I'm just like your daughter! I carry zero cash and just my debit card. For me it really does keep my spending down. I have no problem spending cash on any impulse I feel, but I think more before using my debit card (which is only attached to my checking account).
It drives my boyfriend crazy that I don't carry any cash. He likes to always have a little bit on him 'just in case.'
I carry cash if I am going somewhere when it is gone it is gone. Otherwise I generally don't. I carry my debit card with hardly any money in my chequing account(my efund is in my savings account and I cannot access it with my card) I also carry my credit card which I rarely use. If I don't spend what I was planning to, I leave the cash at home to supplement what I pay my kids for allowance so I don't have to replenish it as often. I fund flip basically from one overage to another shortage in another category. It works out.
I work at my store all day long and If I want a bag a of chips I just take one LOL! Its probably why I am 30 pounds over weight!
The most is $140. Every payday (every 2 weeks) I take out $320. $40 is for gas, $80 is for the cleaning lady and $200 is my allowance for two weeks (food and fun). I put $180 in the drawer immediately and then carry around the $140 until a) Its gone or b) the next wednesday hits. If I have any left on Wednesday then I stick it in a jar for those times when I am short.
Complicated and convoluted I know . . . but it works for me!

Duke, is that your weekly spending money, or do you just carry a couple of hundred until it runs out?
I'll bet you never worry about losing your wallet.
