Now that AIB charge 20c every time I do anything. I take more cash out in one go, to cut back on the laser. all those 20c don’t be long adding up.

I have seldom cash on me but always credit/debit card

As little as possible, if you have it on you, you’ll spend it.

I’m fond of carrying the plastic meself, most of the time I never carry more than 1000,000,000 Ugandan dollars at any one time….

The only time I would really take out cash is on a night out… I don’t want to be one of those people that I hate at the bar with a debit card holding up the barman for 5 minutes with a damn card! :-)

Everything else though, I would use debit or credit card.

Feck all. I’m broke.

Plastic is the way to go. It’s a pity business place minimum transaction on the plastic.

I think most people have the mindset of not wanting/planning on their wallets stolen. It’s just some people take better precautions or maybe those that are robbed just have rotten luck!

My cards were replaced because it was a day or two after that I had my bag returned to me so had cancelled them and ordered new ones. The numbers on the news cards were different. So even I they had taken my numbers done even – they were no longer of use.

I try to carry enough cash to pay if/when the card bounces!

Is it any wonder we take out more from the ATM, the smallest amount you can withdraw from most of them is €20!

I rarely carry cash around with me anymore….everything goes on the laser card!

Cash? What’s that?

Usually considerably less than €100 but hardly ever more than €100.

I work in a supermarket and I have been privy to views into many peoples wallets as they open them to pay. I have noticed a significant amount of men aged 50+ carrying huge wads of €50 notes. We have a large, local and regular customer base and the people I have spotted always have their wallets the same way. And don’t seem to do much to hide it. I have always wondered how can they feel safe carrying this much cash because I certainly wouldn’t. Also our more elderly cutomers seem to favour keeping their cash or chequebook close. Though I will mention that it seems their children (now adults) are trying to encourage their parents to utilise a debit card instead. And once they get over the wariness and fear of technology they seem to feel more secure.

My handbag was stolen. They took cash and my Chanel perfume – left all the cards. The bag was returned to me by a kid man who contacted my college. Cash is quick an easy for a thief. Cards can be cancelled 24/7 by making a simple phonecall. And perhaps the mental boost of feeling ‘wealthy’ is good. We all need little pick me ups! But let’s just hope the day your wallet is stolen, your ‘wealth’ gone and you left feeling stupid doesn’t happen. Banks have been proven to care little for their customers. We are simply a means to an end. I just don’t carry cash so that I cannot a simple means to an end for a thief!

Everything on the Visa for me!

When paying with plastic a small portion of the total amount goes to the bank, I feel this is unfair to the vendor and try to pay cash when I can.

Is anyone else not seeing figures on the pie chart.

And a pie chart? Really? Stephen Few: Information Dashboard Design: The Effective Visual Communication of Data. Read it.

Small cash – and a laser card.

would it be possible for The Journal to use vibrant colors in their charts? why always the same dull colours blended with different shades of dull colours so we have to strain to figure out the chart…

Unless I have plans to spend then no more than 20

Given the recent problems with Ulster Bank and our general distrust of bankers generally I would hope it would be another 10 years before this was even discussed

Where’s the option for ?

The likelihood of major currency/banking collapse continues to increase over time. Free Market technologies are simultaneously outflanking this slow motion car crash to provide alternatives, making the current arrangement increasingly redundant.
