Over ten years ago there were those (on another message board) who said credit cards and debit cards would take the place of cash and checks. Well, I still have two checking accounts and cash. I have a debit card but only use it about once or twice a month to get cash.
I have nothing against technology for those who like it or enjoy it. But to me, personally, it represents a big expense and I see it as problematic. I don't even like it when I have to reset my answering machine. My electricity went off a couple of weeks ago and I still haven't reset it. I just consider it a nuisance.
I never need to worry about having fresh batteries to operate the cash in my wallet. And I never have to worry about remembering a password or code number to use cash. Also, studies have proved that people spend more when they don't have to fork over any cash. For example, people tend to overspend when they use credit cards in place of cash.
