Cash

[personal profile] agoodwinsmith 2018-09-11 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Cash is still useful for what I would call ritual payments: money under the pillow for the toothfairy; buying cookies from the Girl Guides when they go door to door; paying a child an allowance; buying 50/50 tickets at the fall fair.

While I was still working I usually paid cash for my lunch at the cafeteria because it was just too easy to spend too much using debit. I will use it at thrift stores or crafters' markets when I am using the physical limit in my wallet to prevent me from buying one of everything - naturally, if something is really good, I break my own rule.
