I’ve been paying digitally for a long while and never felt the need for a leather wallet in my pocket. I usually roll up a 10 to 20 dollars in my fob pocket just in case and i usually just forget about it.
Am i the only strange one here

Edit: In india we have UPI and only banks and governments gets the data if using the bhim app by NPCI and even local street vendors have those

    There are still a ton of folks who are cash only in the US. Some of it is because cards and digital transactions make it easy to track people (in the US at least). Others can’t open bank accounts for one reason or another, usually because they don’t have an address or appropriate ID. And quite a few only accept cash so they don’t have to report their income, because they are on disability or they owe money to the government.

    I’m actually dealing with my last example right now. I want to hire someone, they only want cash but I live 5 hours away from them so it’s causing some difficulty. They don’t even want a check because they are so cautious about their income being tracked that way.
