Cashless
Today, when I was out getting my lunch I stopped and thought for a moment. I don’t recalled the last time I used cash to buy something. I debit or credit for pretty much all my purchases, and online banking for the rest of it. Physical money rarely ever in my wallet any more. I’m sure banks just love this though, as they make tons of money off the card fees. But it’s kind of scary when you think about it. If all my money is digital, do I have any money at all? If society where to collapse, I’d be screwed with no real money. That is, assuming money still has any value in a fallen society.
I remember the first time I used my debit to buy a bag of chips. I felt like such a fool for using it for a buck something. It was like “I didn’t have a dollar, but you can take a dollar from my magic money card”. Now I use it for stuff like that and I don’t even think. I probably should carry some cash on me in case of an emergency. Not sure what kind of emergency, but I wouldn’t want to be wishing I had money when all I have is a card that say I have numbers in a computer.
Do you carry cash at all any more or have a jar of money buried in the backyard?
Also… I do remember when I last used cash. About 3 weeks ago I used 5 bucks at the local bulk store to buy pretzels and Big Foot candy. I can’t remember where I got the $5 bucks though. o_O
