Do you prefer the smaller bills, or would you rather have the larger bills?

I feel that I tend to spend the smaller bills if I have them, so I upgrade to larger bills... makes it almost hurt inside to part with it...

That, and I have been without a wallet for a good.... 1.5 yrs now... so the extra cash just tends to make my pocket bloated. Which results in compulsive purchases!

Personally, I only ever keep about $20 on me in case of an emergency. For everything else I use my card.

Those are the most annoying bills to get in my line of work.

after paying bills etc. 60% goes to my bank account 20% on an emergency account (earth quakes etc.) and 20% is for me to waste :P

My bullshit meter just went off. No idea why...

Draco, how can you live without a wallet? Do you just keep your spare cash in your house or something? I'm hoping you have a bank account...

Either way, I have direct deposit so my paycheck gets delivered straight to my checking account and I normally just keep my card on me, and withdraw money for things I can't purchase with a debit card...

I usually have $100-$400 on me in $20's or $100's.

Small bills just aren't practical for anything other than splitting checks.

At any one time I have about £100 in £20, £20 and £5 notes in my wallet. Everything else is in my bank account.

As for buying things, I very rarely buy something physically - the money is there just in case a friend forces me out and I need a fiver for the bus, or a tenner for the cinema or food. When I do buy something it's online, and aways over £100 in total (which I do every four months or so).

I generally keep about $40-50 on me, but mostly use a debit card.

That's because he's full of shit, as usual.


I have my check direct deposited into my checking account. Debit for everything, checks or e-pay for bills.

Do you have unlimited debit transactions for a low monthly fee?

I have unlimited debit transactions with no monthly fee..

As weird as this sounds, it depends on how I'm feeling. Some days I prefer having big bills, other days I prefer small bills.

It's either annoying or amusing when someone comes to cash their payroll check and they're all like "Can I have it in smaller bills? It makes me feel richer". Amusing if it's a small check, and annoying if it's a huge check.

I don't have a monthly fee either. I go with Wells Fargo.

Me neither. And I'm a cheap son of a bitch with money. I barely spend any.

That is exactly how I do it. Of course me being a tactician I have to look at this and tell anyone who does it any differently (for the purpose that my tactics are supreme) they are a dumbass. Especially if they have "cards". Cash and checks only here.

Cash and checks only...why?
