- majjam 5y agoI'd argue there are advantages to both cheques and paper money over digital. Your purchases can't be as easily tracked if you use paper money for example.
- Rd6n6 5y agoI use and prefer paper money every chance I get. Digital cash makes it far harder to track spending and stick to a budget

- azemetre 5y agoKinda curious where you live because I haven't seen nearly anyone use cash in my immediate family or friend group in nearly a decade. There's only a few people I know, one is an aunt who is over 70 years old and the other is a stripper. Everyone else I know just uses a credit or debit card. Even buying drugs people will just opt to use venmo or cashapp rather than going to an ATM. I will say my family lives near large metro areas. Maybe in more rural cities people are more likely to use cash?
- decafninja 5y agoIsn't Japan the place (in)famous for still using paper money everywhere?
- Rd6n6 5y agoWhy is it infamous to use paper money besides during a pandemic? It’s the only way to buy something without being tracked and profiled, and it makes budgeting easier. You can actually exchange it without an intermediary taking a cut or deciding to block the transaction
- presentation 5y agoThe government decided recently that cashless payments are the future so they’ve been heavily incentivizing people to use transit cards and such for payments, as of recent almost all chains and many small stores accept them :)
