Where I live in London, almost all shops theoretically still take cash, but more and more of them don't have change. In the chemist's today, I tried to pay for something costing £15.99 with a £20 note, but they didn't have £4 change. I had to give them a £1 coin so they could give me a £5 note (and a 2p coin, as they didn't have any 1p coins) as change.
This is going to be a hard habit to break . I like how I can reconcile my spending using my bank’s website and my budgeting app. But I agree with you, March, that this is important. I’ll have to set up a system to keep track of where I spent my cash. How do you do it?
For those situations that demand cards, carry a gift card. Untraceable.
As for cash, and tracking I totally agree. My phone tells google how fast traffic is moving! I like that and I hate it at the same time!

Great read. I concur and try to always pay in cash.
Look at the recent drubbing of cryptocurrency markets. People were played as fools and ultimately robbed of their investments.
Been saying this since 1989. Thanks for the support!
