You should always keep a $100 bill in your wallet, according to this psychologist. (via CNBCMakeIt)

and make you think twice about the transaction, compared to using a credit card or mobile payments on your phone to pay for your items, Jeff Kreisler, co-author of "Dollars and Sense: How We Misthink Money and How to Spend Smarter," told Grow earlier this year. Modern technology "can be a real problem with spending; the more automatic things are, the more easy it is to spend," Kreisler says. "And that's not always good.

But while carrying large bills may help curb your spending, it's not a foolproof strategy. Businesses are often reluctant to accept $50 and $100 bills. And carrying a lot of cash increases yourWe treat money differently depending on how we categorize it. We associate a lot of small bills with miscellaneous, petty cash, while we associate large bills with special money.

"Take a $50 or $100 bill and wrap it around your credit card," says Gresham. "That way, every time you consider making a purchase, you'll consider how that purchase translates into physical money."

MakeIt 💯

MakeIt Yeah; when your being robbed in one of those Blue Cities, you need to have money to give to the THUGS and SCUM BAGS that are assaulting and robbing you.

MakeIt Is this article from 1979?😜

MakeIt It’s in case someone has cocaine.

MakeIt 80% of the stores I shop at say No $ bills

MakeIt I read this as 100 billion

MakeIt No we don't need 100$ ...we need more bitcoin so your wallet minimum has 1000$ and your debit or credit card is ready anytime to buy TON

MakeIt So when you get robbed by a Democrat voter they get at least $100?

MakeIt So you can buy a loaf of bread?

MakeIt I don't use wallet for years, just my phone with a NFC

MakeIt The journalists are now working with your local mugger in a alley

MakeIt Whenever I worked in New York in the 70’s my boss would always give me a $100 bill for my wallet so if I was robbed the thief wouldn’t shoot me for not having anything…

MakeIt I'm not impressed with . They're nowhere near as bad as FoxBusiness , just lame. 🙄

MakeIt Not if your in a large potentially blue city All those mugging and robberies are wild the last few years look up the stats before they stopped tracking them

MakeIt Wait you guys have $100!?

MakeIt I already do.

MakeIt heard this from an investment banker, but it was because he said he won’t do blow with $1’s, $5’s, or $10’s

MakeIt Actually 246.34 dls is the exact money you should have in your wallet . It’s Goldilocks Zone.

MakeIt Paycheck to paycheck ppl keep 100s to maintain and encourage a wealthy mindset. The feeling of having more attracts more. We never spend it. 😂

MakeIt I don’t know of anyone who keeps cash in their wallet anymore. It’s cards everywhere.

MakeIt With SVB collapse you have probably have more than $100 at arms length going forward.

MakeIt When I moved 16 years ago, I only had a $100 bill in my wallet. And three different gas stations for purchases under five dollars saw the hundred dollar bill and said oh don’t worry about it just take it.

MakeIt $100,- is 10 pieces more of money paper in our currency. Too much cash just for ordinary routine

MakeIt Good way to get robbed nowadays.

MakeIt That's not smart unless you like to see the buying power go down from 10% APR inflation. Debt is better when it's paid off prior to interest charges that exceed inflation.

MakeIt I’m starting the rumor now that the author moonlights as a mugger. They’re just trying to fatten you up.

MakeIt CNBC has become such a disgrace

MakeIt That's not a valid hypothesis. In fact I often give bigger currency for small transactions to get change. Lot of people do that.

MakeIt

MakeIt Someone clearly has had too much idle time on their hands. 🤪🙄

MakeIt It’s be nice to have a spare $100

MakeIt It sure would be nice to have an extra $100 bill in this economy.

MakeIt I definitely see the benefit of this!

MakeIt All experts agree, that you should also have $600 million in your account - and eat organic avocados for a healthy life.

MakeIt 🤣

MakeIt LOL 😂 everybody broke thanks to democrats, carry $200 that won’t even cover groceries 🤡🔥

MakeIt This is true. I consider any one time cost below $20 has effectively free. Above $50 I think about it, a little. Around $100 is my natural negative bias.

