<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25527799, member: 4626&quot;]I&#039;ll be honest, most of my money shows up as numbers on a computer, and gets spent the same way.&nbsp; I can easily go through a month spending less than $20 in physical cash money.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I was in high school, I read a statistic that of al US dollars in existence, only about 1/3 were in physical currency and coin form.&nbsp; This is now more like 8%.</p><p><br /></p><p>Japan for all its technological advancements, was slower in moving away from cash, but they&#039;re catching up.&nbsp; I still kind of doubt that cash will ever disappear entirely, or at least not anytime soon.&nbsp; Electronic payments solve a lot of problems, but also cause some.&nbsp; Cash is anonymous, and there&#039;s both good and bad that comes from that, but if you don&#039;t really have money in your own hand, you don&#039;t truly have 100% control of it.&nbsp; To at least some small degree you&#039;re forced to put your trust in someone else that it&#039;s safe.&nbsp; I&#039;m not especially paranoid or conspiratorial, but there is some value in holding something anonymously and independently, and I think there always will be.&nbsp; Besides, bank cards look boring in an album lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
