I mostly pay by credit card. When I am paid or receive money it's typically going to be methods like direct deposit, a written check, transferred digitally, rather than cash, so I getting physical cash requires an additional step like going to my ATM to withdraw it, or asking for cash back on my purchase in store, and since most businesses accept credit/debit cards it's just more convenient to pay with the card, and more precise, since you don't have to count out the change. Also my bank gives you incentives and waives certain fees if you use your bank card x times a month, so it's also cheaper to do this. Besides I lose my card, then I can cancel the card and receive a new one, and there are protection policies to reimbursed funds that get stolen fron the account, but if drop or lose the cash itself, then it's gone.
If I know that cash is the only payment method accepted, then I will withdraw a little to make sure i have the change in specific situations. Going downtown in my city means that you may have to park in front of meter and insert a few coins, so that's a time where I would want to have some actual money. When I was living in an apartment complex I had to have change for the washer and dryer in the laundry mat, and sometimes would use it to get snacks or a drink from the vending machine. I tried to keep at least a few dollars in my purse also when I walked to the grocery store because I expected to encounter a homeless person who would need the change.
I am fortunate enough to have a car, but when I used the bus i had to have the exact fare in cash. A lot of outdoor venues like flea markets, yard sales, some food vendors and the farmer's market, music festivals rely on cash too. So I bring cash in very limited contexts, and once I spend it I don't usually continue carrying it if I don't need to.
If I am going to give somebody a present of money like a birthday gift then I might do it in cash and put it in a money envelope or card-either that or a gift card. Overall though
It's kinda rare for me to have.
