Title: more card less cash ,
Post by: alfred on January 09, 2022, 07:12:22 PM
It seems that the idea of using cash is gradually diminishing as its easy simply to swipe your card when it comes to payment  and you don't have to use or remember your pin either ,

how ever the down side of using a card is that if it is stolen or lost any one finding or using it can draw out or pay for small items with out raising suspicions,

Q;  what thoughts have you when it comes to paying by card  could we eventually become a card paying society only , and the need for cash fading into obscurity,

I still have notes in my wallet that came from a cash machine before the first lockdown. Anybody know how long before they de-nature?

cash remains essential, even if only as a back-up when machines break down - which does happen
