Cash in your Wallet

I never understood why people carry loads of cash with them. I can't tell you how many times I have customers taking out a wad of cash and flip through their hundred dollar bills to get to their smaller bills. It truly amazes me to see how much cash people carry around. Do they worry about getting mugged? I had a guy buy $500 worth of gift cards today. He gave me 5 (hopefully not counterfeit) Benjamins. Why are you carrying well over $500 cash with you? Two years ago when I won $2,000 on a horse race, I was nervous carrying that much cash in my pocket from the OTB to my house. It's a very short walk but I was still nervous. I love money, just like everyone else, but I don't like carrying a lot of it on me! When I did well at Atlantic City a few months ago, I had almost $1,000 cash in my wallet. My hand was permanently in my pocket making sure my wallet was still there. There are crazy people in this world. I don't want or need anyone mugging me. Unless I am in a casino or on vacation, you will not see more than $100 in my wallet at any time. If I'm at a casino, you probably won't see any money in my wallet because I probably lost it all. I do like having cash on me though. I'm not one of those people who like to use my credit card for everything. I don't see a point in that when I can pay for it right away and not worry about it a month later. Be careful with your cash because you don't want someone to steal it on you!
