Same and I really hate it, I was so much better at budgeting whne I used cash, I would take out money at the beginning of the week (for everything other than rent and bills) and when it was gone I wouldn't spend anymore, I really need to start that again tbhI carry cash but that's because I like to nip into charity shops etc but I'm definitely using cards more then I used to .
I've started doing this again recently.Same and I really hate it, I was so much better at budgeting whne I used cash, I would take out money at the beginning of the week (for everything other than rent and bills) and when it was gone I wouldn't spend anymore, I really need to start that again tbh
where on earth did you get the idea they’d switch your money off for buying things bad for the environment?Boris is being open about it now. Get shut of cash so everything you ever buy is on a card. But if you do things bad for the environment like buy too much meat, buy too many plane tickets, buy too much petrol for your car in a short space of time etc it would be red flagged at their end and your card with access to your own money will be able to be switched off.
You seen what's happening with law abiding people being sanctioned here just for being Russian? Well do you not think if we went cashless so everyone had to buy things without cash the government wouldn't use that as a way to make the public do as they say? You've a criminal record so we are freezing your bank. You're overweight we are freezing your bank. You were at a protest against us we are freezing your bank.Wheee on

I’m being silly?You seen what's happening with law abiding people being sanctioned here just for being Russian?

You've a criminal record so we are freezing your bank. You're overweight we are freezing your bank. You were at a protest against us we are freezing your bank.
You're being silly if you think not being able to use cash to buy anything ever again wouldn't be used by the government to pressure and/or punish people.
Blimey I've heard it all now. I mean!!!You seen what's happening with law abiding people being sanctioned here just for being Russian?

They are sanctioning law abiding Russian people because they are Russian. Nothing to stop people in the future from stopping having money available if they don't abide to something. You don't think for example if there was no more cash so you had to pay for everything on card and say you were clinically obese, the government wouldn't at least have the idea to make your bank card reject any purchase over X amount of calories? The same government that legally banned us from seeing our friends and family?I’m being silly?
Because yes sanctioning Russians is exactly like freezing an overweight persons bank account for buying sweets at Tesco
How would Boris know somebody is overweight?They are sanctioning law abiding Russian people because they are Russian.

The same as he finds out anything, he would be told by people in the know. He could easily make it law that NHS staff tell him about anyone they deal with who is clinically obese. It would be easy to make it so if someone is known to have a drink issue they can legally make it so if they tried to buy booze their card would automatically decline the transaction.How would Boris know somebody is overweight?
I mean this with the upmost respect, please get help.The same as he finds out anything, he would be told by people in the know.

In this future scenario, it is unlikely to be Boris in charge.The same as he finds out anything, he would be told by people in the know. He could easily make it law that NHS staff tell him about anyone they deal with who is clinically obese. It would be easy to make it so if someone is known to have a drink issue they can legally make it so if they tried to buy booze their card would automatically decline the transaction.
You're underestimating the way the world is going. Governments all over the world have showed how much they love power and control these past two years and I see nothing to think in the future this will change. With advances in technology don't be shocked to the level control ends up being. Let's bump this thread in ten years time and seeI mean this with the upmost respect, please get help.
Tbh I'd be a bit pissed at that, I hate carrying cash, its far too easy to be lifted, as careful as I am with my purse I still dont trust having large amounts in it, my phone is kept in my front pocket at all times so if my purse was lifted I could with ease close my card down before they had a chance to use it, plus in some cases you are protected an can get it back if it has been spent, if it was only cash I'd be screwed, an at somthing like that where I'd be away for a while I'd need quite a bit of cash on meWhat a wonderful storyCash remains king.
Yeah I was there, paying for stuff was a real shambles. In days gone by Glasto would have had loads of cash machines scattered about the festival site but I saw very few of those this year, presumably because they expected nobody to need cash.What a wonderful storyCash remains king.
Jesus, who uses cash these days? I can't remember the last time I saw a note and I'm an old fart. My kids laugh at me because I pay contactless, they use apple pay with their phones.What a wonderful storyCash remains king.
I've never heard of a card paying without it pressing onto the contacless machine. My children's school stopped cash years ago, we had to top up their dinner money online which transferred onto their swipe cards.I use cash. Much prefer being able to feel my money as I hand it over to someone it makes me conscious of how much I’m spending where’s if I buy something on my card it feels like I haven’t spent money until I look at my bank balance!
My boys school only take cash for trips, school dinner etc, i prefer paying cash when ordering takeout so I can tip the driver, same as other services I like to tip. Anyone who refuses cash doesn’t get my service!
My card has been hacked before, I’ve also had an issue where I wanted to pay cash for shopping and the shop assistant said my payment had already gone through I looked at her like what?! And she said it was paid by visa contactless, turned out it picked it up from my handbag. Put me off it. I go to the bank once a week to lift out what I need and it helps me stay in budget with our spending.
