To each their own...this reminded me of a story related by a pool tournament director remembering the first time he saw Keith McCready, the pool player who played the character Grady Seasons in The Color of Money.

Seems Keith, at age 15, was "robbing" the big money players in a hall known as Hard Times. This tourney director asked him why he wasn't in school. Keith replied they kicked him out. Why? For having too much money. He'd asked the gym teacher to hold his money because he was afraid it would get stolen from the locker. Teacher said sure, so Keith handed him a wad of $100's and smaller...$13,000!

Different lifestyle, I guess. In mine, I only carry 2 credit cards..one Visa, one gas...but a potload of other stuff...insurance cards (paper), etc. And CASH.. I usually go to the bank, pick up $500 or more when I run low.

Some people love using cards for everything. I'm not one of those people. Prefer using cash in restaurants and other places. Don't want to go through the hassle of getting new cards in case of card fraud. I'm careful where I use them.

No cash you say? Check the opening of this pool match video...the count before the match started. Sure don't see any skinny wallet users with credit cards. LOL!
