A credit card
I'm a cash only person, but have it for extreme emergency. I never used in 5 years may not even work anymore.
I hate credit, credit puts you debt

@HumanEarth Yeah, sure! Much as I love cash transactions, it's now near-impossible to use them, or even tender cheques, unless you can restrict your shopping to local brick-&-mortar stores.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

@HumanEarth That's OK. I just wish it was still possible to deal almost exclusively in cash, in any place I'm familiar with. Where do you live?

USA, you can if you want to hard enough

@HumanEarth If your potential partner in a transaction won't take cash - as many businesses and government agencies no longer will, there's unlikely to be a way you can somehow complete the deal by forcing it on them (geographic location notwithstanding.)

Like I won't I go to or do things I once enjoy things I used enjoy because they went cashless.
But if the world would stand up and refuse to use plasic. We wouldn't be facing this cashless world. Cashless is 100% traceable, were cash is not.
I do not like being track on my purchases, my location or anything. I like privacy
You Lose Privacy When You Pay Digitally or With a Card
It Could Be Harder To Control Your Spending
You Will Be Charged Fees on Transactions
Not Everyone Has Access to Electronic Payments (I Refuse To Part Of That)

@HumanEarth I agree with much of what you say and use cash wherever I can but I find 'cash only' totally impractical/impossibe in these times; unless I could somehow live as a totally self-sufficient hermit. Good luck with your crusade.
