I take it out on Friday because I'm most likely to be going out to do some spending on a Friday or Saturday night.

I carry my debit card and a credit card, never have cash. I don't think I've touched any cash in about 2 months. Haven't written any checks outside of church either. Credit for gas, groceries and online; debit for everything else.

I usually carry between $20 and $40, plus my credit cards and debit cards

I like to keep about $20 on me. Like to keep some on me to prepare for times when I can't use debit/credit, but not too much to reduce the risk of losing it.

I usually get $100 or so at the TYME machine (ATM for you non-Cheeseheads), and reload when it gets below $20. I use a credit card for pretty much every purchase I can, as long as it's around $10 or more. I'll use cash for fast-food lunch and other small purchases.

I carry about $0 in cash usually.

If I'm on a business trip, I'll grab 20 from the ATM, but that's about it. I can think of only a handful of cash transactions I've made in the last three months.

I don't need a big wad of bills to worry about. If I'm going on a trip in the car, I'll take along a lot of money, but otherwise I almost never have more than $10 on me.

The last time I was carrying a big wad of cash around, I was in Vegas. In one of the clubs, I gave this Dancer a $20 to do a lap dance for my friend...It was his bachelor party. She asked like three times if I wanted her to give him the $100 special. I said nah, we're just getting started. Well he didn't freaking come back for like a half an hour, and he was quite pleased. Turned out I had given her a C-Note by mistake.

There are a few places that I've run into... not the norm but becoming more prevalent as I stray from the 'Lettuce' restaurants and Gap-like joints.. among them are...

Filter at damen and milw - coffee
bens shoes in wicker park - shoes
Maiz restaurant on california - good mexican grub
Irazu on milwaukee - great costa rican food
Charleston bar on hoyne - JD... what else!!
a few other local boutiques and byob joints also..
