LPT: IF your phone got an case, hide some Cash under it for emergency only!

Submitted by Noa15Lv t3_11efa4b in LifeProTips

I know, plenty of folks use cards nowadays for their daily purchases and won't bother with cash that much anymore...

BUT if your fancy card will fail someday OR your favourite place won't accept it oneday, you'll have at least some cash as an emergency backup, just in case...

Personal experience: My bank card got declined 3 times in ATM, so i couldn't withdraw cash to get on a bus which don't accept cards... I had 20 euro bill under my phone case, so i took it out, swapped it in couple coins and got to me destination in peace.

Well... Not everyone bothers with giant bulky wallets in their pocket.

I've seen some folks using those phone cases with "Flip covers & card holders" and just take out card and pay with it.

Then you lose your phone, and you are really out of luck.

Well, keep your stuff close to yourself and you won't lose anything.

But from experience, i ALMOST lost my wallet cause i wasn't sober & i was in bar. Luckily it was there, where i sat but under the chair.
