Money - anyone else..?

Annoying

Anyone ever get this? I have either ‘money together days’ where all of my cash is kept neatly in one wallet or pocket – and then on other days I have ‘its hanging about everywhere days’ where its in about six different pockets, a coat at work, under the bed, in the bathroom.

Anyone else get that: all on one place…or…chaotically everywhere? I get it all in one place for a couple days, and then by the end of the week I am sleeping in it. Bits in the bed.

I just found two quid in a jacket at work and went ooo thats nice. thats why I am writing this.

I'm LUCKY to ever have cash anywhere on my person! I'm the person that uses the debit card for EVERYTHING- even a $2.00 cheeseburger at McDonalds (I'm sure some of you out there hate us folks, but we are increasing in numbers LOL). If a business doesn't take debit cards, I don't shop there.

I'm like mega -- use my debit card for EVERYTHING. Sometimes I'm embarrassed about the about I'm "charging" LOL.

I don't carry cash often because I spend it so quickly on things I don't need. Now, Five, I DO NOT find it annoying to find a little extra in a winter coat or whatnot. That always makes my day!

Don't spend it all in one place.

Yeah... all those annoying pennies and dimes. sigh. Though the first coat of winter is often a treat... found five dollars once. Mr. Big insists on taking clothes from the dryer, just so he can "make money". Anything he finds, he keeps. Not usually enough to buy coffee... but it keeps him entertained.

Nope to all the above!!

I keep all the bills facing the same way in my billfold.
Each denomination has a section.

I spend far less if I see the actual cash flying out..

I do not carry over $20 and no credit/debit cards or check book
inless I plan to shop.

Keeps me solvent...:kidding:

Wow Carol!!! Talk about organized. I tried that once about 15 years ago and I lasted about a week with my wallet/purse organization.

I know what you mean PaperDolls!!!! If I'm just "charging" one Coke or something, I can almost hear the grunts and sighs from the people behind me LOL. I usually try to scrounge up enough change for those "special" occassions. Teehee.

I too rely on debit, but I generally just choose not to make a purchase if it is under 5.00. I find if I have cash it is way to easy to spend.

The down side to the debit card is it made being an alcoholic quite a bit easier... didn't have to plan to make it to the bank... just pulled out the card.
