Am I the only person here who still prefers to carry a wallet and pay with cash?

  Nope. I prefer my merchants keep more of the money, and the banks less. Also, I have a better grasp of the money running through my fingers, literally.

  I prefer paying with cash. But I don't keep the cash in my wallet--I hate wallets. But for my ATM card, various credit cards (used for large purposes), and driver's license, I'd go without a wallet. The one I currently use is a small one anyhow, intended as a business card holder. Pick pockets aren't as common as they once were, at least in the U.S., but I never use my back pockets for anything. Even disregarding pick pockets, it's much easier to lose stuff that way, like when getting on and off a bus. So pocket space is at a premium for me, especially after I relented and bought a cell phone, which keep getting bigger and bigger. (And I would never keep my financial data on a cellphone, even if they promised it was safely embedded on a crypto chip... I just wouldn't trust them to have done it properly.) Frankly, I think Plastc seems quite useful, at least superficially. The devil is in the details.

  I hate cash and can't wait until it's gone forever. I hate wasting time getting it out of the bank, I hate having to make sure I have enough at all times, I hate the crappy little coins I get back in change, I hate not being able to track where my money went easily.
