I've been out of income for about a month and had to use the cash reserves that have been piling up over the course of five years. Within just the last three days cashiers have been visibly confused when I've payed with cash, but it's actually pretty nice when you can visualize just how much you have and how much you're spending at a time as opposed to just swiping your card or mobile wallet left and right.
It's made me a little more frugal too which makes me think that all this digitalization of our money reserves is most definitely a ploy to get us to spend more.
>soft card doesn't exist my guy, it's google wallet now samsung pay and apple pay are good too bitcoin isn't very well supported and paypal is kinda

why on earth you'd ever handle money on a smartphone is beyond me. Botnet aside its easily the least secure device most people own, and the most likely to be lost or stolen.
>which makes me think that all this digitalization of our money reserves is most definitely a ploy to get us to spend more That's a well-established fact. Like, they've done a pile of scientific studies on it. People are more reluctant to part with money when they have to hand over cash instead of swiping a card (or clicking "submit order", etc)

That's because Its a pain in the ass to deal with cash and coins. And how can paying cash get me an item from China which is 1/10th the price of anything here

>And how can paying cash get me an item from China which is 1/10th the price of anything here You can wait until you get home to buy chink shit on your desktop, there's zero need to do it on your phone. It'll take a month to arrive on one of those island-size container ships anyway, there's hardly a rush to order.

>paypal >google Both are decent. On top of that, paypal has credit finance which allows you to have good financing option with 0 annual fee. And if you buy anything >$100, no interest for 6 months. Or if you pay before due date, 0 interest. Amazon has something similar too, its useful credit that you can pay it back later when your cash flows again.
