I tend to carry a $100, a $50, and some small bills. That’s enough to cover most purchases or small emergencies I might encounter. If I get robbed and I’m out $200, I will be irritated, I will likely vow vengeance and mumble about my revenge for a week or two, but it will be okay.
Just don’t be the asshole going to the store first thing in the morning for a $5 item and paying for it with that $100 bill. I still have nightmares about them.
