RE: Paris: The Louvre and Other Sites

Out loud I was like "oh sorry, I didn't realize that you wanted money.

Yes, you should have seen that one coming. Still, I get your reaction. I hate being bothered and then getting that kind of a surprise, and would probably have reacted the same.

I don't carry cash around with me in general.

My economics professor said that his monthly budget of expenses included an extra €300 for the eventuality of being mugged. He said he valued his life and felt that if he was to be mugged at the corner of the street, having that money to hand over could be enough to save his life.

Not all of us have that luxury, but it was food for thought that still resounds in my head. #AnExpenseForYourLife.

Yeah I should have seen it coming for sure.

That's interesting. I feeling if I carried around that amount of money I would just end up spending more money. It's like "hey I have cash, what the heck may as well just buy that (insert item here)" 😆

"hey I have cash, what the heck may as well just buy that

I'm with you there! That's one of the reasons why I seldom carry cash. My professor was an exemplary and disciplined economist.
Sad to say it, but I could only trust that a thief would have the right instinct to go to him and not me if ever we were walking down the same street.😆

Haha yeah exactly. Carrying around that amount of cash is just asking to get mugged. Thieves always know who to target 😆

Thieves always know who to target 😆

Haha! That's true.
I've got all kinds of friends, including dodgy ones, who tell me that if they were robbing they would pick me. Not because I'm flashy, but because I just look like I have money... That's scary because that's SO FAR from the truth 😅

Haha that's pretty funny 😂
