Specifically anything that anyone can or has at one point considered sinful, I would buy with cash:

- Alcohol - Cigarettes - Drugs - Condoms - Feminist literature - Anti-feminist literature - Ammunition - Guns - Bible - The Koran - Marx’s The Capital - Low cut dress

SIM card is key. In the US, last I checked, networks won’t give you an extra SIM for the same line.

So you’d have to get an extra service line :S

Hmm, keep $200-600 of quickly depreciating assets whose creation is a sin against our children’s enviroment when I can have five crisp linen Benjamins at home?

And do the same for car.

And the hotel room when you are travelling.

Doesn’t seem too logical.

Plus, I’m privileged, but I’m really not more than mildly annoyed if I loose my wallet with $50-$100.

The way I see it some person will have the opportunity to do the right thing and turn it in, or I like to imagine that a homeless will have a great a day.

The only thing that bothers me is my information in my wallet, which I will pay far more than $100 to keep safe.

I have $200 in a variety of denominations in my glove box.

I have $2 000 cash at home.

Once I’m home I can write myself a cheque, and with my passport, easily withdrawal more money at any bank (or grocery store).

Also, if a natural disaster happens (earthquake, fire, flood, hurricane, Norsemen with iPhones disembark on our shores) I don’t have to rely on any network to buy something. I just pay cash, or write a cheque.

Cash is very robust. (Booze, cigarettes and gold more so, but that’s another story)
