I keep a $5 bill stuffed inside my cell phone case for bail money if I need it but haven't used cash in probably in forever, especially with all the cash rebate credit cards.
In addition to cash, I’ll use a credit card. The bank that issued the card will not charge me for fraudulent use and offers either cash rewards or points toward air travel. My bills are on autopay from my cash rewards card, with physical statements sent to me in the real mail so I can save them in the appropriate file. As far as all the other electronic forms of payment, I guess we agree to disagree. The only thing I push through my cell phone is a phone call or the occasional text (if I have my cheaters handy). To each his or her own.
