How much cash do you carry?

[Pale Rider]

I never leave the house without some money, but how much?

Going back a few years, I aimed to have £50 or so.

Increasing acceptance of card payments for small purchases means I now carry less, but still like to have a note or two in my pocket.

How much cash do you usually carry?

 

[midlife]

None, unless I need a couple of quid to buy a coffee.

Always carry a tenner and my card, But i have had the same tenner for about six months, It looks like all pubs take cards.

 

[speccy1]

Same here, just rely on the card

 

[Mrs M]

Usually £10-20 and some change.

 

[NorthernDave]

A lot less than I used to.
No need now with most places accepting cards. Unless I specifically know I'll need cash, I'll rarely have more than ten or twenty quid on me.

 

[Globalti]

Never more than £50 unless I'm off on a trip when it can be a bit more in Dollars.

 

[PeteXXX]

About a tenner and a bit of change usually, in the waterproof case that has some ID in it as well.

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

Around about a grand if it's been a busy day.
My own personal money..........usually around £30 along with a debit card.

 

[TVC]

Normally £10-20, you nrver know when you will need an emergency beer.

 

[welsh dragon]

I like to have at least £10.00 plus change. You never know when or where I will need it.

I tend to get £50 out when I go to a hole in the wall. But that can last me weeks. Went up to visit family last weekend and took £100 out for cash for nephews and neice and to spend in my brother's pub. Took another £100 the other day for granddaughters Christmas money tomorrow. And I'll get a little more out when we go away for a few days Boxing day. Only for cash in pubs etc.

Depends where I'm going or what I'm doing. I'll usually take out £50 on a trip to the ATM and carry that around but it could easily last over a week, depends on small corner shop buys and pub visits.
My card provider doesn't seem to have discovered contactless payments yet so if they ever do it would probably change how much I carry.

 

[Vapin' Joe]

£20- £100.

It used to be £50 to £120 ish....until I dropped my wallet at work and someone retrieved £120 out of it and dumped the wallet. Nowadays, maybe £50 ...I dont know wny, I tend to just accumulate a few excess quid here and there.
