Up to $50, but that's only when I've been to the bank or we are traveling. I prefer to carry less than $20 unless I know I'm going some place I will need cash (like the movie theatre today).

Up to $200, I guess. I usually get $100 from the ATM every week (for groceries and all spending) but occasionally carry more. Over $200 I get a little uneasy.

I hardly walk around with cash. I did have to go overseas once with $10k in cash and that was scarey.

Well I use to like to walk around with $200 and found I spent more that way,so i trying to get comfortable walking with $25.00 i found I spend less money that way,it's not easy to adjust to this figure, but it worth the challenge to see how much i can really save.

$0 - $20. I don't usually carry any cash on me. Unless I know I am going somewhere where I will need it.

On vacation, I take up to $1000. But, I don't keep it all in the same pocket or purse. In fact, last trip we split it up for several family members to carry in hidden places. I had done the traverls check thing, till a few years ago when we got to an area where no one would take them...

Normally, very little. As I know I can use a credit card if I need to or readily access cash if I need to.

I usually carry 10 to 20 dollars unless I am going somewhere that requires I take out more. I find that the temptation to spend is greater when I have more cash in my pocket!

AMEN!

When i'm at school, I take 6.00. Usually a five dollar bill and mixed change. This method is used to deter the urge for buying soda from the snack machine. (soda costs 1.25 and having one dollar is almost paradoxical - no one spares change in my school lol

0-20. any more and i'd be too stressed about losing it somewhere! that covers me for things i might need to pay cash for, anything else i pay credit.

Re: How much cash are you comfortable walking around with?

I so seldom have much cash on me so I'm not sure. Doubt if I'd feel comfortable carryiing more than $50.

Re: How much cash are you comfortable walking around with?

No more than $200. Anything else and I start to worry.

Re: How much cash are you comfortable walking around with?

None. In South Africa I did not carry such things nor wear jewelry that would bring attention. It would mean your life. Now in the States, I do the same. I only carry my check card and leave it at that.
