Right now I have 3 $1 bills in my wallet and that's the most I've had for months. DH still uses cash but I use only a credit card. As someone else said I love the cash back rewards and every place takes my card. Even parking garages.

So seldom that even when I plan to, I often forget and automatically pull out my debit card.

LOL me too. I stopped to buy a $1.50 loaf of Italian bread today, and started to pull out my debit card.

ME TOO - it is a habit for sure. I find when I only carry cash I am better about spending the money on just what I need. I always think there is something my grown Son and his Girlfriend need.

Today, yesterday and the day before. I use real money all of the time. What I don't use much (if at all) are checks.

I often use different debit cards. All different accounts and two different banks.

It depends on where I buying something, how much it is and if it will be repetitively taken out.

I don't keep much money in some of them in case they are hacked.

I use my debit card almost always. Where I get my haircut they only take cash or check so I pay in cash.I pay bills online, now I really hate to write a check even.

If it's under $50, I pay cash. I always pay cash at locally owned small businesses, as the banks ding merchants for credit and debit card purchases, and it's harder for a smaller business to absorb that.

I seldom use cash. My credit cards offer 1-5% back in rewards. I pay them in full each month. Cash doesn't make sense for me when my net cost is less by using my cards.
