Is it weird that my boyfriend never carries / uses cash?

[Anonymous]

I just noticed this recently, everything is paid by card, or apple pay, and I checked his wallet a few times and he has NO cash in there.

Is that weird, or something I should worry about, or just normal?

I just think it's strange, surely everybody carries at least a little cash.

Sadly, no; it's not weird. It's not practical, either, but that sort of thing isn't going to come up often. You'd think with a pandemic going on, people would be more practical- cash is only touched by you and the cashier; that keypad's been touched by hundreds if not thousands of people- but there's not a lot of logic going around where that's concerned.

I don't. With contactless you don't need cash.

I personally don't have the habit of carrying cash with me either. It's just so much more convenient to pay with card or trough apps.

I don't either and no one in my house does except my parents.

That depends.

Cash is used more in some regions more than others. Also, generational-differences are a factor, as are anti-COVID-countermeasures.

It's getting more normal with these young folk
Old timers like me use cash predominantly

I don't know what it's like where you are but a lot of shops here won't take cash now because of the Covid.

I never use cash unless there’s no other option.

I fully support businesses going cashless.
