Count me as one that hates dealing with cash. I take cash out of the ATM $200 at a time and I sometimes go months before I need more. If I can pay with a smartphone app, Apple Pay or credit card, I do so. That way it feeds into my financial software into neat categories so that I can carefully log and track my expenses. For better or worse, I believe we are quickly headed to a cashless society.
I really appreciate the cash-only customers in front of me at the grocery checkout, as they wait until the cashier tells them the total before they take out their wallet/purse, dig through it for bills, then take out their coin purse and assemble exact change to hand the cashier.
Yeah, thanks folks.
And I have little doubt the fascist forces in our government will be enthusiastic for it because of those very same reasons.
I occasionally see stories about "negative interest rates."
A Cashless society would make such an "innovation" unavoidable.
