Do you always carry cash?

I'm one of those people that never carries cash, I use my ATM for everything. The reason being that I am real loose with my money and if I have it I send it.
For you east coast folk ATM=MAC card

Well, on Monday I realized that i had lost my ATM and the last place I remember using it at was a sports bar on Friday. So I call it in, they cancel it and place an order for a new one and they tell me it will be a few days before I get it. Luckily, I don't need too much cash through out the week. I buy all my groceries, gas up and take care of most of my nescessities during the weekend. Well, Wednesday morning I start to run low on gas, i had $6 in my pocket so I throw that in (which ain't shit in gas these days). I get out of work too late to make it to the bank, so I cant go there and take out some cash but didn't sweat it since I expected my ATM to arrive any time now. Well, fast forward to Friday moring still no ATM and I'm driving to work, the gas meter needle is beyond E and I am shitting bricks on the freeway fearing that I'll stall. Luckily I made it to work OK, but I know that I wont make it home so I look up my nearest bank branch, borrow $5 from a co-worker to put some gas and go take some money out during lunch. While at the branch I ask them if my ATM has been sent, they look it up and the shit didn't even get ordered :mad: Monday is a holliday, so now I wont get my card until late next week at best!!! To top it off, i was so frustrates at the bank that I didn't even think about getting enough cash to cover me 'till then. Now I have to make sure I can get to the bank before 1:00 pM tomorrow or else I'm assed out. I usually sleep past 1:00 PM on the weekends.

I think I'm going to start keeping an emergency stash of cash around for cases liek these.

So any of you mofo's go around without cash like me, or am I the only one with impulsive spending problems?
 
I never carry a lot of cash....100 bucks is a lot for me...but Im weird like that.

I dont wear a watch and I hate to carry a wallet
 
I use my atm/check card almost exclusively too...

I have 2 of copies of the card for me and my wife has one as well so that if something happens to one of em I am set....
 
I have 3 accounts I can access with that ATM, but only the main checking account is accessible from ATM's outside of my bank. Well, I used the card at the sports bar to take out some cash, which was all the cash I had left in that account. I'm sure whoever found thought they hit the jackpot 'cause they tried to use it but were only able to charge $6.52 to it, and I'm surprised they even got that. LOL

It must have been a funny scene. They probably tried to charge a bunch of shit to it and when it got declined they probably dimished the charge until they found a figure that got accepted.
 
I dont like to carry cash cuz its sooo easy for me to spend it......so i use my atm card and thats bout it:)
 
I always carry cash.
 
My fiance and I are on a strict "no atm" policy right now so if we don't have the cash from her tips, we don't buy whatever we're looking at
 
I use the atm for everything; rarely more than a couple 20's in the wallet.
 
I never have cash. It's rare for me to have more than $5 cash (if that) unless I withdraw before going out somewhere fun on a weekend. I find I spend less and keep better track of my money if I use my check card.
 
I write checks when I'm broke and need food 'cause it wont get cashed for a few days so it usually buys me time 'till payday.

Nowadays at all the stores around here, they have something called vericheck or something like that which they scan the check in and the system makes sure you have enough in your checking account to cover the purchase, and then money is taken out the same day.
