I am in an office Super-Lotto pool (auxiliary retirement plan) that is $2 a week, so every 2-3 months, I give the organizer a $20 bill, and forget it. She has to keep reminding other participants to dredge their $2 out of the old wallet every week, and some are behind.
I went through the same thing when I ran the lotto @ work (anyone who wanted to play threw in $5.00) & I only did it when the lottery got above 150 million. Always amazed at how many people said they'd have to run to the cash machine during their dinner break, or pay me the next day/next week, etc
As for me, up until early 2014, I normally carried between $300.00 & $400.00 in cash. Back then I used cash for all my daily transactions. Now, I'm one of those credit card people I have one for gasoline 3.00%, one for groceries, 3.00%, one for dining 4.00%, & a Visa Rewards for everything else, 2.00%
I now carry approximately $100 in cash, more if I'm traveling over a couple hundred miles away from home.
