A note about cash from Chapter Nine to Chapter Twelve

You start Chapter Nine with a cash amount of 120 in your wallet and there are opportunities to find more free cash at various points in Chapters Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve.
There is 600 in total hidden throughout these four episodes.  

Finding all of that cash will take some exploring and will compromise what you can do during each of those chapters.  
But as with all the chapters, you can't do everything in one play through.
That's the consequence of creating replay value though...

Speculate to accumulate
The cash you have at the end of each chapter does get saved from one chapter to the next.  You can therefore accumulate a reasonable amount going into the start of Chapter Twelve as long as you don't spend it all before you get there.

Whatever cash amount you have saved at the end of Ch11 will be with you at the start of Ch12.
As long as you have a Ch11 game save with plenty of cash, you can use it to start Ch12 again and again and explore everything.

That way you will always start with the same level of cash but can use it in different ways with each new play through.  

You do not however get any cash back that you use during each chapter.
So if you start with 200 and finish with zero, then that game gets saved with zero cash.

What do I need cash for?
Throughout the Thursday evening chapters (Ch9-12) you can use cash to purchase a variety of things. You need to pay for meals, drinks, taxi rides and movie tickets.
You may also need to offer bribes to corrupt cops and doormen, or leave some generous tips.
Buying more expensive drinks like Champagne and tipping staff members can often lead to more positive outcomes down the line. There's a balance between frugality and frivolity.
Whatever cash you have left over can get used in the strip club.
If you need more then you can use credits to buy more.

Bonus scenes are still bonus scenes
You still need credits to unlock the bonus scenes, but once unlocked they remain unlocked.
To get to the Pink Pussy strip club bonus scene unlock points does however require spending cash.

Play the long game...
With a bit of strategic gameplay in chapters nine, ten and eleven, you don't necessarily need to use any credits to purchase any cash. Being frugal and resourceful pays off in Ch12.  

Or go crazy, it's your choice...
At the same time, you can use credits to buy all the cash you need and spend it like there's no tomorrow!
It's your choice and also reflects upon the fact that many of you have literally thousands of credits to use.  

Finally, Chapter Twelve is the last time that you need to use cash.
So if you blow it all in this chapter then there is no ongoing consequence.
But remember, whether you choose to spend it or keep it in the strip club then you don't get it back if you start again.
You only go back to what you had at the end of Chapter Eleven!

Strip clubs are reassuringly expensive after all.
