Overhead at the dentist
You take money?
Yes.
Really? Who carries money?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Guess I’m odd then. I do everything in my power to only pay with cash.
Not because I’m some sort of conspiracy theorist, but it turns out when I force myself to pay with cash, I end up spending a lot less. I mean a LOT less.

Last dentist visit on a Saturday AM (it is really cool to get your teeth cleaned at 7AM on a Saturday) I bought replacement heads for my electric toothbrush (the Philips Sonicare, highly recommended). I tried to pay with cash and the receptionist looked like she was going to call the police. I wrote a check instead.

I’m saving my cash as an emergency Toilet Paper supply. After those Yahoos up in DC get done Frackin’ the Economy, that’s all it’s going to be good for.

I carry cash. That being said I’m glad those cashless people are around, because when I get propositioned by Hobos and panhandlers I simply say “I don’t carry cash”, and they move along.
Of course those cashless people are SOL in instances like that great big Northeast Blackout that happened a few years back.

I don’t account for my spending when I use cash; but am a quicken fiend with credit cards. QED, I don’t carry cash.

Well, cash sure keeps the “overhead” down.
Aha! You missed an ‘r’! Oh gosh that’s hysterical.
Because, see, it changes the meaning and all.

I keep some cash on hand in the Gun Safe and keep a C Note stashed in my wallet for emergencies. Purchase everything with my Debit card or the Green Amex card (keeps me honest as I have to pay by the end of the month).

I always carry cash, but always try to use plastic as much as possible.
Cash can help difficult situations when you need and someone doesn’t want to help.

I keep a little cash on hand for those few situations where a place doesn’t take plastic (mostly Chinese restaurants around here), but I normally use the debit card, for the same reasons as Ian. I keep better track of my spending and what I have left using the card and the computer (KMyMoney2) than I do with cash.

Well, since the Blackout started a few hundred yards from my house, Cash wasn’t an option, because Electricity was missing to run the Cash Registers and the Gas Pumps. Having said that, I think I need to get another wheelbarrow soon, so as to carry some cash with me, just in case I need to pick up some Milk and Bread. “Can you say Weimar Republic, Boys and Girls?”

Lawyers, guns and money.
The big three…

Plastic is great if you like having your purchases and your whereabouts recorded and logged and your buying preferences archived and “mined” by companies that sell demographic data. It’s great if you need receipts and need that documentation for your taxes.
Cash is great if you don’t want “the man” snooping in your business, and if you don’t want to pay taxes on that extra income. As a seller, taking plastic costs you money and ultimately causes you to raise your prices to pay the credit card company fees.
