One I use for daily purchases, and the other I use only for recurring charge accounts. #1 often gets fraud alerts, as you would expect. It is often changed / replaced by my bank. #2 is stable and changes every 3-5 years. Because of the fraud alerts on #1, I have a backup, so I really have #1a and #1b.

Cash is for emergencies only. There’s a bigger stash at home for a zombie apocalypse (post-hurricane widespread long-term power outage really), a smaller stash in the car for buying emergency car repairs on the interstate, and a hundred-ish worth in my wallet for CC problems while traveling/working. And I carry multiple CCs to further reduce that latter risk. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-apple-motherfuckingappleid-forcing-a-password-change/939657)._
