I have just gone just about a whole month without access to any sort of 'virtual' money through debit or credit card and boy has it been hard. On the day after Christmas I got a call from my American bank saying that somebody (they couldn't tell me who) that I had used my card with online had been 'compromised' and that because of that they had to cancel my debit card and issue a new one. Most of my funds go into that American account so I was worried a bit but they said it would take about a week to get to me in the UK and they gave me a day to take some cash out to tide me over. So, I took out as much as I thought I would need for a bit over a week. Well, two weeks went by and I still didn't have a card. I called and they said 'oops, it never got sent'. Three weeks, still no card. Then today, after much going mental on people, I got my card..a month later.

It has been a real pain with bills and stuff linked to the card. Making it clear that it is pretty much impossible these days to live just on cash.

How long could you go living just on cash with no ability to use a card (debit or credit) for any payments?
