Colones = Costa Rican money
I have approx $750 on me... If I had my way, I'd have around a grand on me at all times... That's a decent enough amount of cash to move thru the world on daily basis on and not so large that if you got robbed or went A.D.D. (like I tend to do) and misplaced it usually you won't be facing financial ruin over it.
Interesting thread... I'm not surprised by all the folks that say they don't carry cash... I didn't use to... then I got married and realized cash is the only way for me to spend without the better half having 100% visibility into my (fucking ludicrous) spending habits... I can rip thru $300-$400 a day and have nothing to truly show for it... Drives her crazy... So I try not to spend like a dumbass nitwit now, and when I do I just do it off the grid (in cash).
Use credit card/debit card for everything else.

If I'm going somewhere that this might happen then sure I'll carry cash. But normally I don't hang on street corners where a dice game is liable to break out. Can't remember the last time my boss, pharmacist, a client, or a cashier has asked if I wanna start cutting the deck for sawbucks.
If I'm going to a super bowl party, for example, yeah I'll bring cash...obviously.
i'm walletless, i keep an atm card and 1-2 credit cards with my drivers license in a case that fits my phone
i keep some cash at home and just grab an appropriate amount when i go out and toss it in my pocket
i lose shit too much to have phone, wallet and keys all separate...becomes too tempting for me to empty pockets and leave something
