<prompt> Human: So Im traveling out of state for a week about 10 hours away from home. I have 500 saved up for vacation expenses were staying with friends for free, fiancé is paying for gas since were using my car, etc. Im wondering if its better to take this out in cash to use, or to use my credit card then just make a 500 credit card payment?  <response>: If you use your credit card, and your wallet gets loststolen, you wont lose very much money. If you use cash, and your wallet gets stolen, youll lose 500. Either way, your vacation will be very annoying for a little while. I would say bring your credit card.
