When you go outside for daily transactions how much money you mostly set as extra / petty cash in your pocket or purse? Are you the type of person that always set extra money, or you never set at all?

I always set an extra 50 in my wallet and that will be a safer journey for me incase i need it for emergency.sometimes when the car runs out of oil at least i have some cash in hand for the oil. Never not bring extra money cause you never knew when you need it and never use all your money.

Yeah, it's so important to have at least the highest amount you would need unexpectedly like those for car gas oil, an extra cash for fare if you're a commuter or an extra amount for snacks.

I save at least my $15. I need to have $25 everday for emergency use. Like for buying some stuff in a retail store. I know that God will provide for the needy. But I always have check list. I only buy important things. I've learned to discipline myself on shopping. Good day to you!

Lately I go out without having any money in my wallet. The reason for this is because I have used all of my money to pay for my sons tuition so I hardly use my money in the bank. I am again pursuing another job in a few days and most likely I will bring more than enough because my dad taught me to bring extra money all the time. My dad would always remind me that bringing extra money is a good idea just so if anything comes up you have money with you.

Yes! To have extra's in the pocket would be important when time comes that you're in unexpected expenses, so as not to cram. And prepared always. Have a nice day/evening.

When I have money to spend, I find that unless I am going out on the town, I will bring about $20 to cover for incidentals.

Oh! That $20 would not be extra at all. Here in Philippines, normally we have 50 to 100 PHP = $1 to $2 as extra in the pocket. This is in the case of people (Filipino) in middle class.
