Since nowadays almost everywhere credit card are accepted with thousands of ATM's nearby , how much cash do you carry and why ? If i mugged you today, what would be your stolen goods value ?

I usually carry about $150 with me, nexus 5, platinum and gold ring I was given as best man at my brothers wedding, $900 longine watch and usually carry my sony duo laptop with me during the day to uni and work. Alot to lose really :/
$40 cash, ING paywave card, Commbank Card with more money in it (my normal bank account) and 0.2 bitcoin on my phone wallet
$20-40 in cash including a ridiculous amount of silver for the guide dogs, wishing wells etc that we pass (they make a small fortune out of me).
2 debit and 1 credit card
ridiculous amount of 'loyalty' cards and club membership cards
Nokia C3 phone looking a little worse for wear
keys
bib
half eaten rice crackers x 4
half eaten yoghurt…ewwww…
very squished muesli bar
onsie
nappy roll with nappies and wipes in it
random toy
about 42 random bits of paper (kindy newsletters, flyers, cards of businesses etc)
If you mug Arnold Schwarzenegger you get :
1 x mp5 sub-machine gun w/silencer,
1 x uzi,
1 x revolver,
1 x 12 gauge shotgun,
1 x ammo holster,
1 x duffel bag
1 x leather jacket(XL)

Dafuq did I just read?
Made me laugh too but somehow I don't think he meant that as a joke.That's how he writes/speaks.
@nikey2K27 : I've been stuck in bed for a couple of days. Was getting bored and feeling sorry for myself and then you come along ….with that gem! :-) "+1"
I had everything in my desk drawer stolen, so some stuff that I carry in and out from work… Ie: what you would have taken if I was mugged. They would have made nothing. I was in the negative replacing it all:
- IPhone4 - IMEI blocked within 10 mins. Phone deleted and blocked from remote. Unsellable.
2 drivers licence - Wallet
4: no cash. Lots of Medicare etc cards
It cost me to replace
1: $500 for new phone
2: $70 for new licence replacement. I thought that excessive and I now carry my $20 18+ card that I obtained more than 13 years ago. At least I'm not out of pocket $70 if I lose it.
3. $20 to replace
4. Just a pain to replace.So basically, they made $0 value and I was way way out of pocket.
Police caught the guys from CCTV. No value returned.- IPhone4 - IMEI blocked within 10 mins. Phone deleted and blocked from remote. Unsellable.
None!
I have a cash business so I always seem to have over $500 (only $100 in my wallet right now, its the end of the week for me) on me But If I have too much I keep it at home, there is never a need to have great wads of cash on you really and my HTC one :D never use my debit card or my credit card.
Im alway real careful about my wallet and money.Usually around 150-200 (i don't spend it just sits in my wallet for that in-case moment)
And if its in my wallet then its not on my card.. which means i cant go out buying random bargains from here :)
I withdraw $130 from the ATM around once a week. I find most places I purchase things in cash are not too fond of pineapples (e.g. parking, coffee expenses etc). Taking $130 gives you 4x $20's :)
I used to do that, then I changed down to just $80 withdrawals - all lobsters… so I'm usually carrying between $20 to $80, and both a Galaxy Note 3 and an iPhone 5s (one is a work phone)
I pay with card wherever feasible - less loose change, credit card points, and money in account slightly longer earning inconsequential interest)
Never use cash, but always carry it as a backup.
My wallet always contains at least a $100 and $50 bill - always replenish those as they are handy.
I carry $0 in cash, you'd get my Samsung Galaxy S4 and wallet (license, debit, student id etc). Paying with card is so much easier, especially with a lot of places having paywave there's really no need for cash.
I usually have a low multiple of 20 (I withdraw amounts which will give me at least one $20 note, as not all places like the 50s). I usually withdraw $40 or $60 (maybe $80 if going out) from the ATM and it lasts several weeks…I find myself using paypass a lot of the time now.
I carry my week's spending allowance ($150-200). I find it's hard to keep track of spending with credit/eftpos. This way, I can just open my wallet and see if I've enough left - or if it's baked beans tonight. (Trying to build up my savings.)
This.
Its frightening how much all those little spends add up
I find it much easier to track by credit because i have record of it. Otherwise I get to the end of the week and I'm like where did my money go? And if i have no cash then I'm less likely to spend it :)
Usually <$50. The mrs always raids my wallet when I'm not looking. If a place doesn't accept EFTPOS and I don't have enough cash, they don't get my business, period. Even if there's an ATM out the front.
I just say "that's not a knife, this is a knife!"
I just counted my coins. about $60.
I do always carry a camera (proper camera)I usually never carry any more than $20. The only time I really need cash is if I'm heading to the markets.
$0 just debit cards, unless I know im going somewhere which accepts cash only then I would probably take a $20
Tomorrow broke, homeless and selling your bottom.
