Re: people who don't carry cash
I'm with Omaha. I always here " I don't like to carry very much cash on me". I always say, "How many f'n times have you been mugged in your life". If I was a mugger and all you had was two crumpled Ones on you, I'd stab you in the face. I carry about $80. If I lose it or get robbed, it won't be that big of a deal.

Re: people who don't carry cash
This leads to another rant.....people who constantly borrow money (or expect you to buy rounds at the bar!) and never repay. This irks me to no end........I hung out with a group of friends who would always take turns buying rounds. One guy would conveniently go to the bathroom when it was his turn to pay. We got fed up and finally had the waitress wait for him right outside the mens restroom. He walked out and she stood there with her hand out. He never tried it again!
At my former company, the head of our dept. would often times lunch with me and my boss in the company cafeteria. This guy makes big $$$$ but never had enough cash on hand to pay for his lunch, so my boss would pay. We're talking $5-$7 each time, usually once a week but many times twice a week. He never, ever paid my boss back or offered to buy him lunch. Stuff like that just really irks me.....I guess I was raised differently.

I feel the same way.omaha_red wrote:i just think everyone should keep a couple bucks in their pocket..

I carry a money clip with my spending cash, which usually isn't a whole lot. Then I always keep at least $60 in cash in my wallet that I never touch unless I need it. Most places take cards now, but some still do not.
Plus, if I get mugged, I'd rather hand them $60 or whatever in cash out of my wallet than them taking my credit cards, ID, phone, whatever. $60 is worth not having to hassle with replacing all that crap.
