Tangentially related: ever since I read “In Praise of Cash” [1], I started doing as many transactions as possible in cash. I make sure I carry enough change in different denominations so that I can pay almost any amount without having to worry about inconveniencing the receiver for change. It may seem like a hassle to others, but I’m ok with this.

- late2part 7y agoThis is somewhat similar to what You Need a Budget ("YNAB") does. Whereas you are prepared for any transaction and deliberately process it manually; YNAB forces the user to manually document and enter the transaction, recreating a similar process as you do physically. This creates a tangible transaction in the human's brain - making the action stick and be more real.
