How much money should I bring with me on a trip?
The amount of money you should bring on a trip depends on the length of stay and also the type of activities you're going to do. A lot of times you can use your credit card for most of the purchases you're going to make, such as at a restaurant, for your hotel, and even for taxi cabs. So what I like to do is figure out how much money I'm going to need in cash for incidental expenses, such as maybe buying a coffee at a cafe or maybe buying a quick lunch. And a lot of times if it's only a short trip, I'll maybe have $100 in local currency and that will be it. And the rest of the things I'll put on my ATM or on my credit card.