MakeIt How about carrying no cash?

MakeIt Time to focus

MakeIt Lmao they don’t have pull tabs in this authors state I’m guaranteeing you that

MakeIt if you can save one

MakeIt Dumb idea

MakeIt Last month it was a $50 bill

MakeIt That’s not true at all.

MakeIt So you can get robbed. Easy.

MakeIt Man I need a 100.00 bill first send me a couple. Thanks

MakeIt I’ve had 10 $100 bills in my pocket paid to me as bonuses selling cars for 25 years

MakeIt Next week: 'Exactly which pocket you should keep your wallet in when walking down a busy sidewalk'

MakeIt We work for a living, we don't see 100 dollar bills.

MakeIt Stop repeating this story don't make sense anyway smh

MakeIt if you can save one in todays economy

MakeIt The last time I carry $100. I lost my wallet. My wallet was returned to me by mail. But the $100 was missing. It's a NO. Lesson learned. Don't carry high denomination. Not every good samaritan. Is that good to be true.

MakeIt Who still uses cash

MakeIt Another great article from Phil Space

MakeIt Aren’t most 100 bill polluted with cocaine.

MakeIt Send me several I'll be glad to sister! GoFundMe 3krepps0gmail.com

MakeIt Your privilege is showing 🙄

MakeIt That’s not enough…

MakeIt I used to keep one in my belt.

MakeIt Must be nice to always have $100!!

MakeIt Give me 1

MakeIt There is expert for this? Rather keep $1000 💰💵

MakeIt The vision is beautiful. But the reality is cruel. Everyone needs to have their own balance sheet.

MakeIt Two 50's is better and five 20's better yet but the best is 5 1's 1 5' 3 10's & 3 20's

MakeIt

MakeIt people not carrying cash at all or hiding it ! They enter the farm gate saying I've only got 2, 3 or $4. They don't do this at supermarkets. There the hand over the quoted price. Experts at paying as little as possible for food while spending it on non essentials

MakeIt But not for too long… inflation will turn it into a $50😳

MakeIt Here’s the flaw… go grocery shopping for a two - three days of groceries. $100 easy. So much for that savings.

MakeIt So that when you get assaulted you ya just bought yourself your life? Maybe? I should read the article

MakeIt Yes because we will have a Internet blackout for 5 years! And also electricity shot down definitely forever. Don’t be surprised when the war will hit you as well.

MakeIt Will we meet again 🥺

MakeIt And I not giving a woman a DAMN-THING👏

MakeIt Many places now don’t even accept cash.

MakeIt I keep a hundred dollar bill in case I'm armed robbed. some aholes won't hesitate to shoot you if they don't see see $$$ on your wallet. I've been robbed thrice growing up.

MakeIt Who knew the solution was to just have more money to make us better at having money. Thanks.

MakeIt Can't remember last time I used cash

MakeIt Stop tweeting this dumb story

MakeIt 😆all the $100 bills are being hoarded. The last time I saw one was 5 years ago. (in Australia) If you go to an ATM and try to get $100, only get 5 x $20 notes.

MakeIt ⛷️🤔

MakeIt With Joe's inflation you need $200

MakeIt This psychologist must be paid in cash

MakeIt Why not a 10k?

MakeIt And chance to get robbed is increased

MakeIt Set yourself up for a mugging.

MakeIt People who haven’t seen a 100$ bill in their entire life do not belong to the pool of clients of the „psychologists“ in question , right?

MakeIt No thanks. I don't want to own cash.

MakeIt When you’re scrolling through this looks like something very different.

MakeIt 'Psychologist say Don't be poor' there I fixed the headline for you.

MakeIt If I put a $100 bill in my wallet everytime you tweeted this story, I'd have enough cash to buy a new Tesla.

MakeIt For the thief to have something when the rob and kill you. They know you will have a $100 on you. Holly molly Rocky Sammy Cash must be accounted for and DNC must be removed for 50 years minimum.

