Yes those tiny markets with farmers and other small dealers, how should they survive?
Those ideas to give up any cash money is a weird, perfidious consideration of some banksters, politicians and others who would like to get total control over the citizens.
With me : NEVER!
Totally agree
Cash is still needed for small purchases/tips/meters/etc. I just use less of it than I did when I was a wee lad.
So I am still a wee lad. 
Claro, si Senor!
If you would pay with cards or other non-cash possiblities, your boss might get some knowledge were you are strolling around while you should be working in the office!!! âŚhehe! 
LMAO. So true. Sad thing is, Iâve handed cash over to the cashier to pay for an item recently and he looked flustered on how much change to give me back. Everything has become so automated and thought out for us that kids nowadays have a hard time doing simple match. Pretty soon, itâll have us asking the cashier, if they still take Cash. 
Why I prefer Google Pay on my Wear OS, my watch if I take off my wrist (has heart rate sensor) it requires to enter an unlock PIN. So its just put watch on wrist and thatâs mostly all you need.
Cash-less is diffferent by country.
In UK since they moved to plastic notes cash from paper youâd reach into your pocket and accidentally lose a ÂŁ10 as it just slides or bounces out of your pocket unawares.
Hence only plastic to use is credit, there are more protections.
In UK there is a maximum about ÂŁ25 I think for contactless.
Well the original post refers back to that issue, I suspect cash-only is probably illegal but would require someone to test that in the courts. It would be more of a problem if you needed a specific thing which was only available in proximity cash-less.
Im probably like 85% cashless and 15% cash
Once in a while, when I receive exceptional service, I like to tip with cash, as its more immediately tangible.
but for the rest of the time, i use Samsung pay (which works at pretty much any credit card swipes), or credit cards
I voted for not using cash. I rarely use cash. I carry a few 20s in my wallet for those places that refuse to take credit cards or offer discounts for paying in cash. I do not carry a check and havenât for years. Living in the country many of services take cash or check and charge a few dollars to run a credit card.
At some point I will setup payments through my phone.
I rarely use cash and I long for a world without it. Then again, thereâs a point where using plastic and NFC devices hurts small local business owners. I wish we find a solution soon.
Just today I read about the huge gap between cashless payments in developed asian countries such as South Korea and Japan. Where South Korea is moving towards cashlessness with more and more people using plastic or NFC devices for payment, cash is still the main payment form in Japan, and it most likely wonât change anytime soon. Itâs an interesting read, I recommend: https://www.wired.com/story/japan-holdout-asia-cash-free-future/ It touches cultural points in Japan in a way most people wouldnât imagine - specially those who never been there. I remember reading another article about how business cards are also huge there, and a main part of any business meeting, involving even a quick ritual of âcard reconnaissanceâ and business card machines for those who find themselves without them.
Similar, Google Pay, off my watch. What that means is the âwalletâ moved from paper and metal in pocket to plastic in pocket, to virtual plastic in phone in pocket, to now virtual plastic on my wrist.
On the topic of people using cash to budget, that is an individualâs ability, we are are all different, I know people who do not have the math gene and need to see physical cash, but I know people who budgeting in their heads or in spreadsheets.
Pretty much only for gasoline because every gas station in this area gives you a lower price for cash than credit.
Cash and prepaid cards for online shopping.
Cash is king.
