You're missing the point though. We know Sweden is cashless, I live there too and the article isn't about Sweden becoming cashless. It's about an opposing opinion to the cashless trend that we're already used to. You might not know anyone who shares the opinion but I do, several of them. Personally I share the opinion on an ideological level but practically I'm just too lazy to make a real change in my life. I have friends who always swing by the ATM before we go out, while I pay for everything on my cards. But the real issue here is that if we rely 100% on an electronic method of payment we'll be more crippled than necessary if some calamity would befall our society.

No I'm not missing the point. I am solely criticizing the absolute lack of accuracy in the headline, as it is misleading beyond the normal level of how headlines are usually misleading. I have not made any comment about opinions about cash, whether I know someone who is has concerns about the lack of cash, or about my own standpoint. In general terms, I feel like you about the topic: "Personally I share the opinion on an ideological level but practically I'm just too lazy to make a real change in my life." That, however, can hardly be called "turning against cashlessness" :)

> Personally I share the opinion on an ideological level but practically I'm just too lazy to make a real change in my life. I 100% share this sentiment. The only times I use cash is when I travel to the US.
