like tng, I roll the rewards points and spend almost entirely on my card. I like to carry a little cash - maybe between $2-60. I rarely use it though. I think because I grew up without a lot of money, I like the idea of having cash in my pocket... because I can... but it's a silly thing really. Now... when it comes to change... I am a recovering change addict. I have a recurring dream where I am in the driveway of my childhood home and I see a dime on the driveway. I lean down to pick it up and notice a nearby nickel. Only then I see a quarter and some pennies. I look around and there are coins everywhere. I experience deep childhood joy at picking up dollars worth of coins. I think this dream, and the earlier mentioned lack of money as a kid affected the way I feel about change. For a time, I used to have AT LEAST 2-5 gold dollars and AT LEAST two fifty cent pieces. I would use them for tips at the diner, or to buy lemonade from kids on the street. But when I used it at a store one time and the 17 year old behind the counter took like a solid minute to figure out what the 50 cent piece was and how much it was worth... I realized I should migrate back to the card. I think geography has a lot to do with it too. In a small town, I was all cash, coin ,etc. In Denver, I'm almost all card all the time.
I keep $2 bills in my wallet for just those reasons. Well, not lemonade. I don't see those kids often.
That is an EXCELLENT question. And the answer is, I shall (hopefully!) be moving into an apartment in Denver come the first or second week of January. The plan right now is to fly back home to Baltimore in the middle of December and then drive back to Colorado in early January. Between now and flying home, I've been busying myself with finding a place to live in the city (or 'burbs, wherever's affordable and cozy and central). Craigslisting mainly. So the answer is: soon.
