Is cash still king?
Good News Article:
More people are saying goodbye to cash and hello to cards and apps. From paying for coffee to splitting a bill, digital wallets like PayPal and Apple Pay are now the norm. Even small businesses are going cashless!
Why is this happening? First, it’s convenient. No need to carry coins or find an ATM. Second, it’s fast. One tap, and your payment is done.
But some worry about this trend. What if your phone battery dies? What if there’s a technical issue? Plus, some older people or small communities prefer cash.
Experts say cashless payments are here to stay, but having a little cash on hand is still a smart move. What do you think? Will you ditch cash completely?
