Are you comfortable with plastic money while shopping ?

It might surprise you all that I never have any debit or credit card , i always love to purchase with cash and coins ,

We need to keep cash alive.
After a year of business telling us they’ll only accept card payments because of covid..... the momentum toward eradication of cash is growing

@Picklebobble2 in our country once our ruler trying to implement cashless economy but in name of that they destroyed our economy

Cash is people’s only bargaining tool.

Without it your haggling is worthless !

Card only. Everything you want will be at the price discretion of the seller !

Governments are trying to move to a cashless society so they can control the money supply and taxation. If everything is documented, it is harder to cheat on your taxes.

I don’t carry cash because I’ll lose it. I also like being able to go online and track what I’ve bought.

@Jenny1234 Over the course of a year, I probably spend more money on Amazon than any other retailer, (with the exception of groceries).

The feds are trying their best to figure a way to get rid of cash.

If you want to ruin a homeless person's day, tell them that you don't carry cash, you only carry debit or credit cards, and you have not used cash in 2 years.

I have told that to 2, 3 people and wow....all of them looked like someone punched them in the stomach.

Silentpleasure · 31-35, F

The convivence of a debit card is what I love most but I still carry cash with me as a back up.

adorbz · 26-30, F

I haven’t used cash in ages tbh

NerdyPotato · M

@adorbz But cards didn't even exist until about 40 years ago. What did you use in the rest of those ages?

adorbz · 26-30, F

@NerdyPotato christmas cards

NerdyPotato · M

@adorbz that would work. I think those have been around for centuries in some form or another.

jackson55 · M

Cashless is coming.

taneegoan · 31-35, F

@jackson55 if covid continued like this we must be cashless soon

jackson55 · M

@taneegoan It has nothing to do with COVID that’s a excuse. The US has wanted to get rid of cash for years. It will be a few years but cash will be phased out.

taneegoan · 31-35, F

@jackson55 i don't know about there but in my country banks are merging with each other for lack of money , people running away from country after billions of debts so soon we will became real cashless
