Going cashless

[Bliksis]

People still use physical cash? I don't remember the last time I went to an ATM to withdraw money. It's always either tap, insert or swipe.

Yes

Haven’t used an ATM in probably 5 maybe even 10 years.

Draw money with groceries at the till once every three months or so just because my domestic lady sometimes wants a bit of cash for transport otherwise it’s all EFT.

Otherwise everything is cardless.

Cardless is not cashless.

Cash is king. Freedom is king!

Erm…there is no cash so how is it not?

And what I was specifically meaning is that it’s the only time I use my card as you still need it to draw cash.

Even my kid’s primary school is basically cashless. Thank goodness.

I thought most fees were paid via eft and not cash.

Same here, wife is the only one who ever has cash, but even she doesn't get it from the ATM. It comes from other wives buying our clutter on fb marketplace.

So from you then
I'd rather use the ATM tbf, better ROI

Not in this thread, these people don't believe that. Don't say that here. Wrong crowd

Yup, was mostly talking about the kids carrying cash for civvie day, paying for photos, tuck shop, etc.

I usually have a couple of Rands in my wallet, but that's only for the car wash and the odd beggar, petrol attendant, pamphlet dispenser.

Why are kids even being allowed to pay for stuff themselves. They should just put everything on the parents account/statement.

Please don't give beggars anything, You are not the ANC, if someone wants something then they need to stop being a bum and get up to do real work.

Why are kids being taught the value of money?

I just looked through my records and realised that I last withdrew cash at an ATM on 31 Oct 2021.

I seem to have gone cashless without realising it.

If it were not for my wife, carguards and the like would starve. Even the parking attendants in Stellenbosch take card payments and vendors who don't have card machines will take SnapScan or equivalent. My occasional garden engineer is paid via EFT.

Does anyone else still handle cash?

Nope ... try my best to not handle cash. Have not used an ATM in about 10yrs

Kids can be taught the value of money at home. School is not there to do the parents job.

pragtig.

Cash is certainly not king for me, but I'm a long way away from cashless.

My barber only takes cash so I only get a haircut when I happen upon some notes.

Normally I get cash by lending money to a cleaner at work (by EFT), and then she pays me back cash. She’s running a small pyramid scheme of sorts, every month she borrows from one of us to pay back the other.

Parents send kids to schools to learn, even about money, because most parents make lousy teachers.
