I imagine not having to physically forking out the notes and coins from the one you have in your pocket/wallet, where you can literally see your money supply diminishing, also has something to do with that.
- Liquid_Fire 3y agoThat might be the case if we were comparing it to cash, but the article appears to be comparing it to card payment.
- lxgr 3y agoI do believe that some people account for money that way, but for me it's the opposite: On my credit card statement or bank account, I can at the end of the month see in detail how much I've spent, broken down by category and merchant; with cash, it all just shows up as "ATM withdrawals" and I have no sense for where it all went.
- Ylpertnodi 3y agoI use a budget/ spending tracker and even my cash spending is logged, which is really tedious but has reigned in my overspends. There's always a rounding error with cash (lost a coin, left some in the car etc) but I really surprised myself with some actual savings made. Even 50 cents for a cup of coffee 4 times a day adds up. I completely gave up coffee.
