I do not use debit cards. smart man, I o ly use debit card to withdraw cash from bank atm x2 I rarely use cash as I use my Amex because, 1) I can use the app for budget purposes and 2) cash back. And I pay in full every month. |

I know exactly what you are saying cad. Was at my sons a few weeks back and he asked the wife if she would go to trulieve(she has a MM card) and get him some gummies for their upcoming cruise. We get there and he has no cash and says "pops, you have any cash on you?? I open the center console and pull out $100 and hand it to him. He pulls out his phone and venmo's me the $100 It's a brave new world. And in Bidennomice those are counted towards your total taxable income transfers. |

"For tax year 2024, the IRS will transition to a threshold of $5,000 with the $600 limit going into effect the following year, meaning that business transactions that surpass $600 will trigger the 1099-K form, which Venmo, Paypal, Cash App and others will create.Feb 25, 2024.

I always carry cash. My wife spends my cash more than I do.  |

That's the way it always is. They know if you have money.

That's the way it always is. They know if you have money. I give her the money and she pays the bills. I only pay my insurance and phone out of my check. I never go without and have money to spend when I feel like spending it. I'm pretty frugal with my money so I don't need a whole lot. |

I have said cash will disappear in the next 30 to 50 years. It is less and less cash used every year, especially by young people. They use their phone and other electronic means. I doubt even credit and debit cards as we know them will be around in 50 years. You just hold up your phone or whatever device people are using then to buy what you want. And that’s unfortunate. This morning I was in a truck stop just wanting to get some coffee and an egg McMuffin at the McDonald’s. The three customers ahead of me were using their phones to pay. It took probably three minutes per customer to just pay electronically. Myself it was $5.76 and the cashier asked if I wanted to round it up to six even for some charity, handed her six bucks and was out of there. So I still don’t see any advantage to CC or apps. |

Taco Bell has changed in store. You use a machine to order and pay. All the counter person does is give you your order.
I've only used it once the manager was running the machine showing everyone how to use it.
I haven't been back, screw 'em.

To be quite honest the younger generations today can't give change for a $6.63 bill out of $10 dollars unless They're using the cash register or a calculator. Pretty sad... |

We are a dying breed.
My 4 kids carry debit cards, no cash.
I still write and mail checks to pay bills.
My thoughts are that it's not worth me worrying about. Life's too short to worry about those things you're not able to change.
It's their world now. If they want a cashless society, have at it.

I may carry $20 for small purchases, 95% is on the credit card. I use the Publix app for groceries. |

They like the convenience of plastic and basically live in a cashless world. |
