No, I don't carry much money with me when I go out, thats because I don't ever have any money anyway..lol I usually just use my bank card for everything, or I use checks. If I do carry cash, its not much, maybe 20.00 or so.

I don't like to carry too much cash. It feels not safe, specially if you live in my country. Usually, I just carry some amount that is enough to pay for 3 persons meal in a decent restaurant. Most of the time, I pay with my credit card or take out some cash from the atm before doing the transaction. ATM is more common thing than credit card in my country.

I don't carry so much money in my wallet. It's not common in here... well, i'm not used to it. I always use my atm card for shopping or groceries. Right now, I only have 5 euro in my wallet just enough for parking fee.. :)

I try to carry as little as possible, but make sure I have more then enough in case I get hungry or something un-expected happens. In otherwords, probably about as little as $10-$15 and as much as $30-$35ish.

Most of my money goes into the gas tank any more. I generally don't carry very much cash with me.

I also try to always carry emergency money with me. I only carry about $10 in cash though for safety reasons. I hate it when I don't have at least $5 in my wallet because I feel like I'm helpless. Even though I carry my debit card with me. I really don't know why.

i also can't go out without money, even if it's just within the village. because i always have to buy something to eat while outdoors. plus, my brothers and sisters could ask some from me anytime while we are for example watching basketball games at the village court. but due to my lack of talent/knowledge in budgetting (because at times i don't really mind overspending especially if my family's going to benefit from it), there were cases when (coming from a mall or school or office or other places) i only have enough bucks to get to home that i can not be picky in which type of public vehicles should transport me, or that i can't and i shouldn't drop even a penny to get to home. that's one situation (although unavoidable for my kind) which i don't want to experience anymore and so far i am succeeding.

oh definatly you have to have some money just in case, my grandmother always taught us to put away 20 to 40 bucks just for that, since i have children and my youngests fever sometimes goes up to 103, i always have something put away, so that way when i dash out the door im not worried about not having any money

I always forgot to check my wallet before going out, which causing me sometime have just a few buck in my wallet. Luckily I will check my wallet before buying anything.