MakeIt Finnish Lutheran Church plans to give up confessional religious teaching?! Also for those who do not belong to the Lutheran Church..? Planning a new 'viewing subject' for schools..?! Must be Finnish Parlament decision? Also laws must changed?

MakeIt Just in case you get robbed so you can give atleast something I guess

MakeIt To buy a dozen eggs?

MakeIt I have 6 of them. Is that enough? I don't really like my wallet to be that thick with all the platinum cards and cash.

MakeIt Many places don’t even take cash anymore.

MakeIt That pick is so vaginal

MakeIt 200 would be better, though

MakeIt What about a $2 bill and some receipts?

MakeIt Do people still use physical wallets and real cash in this day and age?😂🤦🏽‍♂️

MakeIt I see 😛

MakeIt Here’s why the knife-wielding crackhead on the street corner agrees.

MakeIt 💵

MakeIt Yeah, but .... That really messes up the cashier at the Kwikie Mart or the Krusty burger when you do decide to spend it. There isn't even a slot for anything over a $20 - and making change on a $100 can empty the drawer & require a manager.

MakeIt Under Biden I can't keep a dollar in my wallet

MakeIt But this economy, is it really practical to consider $100 bill a large amount of money?

MakeIt As an aspiring armed robber who is frustrated by a cashless society, I vigorously agree with this psychologist.

MakeIt 🙃

MakeIt Biden took all my $100 bills, will a $1 bill work

MakeIt You should always keep a Bitcoin in your wallet, a psychologist says.

MakeIt Tamam 👍

MakeIt Or just don't carry cash at all, so you have nothing to spend.

MakeIt In case you’re robbed the thief would rather have $100 than $5

MakeIt Who has a hundred dollar bill?

MakeIt And with inflation, you are losing nearly a dollar of that $100 for every month that it sits in your wallet.

MakeIt Psychologists shouldn't be preaching people about money saving. Otherwise they'll go out of business.

MakeIt Much better to keep 1 BITCOIN in your wallet. 💁🏽‍♂️

MakeIt We work for a living. We are no politicians. We don't get free benefits. We don't have 100 dollar bills

MakeIt And in your glove department.

MakeIt Not only experts but pickpockets

MakeIt There's nothing better looking than a $100 bill FACT as long as it's clean

MakeIt Nobody uses cash to pay anymore. This isn’t the 1980s

MakeIt So when you get assaulted, mugged or pickpocketed, you give your assailant a cash bonus?

MakeIt In case you want to go out for dinner?

MakeIt Umm lotta Americans don't have the xtra 100$ just to carry u einsteins

MakeIt Who carries cash?

MakeIt Hookers don’t have change. Dangerous game you’re playing.

MakeIt How about keeping a dozen of them?

MakeIt Ok but poor

MakeIt This headline brought to you buy robbers everywhere.

MakeIt Before reading I'm guessing the reason is because you don't want to break it, while breaking a $20 bill is easier.

MakeIt Are you going to give me that hundred dollar bill so that I can keep it in my wallet? Just asking because not everyone can afford to keep that much money in their wallet and not touch for some reason.

MakeIt What the hell is this tonedeaf bullshit?

MakeIt At the rate of inflation, they need to bring back the $500 to make it feel special. But you should keep $100 with Voodoo oil on it in your wallet in the meantime.

MakeIt People getting robbed as soon as they leave the atm and you want people to carry around a Benji? Nah good luck tho. Y'all write the news, don't you ever read it yourselves? Can you not see down from your ivory towers.

MakeIt Can't because you all are leftist and leftism is destroying everything it touches.

MakeIt Disagree. I carry 6 $100 bills because it's easier than carrying 30 $20 bills.

sourpatchlyds MakeIt You had me up until I saw 'a psychologist says'.

MakeIt Okay send me the $100 you have in your wallet and I'll put it in mind matter of fact everybody that reads this post send me $100 I'll make sure I keep it hehehe

sourpatchlyds MakeIt In this economy, that is impossible.

