A five dollar bill I’m afraid to use since it’s missing two corners and too lazy to go to the bank and replace. I almost never have cash; a check card and two credit cards is enough for me.

I carry from 20 to 50 bucks on me and usually a bunch of hard change in one pocket.

I usually have between $5 and $25 on me, in addition to an ATM card and my credit card.

At the moment, I have about $83, though. I took out a lot of money at the ATM so I could go to Dominick’s to buy tickets for this Tuesday’s **Apoptygma Berzerk** show in Chicago, but it turns out Ticketmaster pulled out of the Dominick’s gig. Great, now I have all this cash on me and I get to pay extra money for the tickets through [ticketmaster.com](http://ticketmaster.com). “Convenience” charge, my ass.
