    Recently visited a country where cash is very much preferred and it was such a breath of fresh air. I thought it would be annoying to have to keep up with the spare change and what not but it was fine and actually felt pretty good. I’ve since started using cash a lot more at home.

      I recently had a trip to Japan and had more mixed opinions about it. Mainly because they have a large variety of coins and oh boy do you end up with a lot of them.

        Coinage is the single reason why I’m tipped over the edge to prefer card. I HATE dealing with change.

        I wish there was a card that was closer to cash where the money is stored on the physical card not offsite but that seems like a nightmare in itself… Idk

            That’s what I mean when I say card generally. Doesn’t really help using debit instead of credit. If anything it’s worse because if you get your money stolen you bank doesn’t give a damn, whereas they will send a swat team if you use a credit card.

            But both identify you just the same afaik…
