| Here in the United States there are talks that they want to get rid of the US penny, due to people nowadays preferring to use credit cards over cash. So it got me thinking, how are you in this category? Do you prefer credit cards over cash? A mix of both? Or maybe you're one of those rare individuals that still writes checks. |

| I always carry cash with me, but I only pay stuff like groceries, some clothes, some books, mags, hair dressers, other smaller stuff with it, while I nowadays prefer to just use my card for bigger purchases and paying for stuff for which it might be more convenient to have some additional form of attestation of payment. Otherwise, I don't really want to have every little purchase land on my bank statement I also use small coins for paying and have paid the exact sum twice in cash that way today. Btw: I still don't have any credit card and haven't set up my phone for paying, I'm just using a debit card for the most part for digital purchases |
| Cash, yes. Change, not really unless I'm going to the car wash. I use cash and debit card about equally out in public. |

| I carry like 50 euros at most, which I almost never use, but not having any cash on me makes me feel anxious. You never know when some restaurant waiter or cashier or a taxi driver, or whatever will surprise you with a "cash only" at the end, and now you have a bunch of people staring at you and you feel like a criminal for being unable to pay for whatever it is that you ordered, and then there's this middle-aged couple who'll start ranting about how far technology has went and how it all heralds the imminent downfall of humanity, and everyone is shaking their heads and nodding in agreement as if it's my fault the damn place didn't charge their POS terminal. It's a nightmare! |
| I thought they wanted to get rid of the penny because they cost more to make than they're worth? Not because less people carry physical money. That aside, I still use cash. I use it as a way to limit my spending on certain things. Yes, if I run out of what I have, I could go to an ATM or just use a card, defeating the purpose of the limit, but this works for me. |
| Only time I carry cash ever is if I have to pull money out of the ATM and pay somewhere thats cash only. Which is only a few places |
 |
| Nah I don't even carry my card either. I do everything through apps like Apple pay. |
| I carry a small amount just in case my card declines or something lol, thankfully that's never happened. |
 |
| I do because i think like that it's easier to see how much money is used, like with cards you really don't witness it but giving/using cash it's like idk kinda witnessing it and you're more aware? ;D cus with card you can easily just swipe and that's it |
 |
| I still carry cash with me, but barely ever pay with it. |
 |
| Many Chinese restaurants and stores are still cash only. |
   Time...it will not wait...no matter...how hard you hold on...it escapes you... |
| i don't like leaving permanent records about my buying habits that will be sold and used by god knows who in the future. cash is my preferred method of payment in my day to day life. |