MakeIt So you can buy a Pepsi

MakeIt People receiving tips like this advice!

MakeIt Bitcoin is better

MakeIt So the state sponsored criminals don't feel short changed when they violently mug you?

sourpatchlyds MakeIt Okay, can I have one?

MakeIt What about the guy who just used a debit card to get $3 gasoline....

sourpatchlyds MakeIt Easier said than done with the Democrats in power.

MakeIt Most thugs are not iq geniouses. A crisp 100 can be enough.

MakeIt 'Thieves are having a real hard time lately, here's how you can help them out while addressing your privilege.'

MakeIt So a criminal mugging you is guaranteed 100 bucks?

MakeIt People still carry cash?

MakeIt I will

IngAngelZayas MakeIt Interesting

MakeIt Agree

MakeIt Who has a spare $100? This is the worst financially since 2008! 😭

MakeIt 😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

MakeIt For those extra couple gallons of gas after your credit card maxes out.

MakeIt Good luck trying to break it

MakeIt An old friend told me this when I was a teen. Now decades later I still have $100 in my case. Has come in handy a few times.

MakeIt 100% of thieves polled agree with

MakeIt I do not use cash so my wallet is all credit cards

MakeIt Modern day dollar bill...

MakeIt Your channel should stop promoting FTX. When are your “journalists” Cramer and company going to apologize? You have zero credibility.

MakeIt Try cashing it.

MakeIt Is this article from 1985?

MakeIt Where does that psyc live? It is impossible in NY.

MakeIt This isn’t street smart in NY.

MakeIt only if you live away from any blue dominated city, other than that it's like throwing money away, asking to get rob, pickpocket etc. Look at CVS and Walgreens !! closing stores in democrat dominated areas, shoplifters are hurting the economy.

MakeIt keep 500 these days.

MakeIt Emergency drug purchases

MakeIt Ask her

MakeIt Forget the psychology, most keep cash in their wallet so when their credit card gets blocked by increasingly fraud-fearing card companies they can still check out at Walmart.

MakeIt LOL! I haven't seen a 100 dollar bill since i became disabled.

MakeIt

MakeIt Backward. We don't remember for years what banknote looks like.

MakeIt It's 2022. I've barely seen or had cash since I arrived in the US in June

MakeIt i tend to not keep many cash as most shops are going cashless. keep only a few bucks with me and it helps to save lots of money.

MakeIt Well, I did have to tip the maitre d at Che Paul

MakeIt Nobody has $100 thanks to President Brandon

MakeIt One of the stupidest articles and a clickbait. Almost no one uses cash

MakeIt Robberies

MakeIt I have so many hundos to put in my wallet for funsies. This pretty tone-deaf to say the least.

MakeIt Who the hell even uses cash anymore

MakeIt So pick pockets can steal it.

MakeIt Plus it will give your mugger in New York, Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, New Orleans, something for their time.

MakeIt Because that's how much it cost for a tank of gas when Biden is in office?

MakeIt Incase cocaine goes on sale

MakeIt Who has a $100 bill?

MakeIt Psychology plays a major rule in spending, saving, and investing. Interesting read.

MakeIt Not in my neighborhood!!!

MakeIt Finance for dummies 101.

MakeIt these days $500 is the same as $100 from 10 years ago, when this article was written.

MakeIt Not in New York, San Francisco, Chicago or Philadelphia 😉

MakeIt “Always keep $100 bills in your wallet”

MakeIt I like 5 $20 bills.

MakeIt That 1/2 a tank of gas

MakeIt Why? So I can lose it?

MakeIt Who has a hundred dollar bill?

MakeIt $100 ain't gonna get you much gotta bump that up to $500

MakeIt If everyone knew everyone had a $100 bill in their wallet, imagine how many robberies there would be…

MakeIt good idea, send me $100

MakeIt Why?

MakeIt If you have kids, don’t do this.

