I have a 16GB SD card for backups and it is formatted as NTFS and it has no problems with file sizes larger then 4 GB. My current backup.7z on the card is 6.GB.

I am the opposite. I do carry a good amount of cash in my wallet plus the following :

- Emergency cash at home (large and medium bills )
- car glove compartment (small and medium bills )
- Trunk bag ( small and medium bills )
- Emergency bag - One pouch loaded with small bills, another loaded with medium bills

Emergency cash has saved the day so many times.

Cash? Whats that?

I have between $5-10 in my car, and around $500 @home in a safe. Otherwise I have actual cash probably fewer than 5 days/month.

To avoid the small problem of not being able to shop on no wallet days, I'm adding 5-$10 to the glove box, lunch bag and a few other places.
