Personally, I still do. Hearing lot lately about debit cards being hacked. I can go to my financial institution and talk to human and get cash. No issues.
How many folks still use cash?

I use cash at places that don't take credit cards, other than that I use a credit card that I pay off each month.
I refuse to have a debit card because the bank don't like to give you your real money back like a credit card company will when it comes to fraud.

Here!Mostly CC but I keep a little cash around.
Not much... Wish I had some!
We like using cash for purchases under $25, it helps when my wife looks through credit card statements for fraudulent purchases, as she takes care of our finances. Large purchases on credit card statements stand out all by themselves; works for us.
When selling stuff in person like Craigslist or Facebook, cash only, no apps. When buying stuff, 98% of the time it's a credit card, even for $2 of hardware at Home Depot. Love the 2% cash back which is typically $50-$100 a month.
I use cash a lot, mostly for food and other small purchases. For anything bigger I use a credit card. I refuse to even possess a debit card. I don’t want someone to be able to empty out my bank account if I should happen to lose it.
I don’t but oddly my 17 year old daughter does who gets paid $7-15/hr of her part time job in cash unreported tips people leave at health food/smoothie shop.
The balance of her base pay is on the books.

Just to buy these.
Ohio is actually letting you use CCs to buy those now! What could possibly go wrong there?Just to buy these.
I'm with the guys above, I generally use 2% cashback CC on almost everything, pay that sucker off every month. I wouldn't be surprised if it amounted to over $1K in the last year!
I always try to keep about $120 on me. I wouldn't want to get robbed at gunpoint and have no cash on me and get shot.
I have a CCW but rarely carry and wouldn't pull my gun when the robber won the element of surprise contest and end up getting shot.
I prefer to use a credit card but there are times I use cash like at the farmers market, local events, going to the fairgrounds to pay for parking, to get in and for food.

It’s scary I am afraid of misplacing it.
The only place I use it is when my son and I go to the local barber. It’s $27 now so we can burn a $100 bill in 2 mos. I want a record of our spending and cash rewards, so Cc makes sense. We dont carry a balance.
I recently dropped $60 on the floor in a restaurant and unfortunately someone snagged it. In less than 3 minutes downtown. The only reason I took the cash out is they charge 3% for credit. Any idea where that was? Next time credit all the wat

Always, everyday.
I rather liked the old "no credit cards under $15" signs. I know they all went to $10.....if they still care to have the sign.
How many retailers do you see which have a sign like, "ApplePay, AndroidPay, CloverPay preferred?

I have a large roll of 1’s wrapped in a single 100
I get cash out occasionally for lottery tickets, or when I know I have a dinner with friends coming up. I believe there are two 20s in my wallet now left over from my November 2022 trip to see my parents in Florida. Nice to have them if I need them, but I haven't needed them. Cash back credit card sees all the action.