MakeIt 🤔 🤔 🤔

MakeIt Theis would have been a good article 30 years ago. I can’t remember the last time I’ve bothered carrying cash-

MakeIt 'Carrying large bills may help curb your spending' --- Not really. I'm more eager to spend with large bills in my wallet. But I also feel secure, since an emergency might arise while I'm on the road, and the large bills can save me.

MakeIt *$120 adjusted for inflation.

MakeIt 'Carrying large bills may help curb your spending' --- Not really. I'm more eager to spend with large bills in my wallet. But I also feel secure, since an emergency might arise while I'm on the road, and the large bills can save me.

MakeIt

MakeIt I mean it's not like you're gonna pay for something, then you realize you have a $100 bill and decide not to buy? Lol

MakeIt Oh look it’s TaraBull808 😂

MakeIt Where do you guys find this garbage? Really?!

MakeIt Bad content

MakeIt That $100 wouldn’t last a day with me. A week top. I do better using my debit card. I have several accounts... Bills, Spending, and Savings.

MakeIt I keep a $100,000 note in mine for the same reason...it's from Vietnam though.. Not for the value, but the feeling.

MakeIt Cash is a carrier of COVID19!

MakeIt That’s true 👌

MakeIt Back in the 80s a co-worker in NYC always kept a $20 in his wallet. He called it “mugger money”. I guess inflation?

MakeIt Money advice from a social worker? What next? Medical advice from taxi drivers?

MakeIt Wow is really on a right wing binge😐

MakeIt Read the reason why you should keep a 100.00.The reason you won’t spend it ! What if really need something and the merchant won’t break it

MakeIt Average Americans can’t afford a $500 emergency but okay

MakeIt 😕

MakeIt All about self control and financial education 💯

MakeIt Who’s the psychologist? He needs to have his head examined!

MakeIt Promoting robbery!

MakeIt Easier said than done. Nearly 80 percent of American workers (78 percent) say they're living paycheck to paycheck.

MakeIt don't think phycologist has ever experienced being robbed.....

MakeIt Did you pocket yours 😂

MakeIt Not in my neighborhood.

MakeIt Why?

MakeIt Did a pickpocket write this?

MakeIt That works for my mother in law. Every time Im with her she says to me “can you pay, all I have is a $100”. She’s had that same $100 since 1998.

leimer MakeIt Had wages kept pace the higher productivity from 1980 the minimum wage would be $22/hour today & all wages would be roughly twice what they are today. Telling workers to tighten our belts and be more fiscally responsible in light of this is insulting.

leimer MakeIt The idea that millions of working Americans who live paycheck to paycheck & can't afford a $400 emergency can fix their financial woes if they just were more fiscally responsible is a way to ignore 50 years of stagnant low wages & systemic underfunding of vital social programs.

MakeIt 'Thank you you FOOLISH PAWN'S' -MOGGERS

MakeIt Curiosity here. How often Americans use cash? Have they learned how to make transfers by themselves yet? In Europe we mostly use card or transfer, rarely we use cash. Whereas, in China, phones are used for payments practically everywhere. They just skipped cards completely.

MakeIt MAYBE NOT $100 BUT SOME EXTRA MONEY

MakeIt Is this a sponsored post by the muggers guild?

MakeIt I don't think that concept works too well here in Nevada.

MakeIt I also practice that too in Nigeria. I always have a N1500 that I never spend just in-case of any emergency. Cheers

MakeIt The psychologist must moonlight as a pickpocket

MakeIt Old fake news

MakeIt Assuming you are part of the 1pct benefitting from the permabull central bank criminals wealth creation then you will have one in your wallet while the 99pct don’t know what one looks like

MakeIt Like 20 years ago, LoL 😂

MakeIt Thank you from all the muggers frustrated from ppl not carrying cash anymore.

MakeIt I always keep it for emergencies, if card has issues reading.

MakeIt Your account is really and truly stupid.

MakeIt Exactly

MakeIt Doc_Natasha

MakeIt What a groundbreaking idea that has been around at least as long as I've been alive (50 years) from this psychologist.
