelry in the freezer and that's probably what they were looking for.
Moral of the story? Find a better hiding place for that dime!!

Nothing wrong with this at all. If someone is going to give you free money, why not take it.
I've opened up about 5 credit cards in the last year (I know it doesn't do wonders for your credit rating, but I could stand a little hit). I was moving so I had to buy a lot of crap (Menards, Home Depot, Home Goods, etc., etc.).
I made a purchase with each one, paid 'em all off the next month, and destroyed the cards. I think I saved about $250.
I've bought the following items "no interest" and taken a "loan" out on each (paid it off the last month before the interest kicked in:
Car (72 month loan...one year left to pay and only has 55K miles)
3 TV's
Lasik surgery
Select Comfort bed
Furniture
About $45K worth of stuff....all no interest.
If they are going to let me keep my money for 6 to 18 months, I'll gladly do it.

Besides food/gas my main payouts each week are my local and the racetrack. Why pay money to spend money with plastic? Anywhere in the world you can find someone to accept a $100 bill.

I always carry at least 60 and try to have small bills in the mix too. I use a card most the time but there are instances, tipping people, older vending machines, where you gotta have it. It seems like the responsible thing to do to have some cash just in case.

It's obvious that we are on our way to becoming a cashless society.
The counterfeiting is so much easier today with the new printers, which has forced the government into making newer currency every few years, costing billions of dollars.
Mightiestmojo just stated that he carries about 60 in small bills. The penny and the dollar bill are obsolete. Dollar coin, and a credit card is all we need. Eliminate the 100 dollar bill.. as we did the 500 and 1000, and 10,000 bill.. Just have 5, 10, 20, 50. and a credit, or debit card.

Think we all have a moocher or two in our circles.They can be rather crafty.
Yes they can be. I have a friend that I love like a brother, but man is he a moocher. I have to constantly remind him of what he owes me. He always pays though.
I rarely carry cash because I'll lose it. I use debit cards for all my transactions. I don't borrow money, so I never need cash.

I also learned that if I carry cash, it gives me a chance to waste it. When my friends want to go in for pizza, there's always that one person that doesn't have enough. And guess who gets to pay that? So then I pay $8 and eat three pieces of pizza if I'm lucky. darn it... I tell them I'm not hungry, then I go home and make a sandwich that costs me about $2.00, and it's healthier.

Cash will always be king because drug dealers only accept cash. You think Malik will take my credit card when I want to buy some crack? I don't think so!

This is a gambling site right? how do you pay a local with a credit card. Suffolk downs does not have an atm and will not take credit cards . the government tracks all electronic transactions do you want big brother knowing everything you do ? I hate the friggin fool buying a 3 dollar coffee in the morning with a friggin card you are holding up the line dickhead just have your 3 dollar bills ready order your coffee leave the change as a tip and be on your way. if you don't have the measley 3 dollars in cash for a coffee go darn yourself and get out of my way . You should pay all your bills via money orders so the government cant track you .
