Cash in the house

I’d ask to borrow from the vape shop nest door to the charity where I volunteer or the myriad of Turkish barbers all around us. They only deal in cash 😉

I pay cash wherever I can and prefer to. Also have some in the house just in case.

And rifling through the back of the sofa for lost coins wouldn’t work any more.

Though shaking up the handbag to see what’s lodged in the depths might.

I’ve survived in the past on both those methods 😬

Well first thought would be food and essentials for me and mine as well as any pets needs. Bus fares, parking, phone top up (maybe?)

Everything else that is already on DD or automatic payment system can get in the queue!

Especially since it is at “their” insistence or constant urging that “we” pay by Direct Debit anyway.
So perhaps up to 2 weeks worth.

I rarely use cash either. But it’s true that if we couldn’t use a card to pay for things, and if the automatic payments stopped we would have to pay somehow, so perhaps it makes sense. I don’t mean small incidentals such as pocket money, as in a crisis they wouldn’t really matter, but I’m not sure what I do mean, really. If we had to pay the gas bill in cash the system would collapse. Ways would have to be found to give people access to their own money somehow.

I pay by cash when shopping sometimes just because I don’t want us to lose the option.

I have enough food in the house to see me through anyway and about £20 in my purse to buy stuff on the market.

I could make do.

I pay for my car services etc in cash as my mechanic collects the car from my house and lends me his, the plumber prefers cash, as does the window cleaner (though all would accept bank transfer without complaint). I like to keep £1000 to £1500 cash safely tucked away “just in case”.

No, I don't keep cash in the house. I rarely have any in my purse either! It seems to be more and more a cashless society. We used to be told not to keep a lot of cash in the house in case of burglars.

I always have money in my purse, although I mainly use cards.

I also keep some cash in the house. My DGD likes to see her pocket money and our paper shop only takes cash.
